Sculptra can be delivered through a depot method or a crosshatching linear threading technique in the cheeks, temples, and lateral face.
Then, the laterally based cheek flap and lateral lip segments were advanced medially.
Facial soft tissue undergoes significant deterioration over time, with the most dramatic changes between the ages of 30 and 60 years in the temporal, infraorbital, and lateral and medial cheek areas.
The primary outcome, measured at T0 and T1, was the facial skin sagging quotation performed by a blinded dermatologist, thanks to a clinical scoring based on the six-grade scale of Ezure et al 11 and carried out on three different locations: upper part of the cheek/nasolabial folds (B zone), lower part of the cheeks (C zone), and lateral part of the cheek (D zone), as described in Figure 1.
It was collected from the subjects by rubbing 3 fine paper points against patient's cheek mucosa, lateral boarder of the tongue and supragingival plaque at the contra lateral side away from the affected tooth.
Lateral line scales and cheek scales are also distinctive, with sand whiting possessing 60 to 69 lateral line scales and cheek scales positioned in 3-4 rows, all of which are ctenoid.
We present the surgical treatment and the first report of reconstruction of a lateral skull base and cheek defect with an anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap in a pediatric patient.
In conventional maxillary defect preparation, the additional use of a split skin graft into the lateral aspect of the cheek is used to provide a scar band to aid with defect retention, and this brings added morbidity to the procedure especially for a paediatric patient.
Anatomical location of PWS lesion: generally, lesions in the forehead, lateral aspect of the cheek, neck, chest, and shoulder often showed good responses.
The location where the mechanostimulation was less efficient was the upper part of the cheek/nasolabial fold, while a clinical improvement of the sagging was observed in 70% of subjects either on the lower part or the lateral part of the cheek.
