A Supra-Periosteal Injection of YVOIRE Volume Plus to a Diamond-Shaped Area in the Central Face in the Context of Facial Beautification in Asian Women: A Manufacturer-Sponsored,Single-Center,Retrospective Study

Abstract

Introduction:

We have developed a novel, supra-periosteal injection technique for beautification of the central face. We describe its treatment outcomes and safety with a review of literatures.

Materials and Methods:

In this single-center, retrospective, case-series study, we evaluated a total of 27 women (n = 27) who received aesthetic facial beautification using the YVOIRE volume plus (LG Chem Inc., Seoul, Korea). To do this, we designed the diamond-shaped region in the central area of the face and determined injection landmarks and volumes. Treatment outcomes were compared between preoperatively and postoperatively and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) scores were assessed at 3 months. In addition, the safety was assessed based on the incidence of postoperative complications.

Results:

At 3 months, the patients had a mean GAIS score of 3.70 ± 0.76 points, which corresponds to “Very much improved” or “Much improved.” Only non-serious complications occurred, all of which were resolved spontaneously or with symptomatic treatments.

Discussion:

But our results cannot be generalized; the possibility of a selection bias could not be completely ruled out because we included the patients from a single-center only.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we describe treatment outcomes and safety of a supra-periosteal injection of YVOIRE volume plus to a diamond-shaped area in the central face for beautification in Asian women.
