    Hyaluronic Fillers in Lower Third Facial Aesthetics

    The characteristics of the lower third of the face, including lips, perioral region, mandibular area, and chin positioning, directly influence overall facial aesthetics. Hyaluronic fillers offer an effective and precise method for treating this critical facial region.

    Lip augmentation using hyaluronic acid remains one of the most prevalent aesthetic procedures globally. The fundamental aim of any aesthetic intervention should be the patient's beautification and rejuvenation. To achieve optimal results in lip augmentation, conducting a comprehensive facial analysis, both frontal and profile, is essential. The frontal analysis should include horizontal and vertical evaluations, while for profile assessment I use the Tweed-Merrifield profile line, which provides a straightforward approach to understanding facial harmony.

    The Tweed-Merrifield analysis enables precise determination of chin positioning, which can be classified into three categories: normal/eugnathic, distal/retruded, and mesial/prognathic. As patients age, bone resorption and mandibular rotation backward and downward lead to significant changes in chin and mandibular positioning. If the patient has a distal chin position, this should be prioritized during treatment.

    Mandibular angle definition using fillers has become increasingly popular, as many patients desire enhanced mandibular definition. For aging patients, I have developed the MABOT technique (Mandibular Bolus Technique): a non-surgical method for mandibular angle restoration. This technique maintains the original mandibular shape while strategically using hyaluronic acid fillers to replace lost bone tissue.

    Facial attractiveness is directly linked to facial proportions and harmony, which can be effectively achieved through carefully administered hyaluronic filler procedures. The aesthetics of the lower third has a significant impact at overall facial appearance and balance.
