4 Basic Techniques forFiller Procedures
cosmetic analysis (Fig.4.2), or a standard design pen can be used (Fig.4.3).
(a) Forehead Length
If the forehead is relatively short, volume can be created with forehead llers or adjusting the hairline using laser hair removal to make the forehead appear relatively longer. Patients with unattractive foreheads usually cover them with hair. Since the forehead is not always visible in the total length of the face, which can be consid-
ered from the chin to the eyebrows, the face appears wider in relation to its length/ratio. For these patients, it is important to create a balanced forehead that ts the entire face through llers and hair removal.
(b) Nose Length
If the nose appears short, it can be enhanced using llers to increase the height of the nasal bridge or tip to balance the overall nose.
(c) Chin Length
If the chin is short, vertical proportions of the face can be adjusted through chin augmentation. If the face shape is round, the entire face appears larger from the front, so lengthening the chin slightly can make the jawline appear more tapered, thus making the face appear smaller. However, as mentioned above, in today’s Asian facial standards, it is recommended not to have the lower facial proportion excessively longer than the length of the midface.

Secondly, check from the front if the midface appears heart-shaped or inverted triangular (refer

• Frontal View of Cheek Volume
The natural volume of the cheeks from the front is important. While ller treatments were previously popular for targeting specic areas like the nose or nasolabial folds, more recently, using llers to correct the entire facial contour has become more favored. The cheeks occupy half of the midface, and a beautiful cheek line provides a lovely appearance and a good impression. A design that neglects the concept of beauty can backre.
The ideal appearance of the front and side cheeks differs between Westerners and Asians (refer to Sect. 1.2), due to signicant differences in bone structure. In Westerners, the line from the maxilla to the cheekbone naturally forms a curve. However, in Asians, it appears at from the max­illa and then abruptly bends at the cheekbone arch.
In terms of highlighting the cheekbones, Westerners differ from Asians. Western cheek­bone highlights are oval and located closer to the tail of the eye. A reverse S-shape, or ogee curve, is preferred for the side line. In contrast, Asians prefer the highlight to be more circular than oval, and located at or inside the eye tail line.
Westerners often enhance cheekbones with silicone implants, while in East Asians, reducing the volume of the cheekbones through surgery is preferred. When correcting nonsurgically with llers in Asian faces, it is important to design ll-
ing the at volume of the front cheeks more cen­trally than the eye tail. In Western faces, designing the cheek highlight closer to the eye tail to create an ogee curve is crucial.
When the cheekbones are overly protruding, correcting the adjacent temple concavity and side cheek concavity can make the face appear nar­rower horizontally.
When examining the cheeks more closely, check for the presence of nasojugal groove, pal­pebromalar groove, and midcheek groove in the area adjacent to the front cheeks and under the orbits, and design corrections accordingly. If there are nasolabial folds or under-eye hollow­ness, it can give a tired look, so it is advisable to consider this in the design.
• Frontal View: Side Cheeks and Temple
Concavity
Check for any concavity in the side cheeks and forehead. If the cheekbone arch is protrud­ing, it may accompany a concavity in the side cheeks and temples, which can make the face appear wider and give a negative impression.
While moderately protruding cheekbones can be attractive in Westerners, it is not preferred in Asians. In Asian faces with severe concavity in the temples or side cheeks, it is important to design the ller treatment to give a softer impression.

• Presence of Nasolabial Folds
Check if there is signicant hollowness in the nasolabial area. Improving the hollowness in the nasolabial area is as important as increasing the volume in the front cheekbone area to achieve a heart-shaped face (refer to Sect. 1.1).
Nasolabial folds accompany sagging of the cheek skin due to aging of the skin tissues. Therefore, when designing front cheek correc­tions, consider this. Since the cause of nasolabial folds is related to changes in the front cheek fat layer, injecting too much ller volume is not a harmonious correction.
4.1.3 45° View: S-Line/Reverse
S-Line/Ogee Curve
Third, from the 45° view, check the silhouette of the side cheek and the silhouette connecting the forehead-nasal root-tip of the nose-chin (Fig.4.4).
• Ensure that there is no indentation in the fore-
head and that it is smooth. Check if the silhou-
ette of the forehead’s contour is convex in the 45° view and design any necessary corrections.
• Check if the line connecting the forehead­glabella- nose (nasal root) forms a natural S-line curve.
• Design a reverse S-line from the lower lip to the chin. Designing the lips or chin to protrude too far forward is not natural.
• Design the ogee curve from the cheekbone to the side cheek.
It is important to note that Westerners value a
slightly concave ogee curve in the side cheek at a 45° view. However, it should be noted that Asians generally do not prefer an ogee curve as much.

4.1.4 Lateral View: Ricketts Line

Fourth, in the lateral view, design imagining the Ricketts line (Fig.4.5).
We already know that the ideal line connect-
ing the tip of the nose, lips, and chin differs between Asians and Westerners (refer to Sect.
4.1.1). Often, Asians have a shorter chin in the
frontal view, resulting in the chin tip being posi­tioned slightly backward in the lateral view. In

this case, an ideal silhouette aligning with the Ricketts line does not emerge.
Using the Ricketts line to create the ideal con­tour, the following corrections are recommended:
• Elevate the nasal bridge or project the tip of
the nose forward.
• Design the lips to be positioned inside the line,
not protruding beyond it.
• Project the chin tip forward of the line.
Bringing the chin tip forward in the lateral view and lengthening a short chin downward in the frontal view are key elements when perform­ing chin tip ller treatments.
4.1.5 Safe Filler Injection Design:
Marking Hazardous Areas
When designing before a ller treatment, a clear and thorough understanding of hazardous areas is crucial, regardless of whether using a cannula or needle. Understanding and marking the pathways and depths of vessels and nerves before the pro­cedure helps prevent complications. Besides
marking the vessels, it is also helpful to mark the areas to be lled with ller and safe lines in advance.
4.1.5.1 Design Examples forSafe Procedures
Treatment areas and corresponding hazardous structures include:
• Anterior cheek/Under-eye hollowness
– Mark the infraorbital foramen where the
infraorbital artery and infraorbital nerve emerge and the zygomaticofacial fora­men where the zygomaticofacial artery and zygomaticofacial nerve emerge. Mark the pathway of the traveling artery (Fig.4.6).
• Nasolabial folds
– Mark the facial artery and its branches.
• Forehead
– Mark veins, the middle forehead vein, and
the supercial temporal artery. Also, mark the safe areas and entry points for ller injection (Fig.4.7).
• Forehead
– Mark vessels, treatment areas, and safe
entry points for cannula insertion (Fig.4.8).

4 Basic Techniques forFiller Procedures

4.2 Anesthesia: Nerve Block

Most ller procedures require anesthesia using anesthetic cream or lidocaine for nerve blocking. The target nerve for nerve blocking before ller treatment is the trigeminal nerve (CN5). The tri­geminal nerve is divided into three parts: the oph­thalmic (V1), maxillary (V2), and mandibular (V3) branches. The areas covered by each part and the sensory nerves branching from each area are shown in the following gures (Figs.4.9 and
4.10). The nerves that can be blocked during ller
treatments depending on the facial area are as fol­lows (Table4.1).

4.2.1 Supratrochlear Nerve/ Supraorbital Nerve

The supraorbital nerve emerges from the supraor­bital notch, which is located either directly above or slightly inside the center of the pupil. The notch can be palpated by pressing with your hand. Inject about 1 cc of lidocaine near the notch. The injection should be directed upward above the eyebrow, and care must be taken not to inject into the orbital space. In some cases, the nerve branches emerging above the supraorbital margin may not be anesthetized. If this occurs, additional lidocaine can be injected 1cm above the supraorbital margin (Fig.4.11).
Fig. 4.11 Blocking of supraorbital nerve
4.2.2 Zygomaticotemporal Nerve (Fig.4.12)
The zygomaticotemporal nerve emerges at the zygomaticotemporal suture, where the temporal bone meets the zygomatic bone. This can be felt as a protruding bone on the outside of the eyebrow.
The zygomaticotemporal nerve exits from the side of the bone suture and provides sensation to the side of the eyebrow and the temple area.

4 Basic Techniques forFiller Procedures
Insert the needle obliquely from top to bottom (from the skull downwards) and inject lidocaine.
4.2.3 Zygomaticofacial Nerve (Fig.4.13)
The zygomaticofacial foramen is located near the zygomatic bone, where the lower orbital margin intersects with the lateral orbital margin. Insert the needle toward this intersection point, touch the bone, and then inject about 0.5cc of lidocaine.
4.2.4 Lateral Nasal Branch oftheAnterior Ethmoidal Nerve (Fig.4.14)
The lateral nasal branch emerges at the border between the nasal bone and the upper lateral car­tilage. Palpate this border, insert the needle below it, and then inject about 0.5cc of lidocaine.
4.2.5 Infraorbital Nerve (Fig.4.15)
Both transcutaneous and intraoral approaches are possible for accessing the infraorbital nerve. The infraorbital nerve descends along the central line of the pupil and emerges from the infraorbital foramen, located about 1cm below the infraor­bital rim. Inject approximately 1cc of lidocaine at the infraorbital foramen.
Fig. 4.14 Blocking of external nasal branch of anterior ethmoidal nerve
Fig. 4.15 Blocking of infraorbital nerve
When using the intraoral approach, the needle is slowly inserted upward from above the second maxillary premolar.

4.3 Cannula or Needle Selection

105
4.2.6 Mental Nerve (Fig.4.16)
The mental nerve block is similar to the infraor­bital nerve block and can be administered via a transcutaneous or intraoral approach. The mental nerve emerges from the mental foramen, located slightly inside from the central line of the pupil and 2cm below the corner of the mouth. When using the transcutaneous approach, insert the needle toward the mental foramen and inject lidocaine. In the intraoral approach, insert the needle downward from the second mandibular premolar.
4.2.7 Greater Auricular Nerve (Fig.4.17)
The greater auricular nerve is not a branch of the trigeminal nerve but branches from C2 and C3, covering the anterior surface of the sternocleido­mastoid muscle (SCM). With the patient lying down and the head turned to expose the SCM, mark the anterior and posterior edges with a pen. The target point is about 6.5cm away from the external auditory canal along the midpoint of the two edges. Insert the needle and inject lidocaine not into the SCM itself but above the fascia, caus­ing the skin to puff up. The 6.5cm measurement can easily be determined using the practitioner’s ngers; typically, the distance from the metacar­pophalangeal joint to the end of the thumb is about 6.5cm.
4.3 Cannula or Needle Selection

4.3.1 Cannula

A. The tip of the cannula is blunt, which causes
less tissue damage. Smooth manipulation during the procedure can reduce the risk of
damaging nerves and vessels (Fig.4.18). B. Long cannulas can bend during progression. C. When encountering strong ligaments during
the procedure, resistance can be felt. This
allows for the identication of anatomical
structures without visual conrmation through
the resistance of the cannula. It is necessary to
be aware of major structures present in the
path of the cannula before the procedure. D. If the cannula stimulates a vessel or nerve
during the procedure, the patient may experi-
ence pain. Pain can occur even without direct
damage if vessels or nerves are stimulated. E. Aspiration tests do not always conrm intra-
vascular injection. Even if the cannula has
entered a vessel, blood may not be aspirated
during the test (Fig.4.19). F. The outlet from which the ller is expelled is
not at the end of the cannula but on the side.
Therefore, the ller is discharged from the
side, not the end of the cannula. To precisely
inject ller into the designed area, it is neces-
sary to align the position of the outlet with the
injection area and accurately place the end of
the cannula.

Fig. 4.19 Filler aspiration test with cannula
G. If the injection force is too strong, the con-
nection between the cannula and the syringe can burst. When connecting the cannula to the ller syringe, it should be securely fas­tened. If the syringe bursts repeatedly during the procedure after connecting a specic product to a specic cannula, choose a can­nula with a larger inner diameter to reduce the pressure inside the syringe and cannula.
H. Using a cannula with a larger diameter
decreases the likelihood of accidental intra­vascular injection.
I. While the tip of the cannula is blunt, the
actual outlet where the ller product is expelled can often be sharp due to manufac­turing precision (Fig.4.20).
During the process of moving the cannula back and forth, the sharp edges of the outlet can cause damage to vessels or nerves.
4 Basic Techniques forFiller Procedures
4.3.2 Characteristics ofNeedles
A. The tip is sharp, allowing easy progression
through tissue while potentially causing cuts or tears.
B. Compared to a cannula, there is a relatively
higher risk of damaging blood vessels or nerves.
C. The tip of the needle is made in a beveled
shape. The actual point of ller injection is not at the beveled tip but closer to the side of the syringe that is aligned with the bevel (Fig.4.21).
D. Before proceeding with the treatment, it is
crucial to verify the safe injection depth for each treatment area.
E. While it is very difcult to inject into the der-
mal layer with a cannula, using a needle makes it easier to inject directly into the dermis.
F. Before injecting the ller, aspiration can be
performed to check if the needle has pene­trated a blood vessel (Fig.4.22). Not seeing blood in the syringe during an aspiration test does not guarantee complete safety.
G. If too much force is applied during ller
injection, the ller can reux along the path created by the needle’s outer wall (Fig.4.23).
