Common issues in the frontal region: sagging and drooping cheek areas, baby fat or excessive fat deposits
Precautions for medical aesthetics: parotid gland boundary, course of facial blood vessels
Mobile Supermarket Adaptation Project:
l Baby fat or excessive fat: Preoperative ultrasound is used to expand the operative visual field, distinguish the boundary between superficial subcutaneous fat and parotid fat, identify deep vascular plexuses, and avoid massive hemorrhage and accidental parotid gland injury during liposuction and lipolysis. Postoperative follow-up ultrasound can serve as the primary examination method.
Masseter region (cheek above the mandibular angle)
Common midface concerns: enlarged masseter muscles, broad and square facial contours
Precautions for Medical Aesthetics: Masseter muscle thickness and boundaries, facial arteries and veins, course of facial nerve
Palm Super Adaptation Project:
l Masseter hypertrophy: Ultrasound-guided injection of slimming face needle into the planned area, real-time ultrasound monitoring of injection process, and regular ultrasound follow-up of postoperative changes.
l Square wide face: Osteotomy and bone grinding surgery for enlarged jawbone, with ultrasound monitoring of postoperative changes
Angular oris region and lips
Common Periorbital Concerns: Elimination of Oral Commissure Lines (Marionette Lines), Lip Contouring
Medical Aesthetic Precautions: Precise Localization of Aberrant Labial Artery Branches and Mental Nerves
Ultrasound Palm Probe Suitable Treatments:
l Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Preoperative ultrasound is used to hierarchically identify four layers including the skin, dermis, orbicularis oris muscle and submucosal glands; it accurately locates aberrant branches of the labial artery, facilitating botulinum toxin injection to relax the depressor anguli oris muscle or hyaluronic acid filling of grooves. Postoperative ultrasound assessment serves as the primary examination modality.
Autologous fat grafting correction for asymmetric lips: Ultrasound measures the bilateral thickness of the orbicularis oris muscle and subcutaneous spaces, precisely calculating the volume difference for grafting, avoiding blood vessels and glands, and reducing postoperative asymmetry and nodule formation.
