Evaluation of aging changes in the superficial fat compartments of the midface: A computed tomography study
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology Jun 20, 2021
Guduk SS, Cenkerı HC, Cıcek ED, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for examining volumetric and dimensional changes in superficial midfacial fat tissue retrospectively in patients who underwent a repeated computed tomography (CT).In total, 262 patients (mean age, 46 years; median elapsed time between two CT imagings, 56 months) were involved. When compared with the initial CT findings, the total volume of superficial cheek fat (SCF) and the inferior compartment were significantly increased. At the follow-up, the height of the superficial fat layer had significantly increased. There are significant volume and dimensional changes in SCF with aging. As a result, superficial fat tissue should be considered for cosmetic treatment enhancement.
