摘　　要：BACKGROUND With aging,four major facial retaining ligaments become elongated,leading to facial sagging and wrinkling.Even though synthetic fillers are popular,however,it cannot address the problems of soft tissue descent alone,and injection of these fillers requires knowledge of the injection technique including the selection of injection sites,the amount of filler,and the dosage used per injection site.CASE SUMMARY This report aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a nonsurgical retightening technique to lift and tighten the true ligaments of the face,to improve age-related skin sagging and wrinkling.We objectively quantified the aesthetic lifting effect of a nonsurgical facial retightening procedure that strategically injected high G’ fillers into the base of the true retaining ligaments of the face in two female patients.Facial images were recorded with a three-dimensional facial imaging system for comparison of the clinical outcome.The primary efficacy outcome was the change in facial anthropometric measurements obtained prior to and after injection.The patients were followed for 6 mo after the procedure.Skin retightening was observed,with an evident lift in the orbital,zygomatic,and mandibular regions,and the lifting effect was still observable at the 6-mo followup.Few mild adverse events,such as mild-to-moderate pain,tenderness,and itching,occurred during the 1 st week after the procedure.No adverse events were reported 1 mo post-procedure.CONCLUSION The results of this study demonstrated that our nonsurgical retightening procedure with strategically placed high G’ fillers achieved quantifiable aesthetic improvements in the orbital,zygomatic,and mandibular regions of two patients.Future research with a larger sample could provide a more in-depth evaluation and validation of the aesthetic improvements observed in this study.
