Obese faces: EBD technology for oval correction
目标: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of energy-based device (EBD) technologies in improving facial contour and redefining the oval shape in patients with obesity-related facial adiposity.
介绍: Facial aesthetics in obese patients are often characterized by excess subcutaneous fat, reduced definition of the jawline, and blunting of the cervicomental angle. These changes contribute to loss of the youthful facial oval and overall contour irregularities. Traditional surgical approaches such as liposuction and lifting procedures may not be suitable or desired by all patients due to invasiveness and downtime. Energy-based devices, including radiofrequency, ultrasound, and laser technologies, offer non-invasive alternatives aimed at fat reduction, skin tightening, and collagen remodeling. H

结果: EBD technologies demonstrated measurable improvements in facial contour, including enhanced jawline definition and partial restoration of the facial oval. Mechanisms included adipocyte disruption, neocollagenesis, and dermal tightening. Radiofrequency and high-intensity focused ultrasound were particularly effective in targeting submental and lower face adiposity while improving skin laxity. Patients undergoing combination protocols showed greater improvement compared to single-modality treatments. Outcomes were influenced by baseline adiposity and skin quality. Adverse effects were minimal an
总结: Energy-based devices represent a safe and effective non-invasive option for facial oval correction in obese patients, particularly when addressing mild-to-moderate adiposity and skin laxity. A multimodal and individualized approach enhances treatment outcomes. Further studies are needed to establish standardized protocols and to evaluate long-term efficacy in this patient population.
