THE IMPORTANCE OF FACIAL ASSESSMENT AND THE USE OF DERMAL FILLERS IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE

Resumo

Introduction: Facial beauty is a multifaceted concept, influenced by physical characteristics such as proportion and symmetry, which are fundamental in aesthetic perception. Objective: This study aims to investigate the importance of facial assessment, including the measurement of facial structures and the analysis of facial lines, in the practice of aesthetic medicine. Methodology: The methodology is based on a comprehensive literature review on techniques of faciometry and facial line analysis, which allow for the identification of deviations and asymmetries often imperceptible to the naked eye. Theoretical Framework: This section explores facial aging, its cellular and molecular mechanisms, and the variations in aesthetic perception among different age groups, genders, and ethnicities. The findings indicate that the use of dermal fillers, classified as permanent and non-permanent, is a growing practice in aesthetic medicine, with evident benefits in facial harmonization. However, these procedures are not without risks, particularly in areas such as the nasal region, where severe ocular complications can occur. Conclusion: It is concluded that a detailed evaluation of facial proportions and symmetry, combined with a deep understanding of the patient's individual characteristics, is essential for success in aesthetic procedures, promoting a more harmonious and safer aesthetic outcome.
