Determining the appropriate volume of injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) for facial rejuvenation is a crucial step in achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes. This assessment depends on several factors, including the extent of volume loss, the individual’s desired level of correction, and the specific areas being treated. For example, restoring volume in the temples may require a different quantity than addressing hollowness in the cheeks.
Accurate assessment of required filler volume contributes significantly to patient satisfaction and safety. It allows practitioners to develop a tailored treatment plan, minimizing the risk of overcorrection or undercorrection, and ensuring a natural-looking result. Historically, facial rejuvenation relied on surgical interventions. The advent of injectable fillers like PLLA has offered a less invasive alternative, making careful volume determination even more critical in this evolving landscape.
