Abstrakt: Background: Understanding the degree of facial mobility upon postural changes is of great clinical relevance especially if facial assessment, facial measurements and/or facial markings are done in an upright position, but facial procedures are performed in a supine position.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate regional facial skin displacement and facial volume changes in individuals between upright and supine positions.
Methods: This multi-center study analyzed a total of 175 study participants with a mean age of 35.0 (10.2) years and a mean body mass index of 24.71 (3.5) kg/m 2 . 3D surface scanning technology with automated registration and alignment was utilized, and multivariate analyses were performed with adjustment for age, gender, body mass index, facial skin sagging and laxity.
Results: The medial face displaced less than the lateral face in both cranial (0.88 mm) and in lateral (0.76 mm) directions, and the lower face displaced more than the middle face in both cranial (1.17 mm) and lateral directions (1.37 mm). Additionally, the medial face lost, on average, 3.00cc whereas the lateral face increased by 5.86cc in volume; the middle face increased by 2.95cc, whereas the lower face decreased by 0.98cc in volume. All p < 0.001.
Conclusion: Practitioners should be mindful that there is a statistically significant change in facial soft tissues between the upright and supine positions and that the magnitude of the change does not necessarily reflect on the aging process alone but is a multi-factorial process which should be individualized for each patient's needs.
