Popis: Background: Aging is a natural process that causes skin texture changes, facial volume loss, and altered 3-dimensional topography of the underlying tissues.Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the malar reshaping strategy in Asian patients using bidirectional suspension-barbed threads.Methods: A prospective interventional study was conducted on Asian patients presenting with mild-to-moderate facial aging who were treated with the Definisse double-needle thread in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
