A Novel Method for Facial Beautification Using 3 Landmark Points: Oval CAM Technique

Patrícia Leite, Matheus Rodrigues

Facial fillers represent one of the most widely performed minimally invasive facial rejuvenation and beautification treatments. Although both concepts rejuvenation and beautification are different, they merge in several aspects when we consider facial beauty as a broader concept, encompassing form and youthfulness. Three regions of the face are mainly involved in the perception of facial beauty in both men and women: The malar region, the jawline, and the chin.

The present study presents a marking technique for facial filling of the three main facial promontories, which play a crucial role in beautification. Based on anatomical parameters, a marking method has been developed that guides and directs the injector for a homogeneous fill. The marking technique was named OVAL CAM^® since it is specifically intended for marking the following regions: C: Chin, A: Jaw Angle, M: Malar. The OVAL CAM^® technique is readily reproducible by younger and more experienced injectors, as it is based on fixed cephalometric points and anatomical landmarks. The marking technique is easy to perform, considering the well-established anatomical landmarks and from this the filling can be performed quickly and safely. The method enables elegant and natural results.
