Simple procedure to evaluate mid‐face sagging: A pilot study from Taiwan

An easy and objective way to evaluate mid‐face sagging is marking straight lines between the nasal alar and the mandibular angle, one in the supine and the other in an upright position. The maximal distance between the two lines drawn is measured. Statistic analyses shows that this maximum distance...

Description
Summary:An easy and objective way to evaluate mid‐face sagging is marking straight lines between the nasal alar and the mandibular angle, one in the supine and the other in an upright position. The maximal distance between the two lines drawn is measured. Statistic analyses shows that this maximum distance demonstrates positive correlation with age and body mass index that reflects the level of mid‐face sagging. This simple method may be utilised to evaluate the effect of anti‐ageing treatment on the face in the context of mid‐face sagging.
