The combination of straight facial features and a high nose bridge should be the ideal three-dimensional appearance in the minds of many beauty seekers. However, although many beauty seekers have such facial conditions, their overall faces are not as three-dimensional as imagined, but rather flat and sunken.

This phenomenon is actually a very common facial problem among Asians, which makes the face appear flat and unsightly. In addition, beauty seekers with a sunken mid-face are often more likely to suffer from premature sagging, deepening of tear troughs and nasolabial folds, and are more likely to age than their peers.

For more serious beauty seekers, there may be a problem of retraction of the chin, resulting in what we commonly call "shoehorn face" or "moon face", which greatly reduces the temperament.

Many beauty seekers find that their face shape tends to have this tendency, and they subconsciously feel that it is "too big to be perfect." Sagging caused by the development of teeth or jaws will indeed affect the shape of the face, but it is still different from a sunken face.

The depression in the middle of the face does not cause teeth bite problems. The height of the bridge of the nose of the beauty seeker is not low, but the face feels flat, and the side looks like it has been slapped. In fact, midfacial depression is caused by insufficient development of the midface and a flat or even sunken nose base.

From the picture below, we can clearly see the comparison between the mid-facial bones of normal people and the underdeveloped bones in the mid-face. The sunken mid-face will form a large gap with the frame bones.

Mid-face depression can be divided into two categories: one is nasal base depression, and the other is mid-face development problems.

Sunken nose base: Let’s first clarify the position of the nose base. The nose base is actually a relatively vague concept. It can be roughly defined as the external nose, which is the part of the nose that is connected to the upper lip when seen from the outside. basal part.

A sunken nose base will first reduce the advantages of the nose, making the nose look like the current face even if it is tall enough. At the same time, the mouth will appear to protrude outward, affecting the beauty of the face.

Solution: Commonly used methods of filling the nasal base are mainly divided into injection filling, prosthetic filling and autologous cartilage filling. Although injection fillers are easy to operate, they cannot achieve the best filling effect due to insufficient support and short-lasting effects.

Relatively speaking, prosthetic filling is suitable for most beauty seekers who need nasal base filling. Commonly used materials are expanded body and silicone. Among them, because the silicone material will not adhere and heal with human tissue after implantation, it is easy for the capsule to shift. Expanded materials are durable and stable due to their good biocompatibility and unique microporous structure.

It is important to note that if there is a mid-face depression caused by aging and sagging, you should choose nasal base filling carefully. Not only does this not relieve the symptoms, it can easily deepen the tear troughs under the eye bags. For this type of beauty seeker, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a face-to-face examination to confirm the specific plan.

Mid-face development problem: Mid-face development is basically an overdevelopment of the upper alveolar, resulting in depression on both sides and under the nose. This type of problem generally has obvious tear troughs, deep nasolabial grooves, and visual depressions in the middle and lower and upper parts of the face. Even if you don’t have dental problems, you will still have an eye-catching visual experience.

Solution: Generally, two-sided prostheses are used to cushion the step caused by the upper jaw, allowing it to form a certain slope to fill the depressed area more naturally.

However, if there are obvious and serious jaw development problems, orthognathic surgery is required to correct the retruded maxilla and malocclusion. A small number of patients who are seeking beauty treatment with less severe symptoms can also be improved by injecting appropriate amounts of filler as needed.
