Abstract
Background/Objectives: This retrospective observational study sought to determine the efficacy and safety of an innovative combined treatment protocol using guided Superficial Enhanced Fluid Fat Injection (SEFFI) and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) in facial rejuvenation. Methods: A total of 158 patients (149 females and 9 males) underwent the combined treatment of guided SEFFI and diluted/hyperdiluted CaHA. The study evaluated treatment outcomes at 30, 90, and 150 days post-treatment using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) and three-dimensional photogrammetric analysis. Results: The combined treatment demonstrated consistent enhancement in skin quality and facial volume across temporal, malar, zygomatic, and jawline regions. At 90 days post-treatment, substantial improvements were observed, with the GAIS scores reflecting significant enhancements in both skin quality and volume, which were sustained or slightly improved by 150 days. Minor complications, predominantly ecchymosis at the injection sites, resolved within a week, confirming the treatments' safety. Conclusions: The integration of guided SEFFI and CaHA resulted in significant improvements in skin quality and facial volume with minimal complications. Further research is recommended to consolidate these findings and explore long-term outcomes.
