We divided the study patients into two groups based on the year they were treated (2020 = 791; 2021 = 1,037). We did not include any new patients in the study. We found that 2.5% (n = 19) of the patients in the 2020 group experienced a lack of treatment effect and 5.2% (n = 40) experienced a decrease in treatment duration. We found that 2.1% (n = 22) of the patients in the 2021 group experienced a lack of treatment effect and 13.6% (n = 141) experienced a decrease in treatment duration. We also identified a sample population of patients who experienced a decrease in treatment duration incidents when receiving the COVID-19 vaccine after their last treatment. Our data show there is an apparent relationship between patients experiencing a lack of treatment efficacy and/or a decrease in treatment duration and having a Sars-COV-2 infection or receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 3","pages":"150-156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A nose that is proportionate to a person's face enhances facial balance and appearance. Traditional surgical rhinoplasty has been a common solution for addressing the flatter nasal dorsum and broader alar base and improving nasal prominence for individuals of Asian descent. Recently, nonsurgical rhinoplasty (NSR) has gained popularity because it offers a minimally invasive alternative to surgical rhinoplasty with reduced downtime. This review examines the application of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in NSR, particularly for Asian patients, highlighting techniques and considerations tailored to the unique nasal anatomy of this population. We discuss the historical context of filler use, the specific nasal characteristics of East Asian individuals, and the clinical techniques for successful filler application. Additionally, we detail five primary subcategories of HA filler-based NSR: nasal dorsum augmentation, glabella correction, nasal tip correction, columella correction, and nasolabial angle correction that emphasize the importance of using biphasic HA fillers with large particle sizes to mitigate risks such as swelling and lateral expansion. We identify the anatomical and procedural nuances critical for achieving optimal results. We suggest that future research in this area should focus on refining injection techniques and exploring new filler formulations to enhance the safety and efficacy of NSR in Asian populations.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 3","pages":"173-179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lower face rejuvenation and jawline contouring procedures can help prevent or reduce these changes. Traditional approaches for lower face rejuvenation and jawline contouring include surgical facelifts; however, using less invasive procedures to achieve these outcomes is becoming increasingly popular. This article introduces the L-Lift, a novel technique for jawline contouring in Southeast Asians. The L-Lift involves administering sequential calcium hydroxylapatite injections along the lower border of the mandible and subzygomatic arch (lateral cheek) depression. We present three cases that demonstrate its efficacy and safety. In all cases, the L-Lift effectively improved jawline contour and reduced jowls. The patients were highly satisfied, and the results were still evident when they presented for their follow-up appointments. The L-Lift provides subtle rejuvenation, does not lead to an overly masculine appearance, and aligns with regional aesthetic preferences. Notably, patients with severe facial sagging may require alternative interventions. Tailoring treatments to patient needs is crucial for obtaining optimal results.</p>","PeriodicalId":74460,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and aesthetic nursing","volume":"45 3","pages":"180-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144593129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
