Abstract

Objective: To explore the mechanism of extracorporeal shockwave therapy in the treatment of facial overfilling syndrome. Methods: Two cases of facial overfilling syndrome were selected as the research objects to compare their treatment effects and occurrence of adverse reactions. Results: After appropriate treatment, significant improvement in skin laxity was observed in two patients, manifested by a decreasing trend in the skin laxity score scale, with an average reduction of 1.75 levels. Simultaneously, during Duchenne's smiles, there was a noticeable elevation in the position of their oral commissures. These improvements not only enhanced the facial aesthetics of the patients but also boosted their confidence and comfort. Conclusion: Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has significant advantages and broad prospects in the treatment of facial overfilling syndrome. It can effectively alleviate pain, promote tissue recovery and reshaping, and demonstrate long-term therapeutic effects, thus improving patients' quality of life.
