Dermal fillers are a cornerstone of the aesthetic treatments of the face. They have evolved over many aspects since their initial use. Facial fillers are not just used for anti-aging to restore volume, but are now also used for contouring, enhancing facial features, and changing the emotional attributes of the face. Newer techniques and approaches have been proposed for greater predictability of results and minimum complications. Newer composite filler materials and a resurgence of older materials have taken place with better understanding of the science behind them. With more use of facial fillers comes the reporting of newer complications with recommendations and guidelines to avoid them. A new perspective is seen in guidelines for their use in the COVID-19 pandemic. This article is a review of the insight into the latest perspectives of facial fillers for aesthetic indications.

The perfect aesthetic appearance of the mouth is expressed first and foremost with the help of a beautiful, pearly smile, which in its essence is synonymous with beauty as a universal image and which requires balanced proportions, while at the same time constantly awakening a state of pleasant feelings. The aesthetic components of a smile imply an insight into the essence of harmony and beauty of the face in order to highlight the geometric shape of the face as well as the various ethnic variations. Aesthetic dentistry is based on psychological knowledge as it is defined as a set of procedures for creating harmony between the facial features of the face and the mouth.

This article probes the explanatory value of the concept of celebrity capital in helping us to grasp the fate of celebrities and the cultural objects they produce when they move across to other fields. However, the article seeks to do more than this: with reference to the example of the singer-songwriter Bob Dylan’s incursion into the cinematic field, where he co-wrote Masked and Anonymous (2003), it contributes to debates by examining the significance of field-specific aesthetic criteria in helping us to gain insight into the aesthetic value of cultural objects. While Dylan’s celebrity capital gave him access to a number of ‘A-List’ celebrity actors, the aesthetic dimension of the film did not have a meaningful relation to the state of play in the cinematic field and so the film was, in the main, critically panned. So, Masked and Anonymous made Dylan’s boundary-crossing journey in reverse: it retreated to the field of popular music where its aesthetic properties were warmly received when considered in relation to Dylan’s wider body of work. Meanwhile, it was difficult for the harshest critics to ignore the aesthetic value that Dylan’s wider body of work had accumulated over time. There is, then, a temporal dimension of aesthetic appraisal that needs to be considered, even when reviews are considered at a particular historical conjuncture. In this analysis of field-specific aesthetic criteria, we see that boundary work is effective in diminishing the status of a cultural object ( Masked and Anonymous), but we also see that each critic has only limited sway in the face of the totality of judgements which emerges as a supra-individual voice, heterogeneous and full of contradictions, deriving from all those who make evaluative judgements in the field of culture.

Abstract. Facial appearance has long been understood to offer insight into a person’s health. To an experienced clinician, atypical facial features may signify the presence of an underlying rare or genetic disease. Clinicians use their knowledge of how disease affects facial appearance along with the patient’s physiological and behavioural traits, and their medical history, to determine a diagnosis. Specialist expertise and experience is needed to make a dysmorphological facial analysis. Key to this is accurately assessing how a face is significantly different in shape and/or growth compared to expected norms. Modern photogrammetric systems can acquire detailed 3D images of the face which can be used to conduct a facial analysis in software with greater precision than can be obtained in person. Measurements from 3D facial images are already used as an alternative to direct measurement using instruments such as tape measures, rulers, or callipers. However, the ability to take accurate measurements – whether virtual or not – presupposes the assessor’s facility to accurately place the endpoints of the measuring tool at the positions of standardised anatomical facial landmarks. In this paper, we formally introduce Cliniface – a free and open source application that uses a recently published highly precise method of detecting facial landmarks from 3D facial images by non-rigidly transforming an anthropometric mask (AM) to the target face. Inter-landmark measurements are then used to automatically identify facial traits that may be of clinical significance. Herein, we show how non-experts with minimal guidance can use Cliniface to extract facial anthropometrics from a 3D facial image at a level of accuracy comparable to an expert. We further show that Cliniface itself is able to extract the same measurements at a similar level of accuracy – completely automatically.

This paper offers a new disciplinary research agenda for a geography of the human face. Locating a research lacuna within the subfield of embodied geographies, the paper highlights existing interdisciplinary scholarship on the face, suggesting avenues through which geographers can both complement and advance such discussions. The overall proposal is to (re)consider the spatialities of the face via three routes: the political and biometric, the aesthetic and facial modification. The paper concludes by suggesting a disciplinary opportunity for a future facialised geography, providing valuable insight into this dynamic bodily site upon and through which the world is encountered and experienced.

Traditionally, dermal fillers have been administered to the face using a hypodermic needle. However, injecting using cannulas has become increasingly popular over the past decade, due to the changing goals of treatment, aims to improve patient experience and attemting to prevent complications. Many dermal filler products are now sold packaged with both a needle and a cannula in order to give the practitioner the choice of injection tool. It is therefore essential that the aesthetic practitioner is well educated on the topic of how to select the best injection tool for a procedure. This article aims to asses why we have seen an increase in the use of cannulas in administering this procedure, with the hope of helping the aesthetic practitioner to make the best decision regarding injection tools.

Continuity And Discontinuity

This article aims to explore the Shaykh-mur?d (disciple) or teacher-pupil relationship as portrayed in Western Sufi life writing in recent decades, observing elements of continuity and discontinuity with classical Sufism. Additionally, it traces the influence on the texts of certain developments in religiosity in contemporary Western societies, especially New Age understandings of religious authority. Studying these works will provide an insight into the diversity of expressions of contemporary Sufism, while shedding light on a phenomenon which seems to fly in the face of contemporary social and religious trends which deemphasize external authority and promote the authority of the self or individual autonomy.

Facial Images

The face is the feature which distinguishes a person. Facial appearance is vital for human recognition. It has certain features like forehead, skin, eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, mouth, lip, teeth etc which helps us, humans, to recognize a particular face from millions of faces even after a large span of time and despite large changes in their appearance due to ageing, expression, viewing conditions and distractions such as disfigurement of face, scars, beard or hair style. A face is not merely a set of facial features but is rather but is rather something meaningful in its form.In this paper, depending on the various facial features, a system is designed to recognize them. To reveal the outline of the face, eyes, ears, nose, teeth etc different edge detection techniques have been used. These features are extracted in the term of distance between important feature points. The feature set obtained is then normalized and are feed to artificial neural networks so as to train them for reorganization of facial images.

Abstract Background Facial features and measurements are utilized to analyze patients’ faces for various reasons, including surgical planning, scientific communications, patient-surgeon communications, and post-surgery evaluations. Objectives There are numerous descriptions regarding these features and measurements scattered throughout the literature and we did not encounter a current compilation of these parameters in the medical literature. Methods A narrative literature review of the published medical literature for facial measurements used for facial analysis in rhinoplasty was done through the electronic databases MEDLINE/PubMed and Google Scholar, along with a citation search. Results A total of 61 facial features were identified. 45 points (25 bilateral, 20 unilateral), five lines (three bilateral, two unilateral), eight planes, and three areas. A total of 122 measurements were identified: 48 distances (6 bilateral, 42 unilateral), 57 angles (13 bilateral, 44 unilateral), and 17 ratios. Supplemental Figures were created to depict all features and measurements using either a frontal, lateral or basal view of the face. Conclusions This paper provides the most comprehensive and current compilation of facial measurements to date. We believe this compilation will guide further developments (methodologies and software tools) for analyzing nasal structures and assessing the objective outcomes of facial surgeries, in particular rhinoplasty. Moreover, it will improve the communication as a reference for facial measurements of facial surface anthropometry, in particular rhinoplasty.
