The 7-point Shape and The 9-point Shape: An Innovative Nonsurgical Approach to Improve the Facial Shape

Abstract Treatment with injectable fillers is considered to be intrinsically associated with the understanding of facial anatomy and appropriate techniques. However, a more comprehensive understanding of facial structure is critical to improving facial shape. This article presents two Nonsurgical approaches developed from the MD Codes system denominated “The 7-point Shape” and “The 9-point Shape.” Both techniques were designed to help create a more feminine and masculine look, respectively. The aim is to provide foundation for the midface (cheek) and contour for the lower face (chin and jawline) and indirectly improve the facial signs that patients usually focus on when looking for aesthetic treatment (lines, folds, jowls, double chin, etc.). The MD Codes platform aims to deliver an alternative to surgery with injectables. The 7-point Shape and The 9-point Shape may provide visible results immediately after treatment.
