Abstract

A method of reshaping a body part including the step of injecting a quantity of filler material into a subperiosteal plane of a facial region thereby depositing a body of filler between the periosteum and bone of the facial region. The method includes the step of piercing a periosteum of the facial region with a syringe. The method includes the step of drawing backwards a plunger of the syringe to ascertain whether a tip of a needle of the syringe is within a blood vessel. The filler may include a hyaluronic acid gel. The method of reshaping a body part includes the step of applying pressure to the body of filler to adjust a shape of the body of filler. The step of injecting is repeated in the following order of priority: first the temporal line of fusion, second the zygoma, third the malar, and fourth the jaw line.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of reshaping a body part, comprising the step of injecting a quantity of filler material into a subperiosteal plane of the body part thereby depositing a body of filler between a periosteum and bone of the body part. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of piercing a periosteum of the body part with a syringe. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of drawings backwards a plunger of the syringe to ascertain whether a tip of a needle of the syringe is within a blood vessel. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the filler includes a hyaluronic acid gel. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of applying pressure to the body of filler to adjust a shape of the body of filler. 
     
     
         6 . A method of reshaping a face, comprising the step of injecting a quantity of filler material into a subperiosteal plane of a facial region thereby depositing a body of filler between the periosteum and bone of the facial region. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the step of piercing a periosteum of the facial region with a syringe. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the step of drawings backwards a plunger of the syringe to ascertain whether a tip of a needle of the syringe is within a blood vessel. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the filler includes a hyaluronic acid gel. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the step of applying pressure to the body of filler to adjust a shape of the body of filler. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein a facial region is selected from the group of facial regions consisting of: the temporal line of fusion, the zygoma, the malar, and the jaw line. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the step of injecting is repeated in the following order of priority: first the temporal line of fusion, second the zygoma, third the malar, and fourth the jaw line. 
     
     
         13 . A method of reshaping a face, comprising the step of injecting a quantity of filler material into a subperiosteal plane of a facial region thereby depositing a body of filler between the periosteum and bone of the facial region. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , further comprising the step of piercing a periosteum of the facial region with a syringe. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising the step of drawings backwards a plunger of the syringe to ascertain whether a tip of a needle of the syringe is within a blood vessel. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the filler includes a hyaluronic acid gel. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising the step of applying pressure to the body of filler to adjust a shape of the body of filler. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein a facial region is selected from the group of facial regions consisting of: the temporal line of fusion, the zygoma, the malar, and the jaw line. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the step of injecting is repeated in the following order of priority: first the temporal line of fusion, second the zygoma, third the malar, and fourth the jaw line. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising the step of injecting a quantity of filler material subdermally to a facial region not having a bone backing.
