TABLE 2.
The statistical analysis of the patients' grades. Changes in skin laxity (SL), jowling (J), fat deposition (FD), and horizontal neck lines (HNL) values at one-month and one-year follow-up compared to baseline. Type III and Type IV groups had significant changes in SL, J, FD, and HNL values at one-month and one-year follow-up compared to baseline
