Morphometric evaluation of the face contours/volumes. (a) Face contour lifting effect is measured as the distance (red dotted lines) between the upper (forehead) and the lower (mandible) part of the face. The measurement is taken in the following points: (1) external side of the right eye, (2) internal side of the right eye, (3) nose apex, (4) internal side of the left eye, and (5) external side of the left eye. (b) Cheekbones contour pumpling effect is measured as the distance between the line passing from the nose apex (1) and the cheekbones contour upper (2) and lower (3) part. The measurement is taken in 5 points (red arrows). Cheekbones contour lifting effect is measured as the distance between the line passing perpendicularly to the eyes (2) and the cheekbones contour. The measurement is taken in 3 points (green arrows). (c) Lips volumizing effect is measured by means of mathematic interpolation of the following parameters: (1) length of the lip line, (2) height of the upper lip, and (3) height of the lower lip. The applied formula is the cone equation.
