Experimental and numerical study on the mechanical behavior of the superficial layers of the face


Background/purpose: This paper reports a study on the quasi-static mechanical response of the superficial soft tissue of the face, in particular the skin and the superficial muscoloaponeurotic system (SMAS) plus the superficial fat. The mechanical characterization of soft tissues represents one of the main uncertainties of previously developed numerical models for face simulation.


Methods: Two instruments based on the suction method were used for collecting experimental data: the Cutometer® (2 mm probe aperture diameter) and the Aspiration device (8 mm). Tests were performed in five different regions of the face (jaw, ...
