Summary A 46‐year‐old Asian women was treated with a next‐generation bioresorbable biostimulatory polycaprolactone ( PCL )‐based dermal filler to restore facial volume loss. Before‐ and after (12 weeks of follow‐up)‐treatment photographs were analyzed and compared. In addition, before‐ and after‐treatment contour images were recorded using the Vectra ® XT 3D imaging system (Canfield Scientific, Inc.). Improvement of facial volume in multiple tissue layers was observed at 4 and 12 weeks of follow‐up. Total facial rejuvenation to correct descending soft tissue with a PCL ‐based dermal filler was achieved through volume restoration in multiple tissue layers of the face.
