Injectable fillers in Aesthetic Medicine

摘要

Over the years, in contrast to the United States, in most countries in Europe and South America many injectable fillers agents have been promulgated to cosmetically improve soft-tissue defects and deficiencies. Some of these agents, such as adulterated silicones and impure paraffines, frequently resulted in cosmetic disasters. Doing to the great variety and availability of distributed product for novices it can be quite difficult to decide which filler to use for which indications. However for a substance or device to be amenable for soft-tissue augmentation by the general medical community, it must meet certain criteria.
