Augmentation Fillers

Filler techniques are the most widely used surgical procedures in cosmetic surgery, as they are the best method of reducing wrinkles long-term. For years, dermatologists have known that water-binding soft-tissue fillers can replace the loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid from the skin. Because filler formulas and application techniques are constantly updated and reevaluated, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons need a quick reference on the subject. This new text, edited by world-renowned dermatologist Dr Neil S. Sadick, covers all the main aspects of soft-tissue filler techniques. Subjects covered include choosing and applying fillers, short-, intermediate-, and long-acting fillers, combination approaches, anesthetic considerations, equipment and patient positioning, operative procedures, potential complications, and postoperative evaluation.
