Filler Evolution VOLUMIZING INJECTIONS AND ADVANCED TECHNIQUES FOR FACIAL REJUVENATION

The procedures of facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid-based filler
have become, over the years, constantly more complex and elaborate.

The introduction of new types of fillers with innovative rheological
characteristics has noticeably broadened treatment options. Implant
techniques using needles or cannulas with a higher and higher and safer
performance allows the treatment of anatomical areas that years ago were
not even taken into consideration. The treatment of these so-called
“difficult” and “dangerous” zones has allowed for improvement in the
outcome of facial rejuvenation overall.

A fundamental role in the evolution of filler use can be found in our
greater knowledge of the anatomical bases that underlie the aging
processes. Understanding the anatomy of the tissues present in the face
(skin, fat compartments, ligaments and bones), and their modifications
correlated with aging, allows a more purposeful and effective approach
able to selectively correct the main flaws.

With this book I hope to make a contribution to summarizing the viable
techniques with hyaluronic acid filler to obtain the best facial
rejuvenation. There are chapters dedicated to treatments considered
basic along with chapters where the most advanced inoculation techniques
are described. We go from the treatment of simple surface skin wrinkles
to creases in the face such as the periocular wrinkles, the nasolabial
and labiomental folds to treatment of the “difficult” zones such as the
temples, midface, nose, the lower part of the face, etc., to give the
most complete and exhaustive description possible of the principal
techniques available.

Seeing film clips available online allows viewing the procedures
described in the text, giving further understanding and insight into the
injection procedures.
