Indication-Specific Approach to Filler Injections

Abstract

Even though facial aging starts at the surface by showing signs of skin aging, the changes go far beyond the skin: it finally involves all other facial structures such as the muscles, retaining ligaments, fat pads and the bony structures.

But over time, the facial fat pads get redistributed, they do atrophy and get separated [1-6].

All this results in deflation, volume loss and sagging in a three-dimensional way [6,8]. Typical Indications for Filler Treatments
