  • Title: Dermal fillers: facts and controversies.
    Author: Wollina U, Goldman A.
    Journal: Clin Dermatol; 2013; 31(6):731-6. PubMed ID: 24160278.
    Abstract:
    Dermal fillers have been used for decades in soft tissue augmentation. Currently, filler implementation is among the most common minimally invasive procedures for rejuvenation and body sculpturing. There is a broad variety of filler materials and products. Despite immense experience, a number of controversies in this topic exist. Some of these controversies are addressed in this review, for example, who should perform filler injections, the difference between permanent and nonpermanent fillers, the off-label use of liquid silicone, and the role of pain reduction. Implementation of guidelines and restriction of filler use by trained physicians can improve safety for patients.
