Semin Cutan Med Surg. 2012 Jun;31(2):78-87. doi: 10.1016/j.sder.2012.03.004.

Abstract

Modern medical use of injectable soft-tissue augmentation fillers has evolved from the introduction of bovine collage implants to an array of synthesized materials in the current domestic and foreign markets. The concept of augmentation has moved from simple lines, scars, and wrinkles to revolumizing the aging face. A brief overview of the past, present, and future injectable fillers is presented.
