Abstract :

The past 5 years has seen a shift in the focus of how we use dermal fillers in aesthetic medicine. Approximately 10-15 years ago, the field of aesthetic medicine introduced a class of products â�?�? dermal fillers, that were used in lieu of surgery to address some of the asethetic concerns of our patients. Our goals then were to follow the FDA labelling recommendations and â�?�?fill holesâ�?. We filled nasolabial folds, oral commissures and lips and in doing so, we were able to gain some level of patient satisfaction. But in the last 5-10, our awareness and knowledge of facial aging has expanded. During the same time period there has been a plethora of aging celebrity transformations that have both facinated and frightened all of us. So much so, that the next question I am asked after â�?�?Will this hurtâ�? is â�?�? You are not going to make me look like celebrity x (the most recent one in the news) are you?â�? My presentation will review facial aging from infancy to old age, including gender differences. Then, using this information, I will define what I believe are the â�?�?newâ�? general principals for the application of dermal fillers. These are principals that I have found useful in my practice, and that I have develped through many years and many injection treatments. The objective is to outline a systematic method to recreate youth and beauty for our patients rather than hideous caricature of their former selves.
