Abstract

Often considered first-line treatment for aging skin, soft tissue fillers are used alone or in combination with other rejuvenation procedures to correct wrinkles, improve facial contours, and restore volume naturally lost as fat diminishes from the face, particularly around the eyes and cheeks. Until recently, it was believed that sagging skin was due to gravity, but new evidence points to the atrophy of subcutaneous soft tissues – allowing unsupported skin to fall into wrinkles and folds – as the cause and suggests that a redistribution of fat or volume replacement may restore vitality [2, 5, 14, 16–18].
