Abstract

Soft-tissue augmentation is an ancient science and dates back more than 100 years in time, when autologous fat grafts were used to restore facial volume defects. Paraffin was also used for some time but it caused foreign body reactions frequently, hence was stopped. Liquid silicone as filler was used since 1950 until 1982, when FDA temporarily banned its use. Injectable bovine collagen became available after the 1980. Subsequently, the market was flooded with fillers like the semi-permanent hyaluronic acid (HA) derivatives, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLA). Some longer lasting, so called ‘permanent fillers’ such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres which were highly purified forms of liquid silicone and hydrogel polymers were also launched. While the search for ideal filler continues, a number of new materials have been introduced, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. This chapter deals with nonhyaluronic acid fillers.
