The use of fillers for treatment of rhytids and facial volume enlargement has grown considerably in recent years. The various filler types used currently can be classified into temporary, semi-permanent (permanence of at least 18 months in the tissue) and permanent. Fillers can also be classified according to their composition (collagen, hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, hydroxyapatite). Moreover, the hyaluronic acid may be of synthetic or animal origin. Hyaluronic acid (temporary resorbable filler) has been one of the most frequently used substances. There is no ideal, pure and commercially available substance that is free of side effects. This study evaluates the side effects of using hyaluronic acid-based fillers in order to enable early diagnosis and treatment, and reduce morbidity and sequelae among patients.
