Dermal Fillers Patient Satisfaction

Withdrawn before enrolling

Conditions studied: Loss of Facial Fat

In brief

The face is arguably the most critical aesthetic unit of the body. As humans begin to age, numerous changes occur to the face. Changes include the formation of wrinkles, soft-tissue atrophy, gravitational descent resulting in sagging skin, loss of skin and muscle tone, and changes in bony architecture. These changes are potentiated in our population secondary to sun exposure and smoking. To combat the effects of aging on the face, a multitude of products and procedures exist to attempt to reverse the effects of sun damage and aging to achieve a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. There has been a shift from invasive procedures such as a facelift to noninvasive means using filling agents to restore lost contour deformities. The investigators hypothesis is that the use of dermal filling agents effectively delays the need for invasive procedures such as facelifts, and that patient satisfaction has increased with the evolution of recent dermal filling agents.
