Filler - translated from English as “filler”. The word “filler” has become quite common among specialists in the field of aesthetic medicine. But it would be more correct to use the term “implant,” since in the nomenclature of medical products they are called precisely “injection implants.” And the process of using injection implants, more common in everyday life as “contour and volumetric plastic surgery,” is more appropriately called “soft tissue augmentation” - this is how the scientific medical literature defines a set of injection techniques aimed at restoring or increasing the volume of facial tissue, eliminating wrinkles and etc.
Aesthetic medicine has in its arsenal a large selection of therapeutic methods for rejuvenation and beauty of various areas of the face and body. Various injection implants and grafts are becoming widespread in modern plastic surgery and cosmetology. Every year we are witnessing the improvement of the filling preparations themselves and the methods of their administration. For example, the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers is becoming a routine procedure.
