  • Injectable collagen derived from the patient's own tissue presents a novel approach.
  • Understanding potential complications and benefits is crucial for clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of autologous injectable collagen.
  • To review theoretical complications and issues associated with its use.
  • To assess the potential advantages and limitations of autologous collagen fillers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of autologous injectable collagen.
  • Analysis of theoretical complications and benefits.
  • Comparative assessment against existing filler materials.

Main Results:

  • Autologous injectable collagen may eliminate local tissue reactions and rejection.
  • The longevity of autologous injectable collagen has not been definitively established.
  • Current evidence does not demonstrate superior longevity compared to competitors.

Conclusions:

  • Autologous injectable collagen presents theoretical advantages in biocompatibility.
  • Further research is required to validate its clinical efficacy and long-term performance.
  • The established longevity of competing dermal fillers remains a benchmark.
