Injectable soft tissue fillers offer a non-surgical option for head and neck augmentation. Current materials have drawbacks, with autologous fat and microparticulate alloplasts showing the most promise for future use.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Biomaterials science

Background:

  • Non-surgical soft-tissue augmentation using injectable fillers is a desirable procedure for head and neck surgeons.
  • The ideal filler material should be easy to use, biocompatible, non-toxic, and durable.
  • Existing injectable filler materials have notable limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current injectable filler materials for soft-tissue augmentation.
  • To discuss potential future filler materials in head and neck surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing and emerging injectable soft-tissue filler materials.
  • Analysis of filler properties including usability, biocompatibility, toxicity, and longevity.

Main Results:
