Illustrated Manual of Injectable Fillers

N Sadick, P Carniol, D Roy, L Wiest, 288 pp., 200 color illus., 2011.

With the continuing increase in the number and type of products for soft-tissue augmentation (fillers), cosmetic practitioners will welcome this straightforward guide to how to select and use the right filler for a particular patient, with an awareness of the limitations and potential complications involved, to achieve safe, reliable, aesthetic results.

This manual presents and evaluates the uses, limitations, and compositions of available fillers involved in face and body rejuvenation.

Organized by anatomy, this resource discusses specific analysis, diagnosis, and treatment for each part of the body, including the upper face, midface, lower face, hands, torso, and lower extremities.

Topics include:

• analysis/diagnosis of facial/hand aging in terms of volume loss
• analysis/techniques for rejuvenation of the upper face (forehead, glabella, temple, and lateral brow complex)
• peri-orbital rejuvenation in treating the naso-jugal groove
• rejuvenation of the midface (the malar and submalar complexes, and nasolabial folds)
• volume loss in the lower face, primarily around the peri-oral complex, jawline, and neck
• treatment of the lips, peri-oral rhytides, chin, and jawline
• managing post-liposuction and post-traumatic defects of the torso and lower extremities
