Which substances are used as filler?

We have numerous options for the tissue planes and purposes we will use... The most commonly used filler material is hyaluronic acid, which is the main extracellular component of our connective tissue. This substance, which is a carbohydrate chain (glycosaminoglycan), provides volume in the skin and subcutaneous tissue by retaining water. It plays an important role in cellular functions, cell renewal, and skin repair. Hyaluronic acid has different formulations developed specifically for cosmetic applications. There are very soft forms for lips, under eyes, and fine wrinkles, as well as firm and lifting forms, to be applied on the bone. Additionally, the enzyme "hyaluronidase" that breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers can be used in necessary situations, rapidly reversing the procedure and ensuring the injector's confidence.

Injectable fillers developed from calcium hydroxylapatite and various bio-compatible polymers, as well as autologous fillers prepared from a person's fat or blood, can also be used.
