Complications of Injectable Soft Tissue Filler

Complications of Injectable Soft Tissue Filler

Soft tissue fillers for soft tissue augmentation and the correction of wrinkles have been used widely in recent years. Various kinds of products have been developing and the demand for these products is growing more and more rapidly. The popularity of soft tissue fillers was based on the safety profile, easy application and low complications rate [1]. As the use of fillers increases, many compl...

Complications from injectable polyacrylamide gel, a new nonbiodegradable soft tissue filler.

BACKGROUND Polyacrylamide gels, containing a hydrogel composed of polyacrylamide and water, are used for soft tissue augmentation and contour correction. There are no reports of significant complications after injection of this material into the face. OBJECTIVE We report an inflammatory reaction after injection of polyacrylamide gels for zygomatic facial augmentation. METHODS A retrospectiv...

Inflammatory granuloma caused by injectable soft tissue filler (Artecoll)

Artecoll (Artes Medical Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) has recently been developed as a permanent synthetic cosmetic filler. We experienced an inflammatory granuloma resulting from a previous injection of Artecoll at the upper lip, which was regarded as a rare side effect of this filler. A 50-year-old female patient complained of swelling, dull pain, and heat in the right upper nasolabial fold area,...

Tissue Engineering of Injectable Soft tissue Filler: Using Adipose Stem Cells and Micronized Acellular Dermal Matrix

In this study of a developed soft tissue filler, adipose tissue equivalents were constructed using adipose stem cells (ASCs) and micronized acellular dermal matrix (Alloderm). After labeling cultured human ASCs with fluorescent green protein and attaching them to micronized Alloderm (5 x 10(5) cells/1 mg), ASC-Alloderm complexes were cultured in adipogenic differentiation media for 14 days and ...
