BACKGROUND Hyaluronic acid filler has been documented in the treatment of atrophic depressed acne scars relatively frequently in the literature but rarely in chronic depressed traumatic atrophic facial scars. METHODS This case report discusses the use of hyaluronic acid fillers in the correction of a post-traumatic facial atrophic scar on the right cheek. RESULTS The right cheek scar was su...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery has published numerous conference proceedings and supplements on dermal injectables and soft-tissue dermal fillers, including botulinum toxin,1,2 semipermanent and permanent dermal and subdermal fillers,3,4 temporary dermal and soft-tissue fillers,5 and multimodality combination injectables for facial rejuvenation.6 Although these supplements were authored by ...

We investigated developmental changes during the transition from one-word to two-word production, focusing on strategies to lengthen utterances phonologically and to control utterances suprasegmentally. We hypothesized that there is a period of reorganization at the onset of word combinations indicated by decreases in both filler syllables (Fillers) and final syllable lengthening (FSL). The dat...

The use of injectable fillers enables facial sculpting through treatment of volume depletion and modeling of facial contours. Injectable fillers are among the most frequently performed minimally invasive cosmetic procedures.However, treatment of the lower third of the face can be challenging and requires expertise in facial anatomy. In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review of...

INTRODUCTION: Soft tissue losses from aging, trauma, or congenital malformation affect millions of people each year. Injectable fillers are effective in providing soft tissue volumization for facial rejuvenation and reconstruction. The majority of dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid (HA) and rely on high concentrations of HA to provide adequate viscosity and temporary persistence. This ...

BACKGROUND Given the recent boom of the cosmetic industry, there is a wealth of new products available to patients and physicians, including soft-tissue fillers. Bio-Alcamid polyacrylamide gel (Polymekon, Milan, Italy) is a filler that has potential to cause adverse reactions. OBSERVATIONS Two patients who had previously been treated with Bio-Alcamid outside of the United States presented wit...

Fillers are playing an increasing role in dermatology practice, complementing the use of laser and other procedures used in skin rejuvenation. Prior to the injection of any filler, the patient should be counseled about what to expect in terms of any discomfort that may occur during or after injection, possible side effects, the results that he or she can expect, and the likely durability of cor...

Hesitations are prevalent in spontaneous speech and believed to be relevant to on-line speech planning. We tested the complexity hypothesis that speakers are more likely to need to suspend speaking, the more complex the constituent, by examining ratios of filled pauses (fillers) at clause and case boundaries with following constituents of different degrees of complexity, using ì the Corpus of s...

The paper presents the results of studying spectra thermally stimulated depolarization high-pressure polyethylene modified with fillers biocomposites biological origin - fish bone and scales. It was found that stability surface density space charges can be controlled by varying volumetric content fillers. optimal values bio-fillers contribute to investigated have been determined.

Multipole expansions depend on the coordinate system, so that coefficients of multipole moments can be set equal to zero by an appropriate choice of coordinates. Therefore, it is meaningless to say that a physical system has a nonvanishing quadrupole moment, say, without specifying which coordinate system is used. (Except if this moment is the lowest non-vanishing one.) This result is demonstra...
