In the innovative field of cosmetic dermatology, the range of products and methods available to patients is expanding all the time. Prominent among these are facial fillers, which, when injected into and beneath the skin, help alleviate wrinkles and improve smoothness. However, the many fillers on offer have varying characteristics and effects, and practitioners must be properly trained in order to administer them safely and successfully.
Injectable Fillers offers those performing these popular procedures an in-depth and far-reaching survey of current best practices, with a strong emphasis on safety. Covering everything from the science behind facial fillers to their appropriate means of application, the book places each product in context, demonstrating the pros and cons of the expanding range of hyaluronic acids and calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, and exploring injectable submental fat reduction with sodium deoxycholate. This second edition broadens the scope of discussion to also include chin, mandible, temple, nose, brow, and forehead injections, as well as the use of cannulas as an alternative to needles.

Reviews for Injectable Fillers: Facial Shaping and Contouring
Boeckx has a deep familiarity with all of the (very wide-ranging)material he presents, and has done original and important work inseveral of these areas. He is a lucid and engaging expositor, andis highly qualified in every respect to undertake an enterprise ofthis nature ... [He] brings together the right topics, someright at the edge or even at the horizons of research. If I wereteaching undergraduate or graduate courses in these areas, I cannotthink of a competing text that I would prefer. --Noam Chomsky
