Treatment of Facial Furrows and Rhytides
Arnold William Klein, MD, Patricia Wexler, MD, Alastair Carruthers, FRCPC, and Jean Carruthers, FRCSC
First Paragraph: Historically, many substances have been used to correct facial soft tissue defects and deficiencies associated with aging. Some, such as adulterated silicones and impure paraffins, often produced cosmetic disasters. Other agents, such as pure injectable-grade liquid silicone, although extraordinarily useful in the skilled hands of certain physicians, have been declared illegal by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although there certainly is a consensus on the characteristics of the ideal agent to correct soft tissue deficiencies, unfortunately this product does not exist. Nevertheless, we presently have some excellent substances to fill the void. No one of the available agents is applicable to all defects. On the contrary, the depth and type of defect determine the substance to be used.
