Unexpected Bone Resorption in Mentum Induced by the Soft-Tissue Filler Hyaluronic Acid: A Preliminary Retrospective Cohort Study of Asian Patients - PubMed
Therapeutic, III.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
August issue of @prsjournal has a really interesting study with some pretty impressive images. Long story short: Even a syringe or two of fillers placed for chin augmentation can cause bone resorption. Researchers found, unsurprisingly, that larger volumes injected caused more significant resorptions, as did multiple rounds in shorter time intervals. Possible explanations included that pre-periosteal doses activated osteoclasts via increased pressure. Luckily, subjects apparently *noticed* no changes. But, I think this serves as a nice little reminder that there are actually consequences to every treatment we undertake. This is just one of them. (Also: migration, fibrosis, edema, nodules, translucency, heaviness, unnatural movement, etc)
