Abstract
Soft tissue augmentation has a history spanning over a century, but the field has seen a renaissance over the past two decades, with an explosion of available agents and an evolution of techniques. With advances in medicine and changes in lifestyle, people are leading longer, more active lives. With a healthier aging population, there has been a desire to maintain or recreate a youthful appearance.
