Abstract

In contrast to the USA, in most countries in Europe and South America, a great variety of injectable fillers are available. Therefore, not only for novices but also for experienced users it can sometimes be quite difficult to decide which filler to use. This chapter will give a brief overview on some of the most commonly used present and past injectable fillers. The selection of products reflects the interest of the authors and might appear arbitrary to someone familiar with other fillers.
