Abstract
The field of facial aesthetic surgery is experiencing explosive growth in non invasive and minimally invasive procedures. Biosynthetic fillers such as Ca hydroxy apatite, Polycaprolactone and poly L Lactic acid are biodegradable fillers,and considered to be long lasting fillers. Poly L lactic acid , was the first one to be used in aesthetic surgery ,it is a polymer that provides soft tissues augmentation through stimulation of an inflammatory tissue response with subsequent collagen deposition. Ca hydroxy apatite and Polycaprolactone each consists of a gel carrier and The Ca hydroxy apatite spheres and Polycaprolactone spheres respectively that once injected in the subcutaneous space, the gel is slowly absorbed, what remains is a matrix of material which will take the characteristics of the cell that repopulate. When injected into the tissues space, fibroblast produces collagen.The author clinical experience with these three long lasting fillers will be presented.
