Dr. Face: Dermal Fillers for Facial VolumeRestoration—A Comprehensive Review ofMaterials, Techniques, and Safety Profiles

Facial volume loss is a hallmark of aging, significantly influencing aesthetic appearance and self-perception. Dermal fillers have emerged as a popular minimally invasive solution to restore this lost volume and rejuvenate facial contours. This literature review provides a comprehensive overview of dermal fillers for facial volume restoration, focusing on materials, injection techniques, and safety profiles. The review synthesizes findings from peer-reviewed scientific literature published between 2015 and 2025, identified through a systematic search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. Key materials discussed include hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and autologous fat grafting. Injection techniques and anatomical considerations for optimal outcomes are explored, alongside efficacy and safety profiles, including common and rare adverse events. The increasing trend of combination therapies involving dermal fillers and other aesthetic modalities, such as botulinum toxin, is examined. Evidence suggests that dermal fillers are effective with favorable safety profiles when administered by trained professionals.
