Injectable filler materials play
an increasingly important part in Aesthetic Medicine.
They are used for the correction of mimic wrinkles as
well as compensation for age or disease related volume
deficiencies. A great variety of biodegradable and non
biodegradable fillers are currently used in Europe. As
these products are defined not as drugs but as medical
products only very few clinical trials exist that give
sufficient information on the efficacy and safety.
The aim of the study is to register
adverse events to these injectable filler materials in
the German-speaking areas of Europe. This study is ongoing
and expected to give safety profiles for the individual
biodegradable and non biodegradable materials.
