Hyaluronic Acid for Mental and Mandibular Contour

Abstract

Nonsurgical dermatological procedures such as the use of hyaluronic acid (HA) are part of the therapeutic and preventive armamentarium against facial aging. Several intrinsic and extrinsic factors interfere with facial aging, many modifying the youthful anatomy of the face. In this process, alterations of bone, muscles, and face and skin fat together transform the standard face from convex to concave. The purpose of this chapter is to address the use of HA for rejuvenation and correction of imperfections.
