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