“…5,6 Other described adverse events are infection, nodules and foreign body granulomas, which are uncommon, but must be discussed with the patients before the treatment. 19 The most severe complication is the vascular compromise. [20][21][22][23] This is why the knowledge of anatomy is very important to apply the adequate technique.…”

The lower third is very important for the pleasant appearance of the face. A well-contoured jawline is desirable in men and women, giving a perception of beauty and youth. It is also key to sexual dimorphism, defining masculine and feminine characteristics. The nonsurgical rejuvenation and beautification of the lower third of the face is becoming more frequent. Injectable fillers can reshape the jawline, lift soft tissues, and improve facial proportions, effectively improving the appearance of the area.It is paramount to understand the facial anatomy and perform a good facial assessment in order to propose a proper aesthetic treatment plan. The aesthetic goal of the rejuvenation approach is to redefine the mandibular angle and line. In young patients, beautification can be achieved through correction of constitutional deficit or enhancement of the contour of the face, improving the facial shape. It is very important to possess knowledge of facial anatomy and of the aging process in order to deliver effective and safe results.In this article, we discuss the anatomy of the lower third of the face, facial assessment, aging process, and treatments of the chin, prejowls and mandibular line and angle with injectable fillers. The authors’ experience in the approach of this area is discussed.

Recent years have seen an increased interest in minimally invasive and noninvasive cosmetic surgery and facial aesthetics. There has been a concomitant surge in the focus on skin care, which, by nature, is minimally invasive, and an exponential growth in the popularity and availability of minimally invasive dermatologic procedures and products. This review seeks to provide an overview of the most commonly employed skin care modalities, such as their mechanisms, indications for use, advantages and disadvantages, and side effects. The authors aim to provide the audience with a fundamental understanding of the options currently available to cosmetic surgeons and practitioners. Topics include retinoids, chemical peels, skin-lightening agents, lasers, microneedling, topical antioxidants, and injectables.

“…Hypersensitivity reactions, while rare, are possible with injection of any foreign substance 3 . Other early events are often technique‐dependent and include contour irregularities due to incorrect planes of injection, early infections, cutaneous necrosis, and blindness 2,3,5 . Delayed reactions include nodules, granulomas, and biofilms 5 .…”

Background There are three non‐hyaluronic acid fillers available in the United States: Poly‐L‐lactic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and polymethylmethacrylate. Potential complications vary amongst the products. Aims To identify the most common and most concerning complications for the three FDA‐approved non‐hyaluronic acid fillers. Materials & Methods A comprehensive review of the literature was performed with key search words "complications," "non‐hyaluronic acid fillers," "poly‐l‐lactic acid," "calcium hydroxyapatite," and "polymethylmethacrylate." Results Similar to hyaluronic acid fillers, the most common adverse effects of non‐HA fillers are injection site reactions, and the most concerning events are cutaneous necrosis and blindness. Non‐HA fillers also have increased risk of papule, nodule, and granuloma formation. Discussion Papules and nodules arising early are likely to be technique‐dependent, while those arising later can be due to an immunologic foreign‐body response or infectious process. Histopathologic examination is required to diagnose a granuloma. Management of these complications requires intralesional and/or systemic corticosteroids, intralesional 5‐fluorouracil, surgical excision, and systemic antibiotics. Conclusion It is vital that injectors are experienced in proper injection technique. Even more importantly, injectors must have the knowledge to recognize and manage complications when they arise.
