How Does Histology Inform the Use of Fillers and Implants?
Fillers and implants are commonly used in cosmetic surgery to enhance volume and contour. Histological knowledge helps in selecting biocompatible materials that integrate well with the native tissue. For instance, hyaluronic acid fillers are preferred for their natural occurrence in the skin and minimal inflammatory response. Similarly, silicone implants are chosen for their stability and low tendency to cause adverse reactions.
