Review Quotes: "This book is one of few references on fillers for aesthetic enhancement that discusses off-label uses. It also provides excellent discussions on treating complications, especially the dreaded vascular necrosis. This fifth edition is a welcome update, as new injection techniques and indications have arisen since the previous version was published in 2018." -(c)Doody's Review Service, 2023, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice) Doody's Score: 4 Stars!
