A practical guide to selecting facial fillers.

[BACKGROUND] Dermal fillers have created a multi-billion-dollar industry. They are the second most popular form of injectable, as they primarily address volume loss, augmentation, and provide immediate results. The most popular form includes hyaluronic acid-based fillers, however, alternatives exist.

[OBJECTIVE] To create clinical charts to help with filler selection, injection, and addressing common complications.

[METHODS] The current literature and expert opinions form our two senior authors were used to create a numerical and color-coded chart based on G-prime for filler selection, as well as an anatomical table with current recommendations and pearls. We have also included a safety table with current clinical recommendation to deal with common filler-related complications.

[CONCLUSION] Fillers are a safe and reliable method to achieve augmentation. Filler selection in various anatomical planes plays a significant role in achieving favorable results.
