Filler MaterialsMedical Aspects Prof. Dr. med. P. Graf Munich
Filler-Material (Selection) • Silicon • Polytetrafluoräthylen (PTFE) • Collagen • Hyaluronic Acid • Acryl (Plexiglas) • Polyacrylamid • Poly-L-lactic acid • Calcium-Hydroxylapatit • Autologous Tissue (Fat)
Plastic Material Silikon PTFE PMMA Organic Material Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Autologous Fat Filler Material (Composition)
hard Silicon PTFE Goldthreads „ liquid“ Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Acryl Microspheres Autologous Fat Filler Material (Consistency)
Silicon (Hard Consistency) • inert Material • Nonresorbable • No indication as filler material for wrinkles • Deep positioning • Indication for contour improvement (Breast, chin, etc.)

Collagen • Low Immunogenicity (3%) • Resorbable • Superficial and deep Positioning • Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)
Hyaluronic Acid I • No Immunogenicity • Resorbable (6 Months) • Superficial and deep positioning
Hyaluronic Acid IIPattern of Intercellular Space The intercellular space of the skin is filled by collagen fibers which are located in a matrix of polysaccharides (=hyaluronic acid).
Hyaluronic Acid IIIMicrostructure, Properties An important function of hyaluronic acid is its property of water retention.
Hyaluronic Acid IVIntradermal/Subdermal Positioning of Filler
Hyaluronic Acid VInjection Technique Linear Injection technique Serial step-by-step Injection technique
Nonresorbable Filler MaterialAcryl-derivates, Calcium-Hydroxylapatit, Poly-L-Lactic Acid, etc. • Non- / Low-Resorbable • Deep Positioning • Immunogenicity ? -Foreign Body reaction -Inflammation -Infection -Fistula
Complications ITransdermal Migration of Acryl Microspheres (PMMA), (=Plexiglas)
Complications IIintravascular Injection Skin necrosis after accidental intravascular injection of PMMA
Complications IIIBlindness from: Complications of Injectable Fillers, Part 2: Vascular Complications Aesthetic Surgery Journal Claudio DeLorenziy 2014 34: 584-600
Bacterial Biofilm I from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BiofilmResp. from: Looking for Chinks in the Armor of Bacterial Biofilms Monroe D PLoS Biology Vol. 5, No. 11, e307 http://biology.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=slideshow&type=figure&doi=10.1371/journal.pbio.0050307&id=89595 A biofilm is any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other on a surface. These adherent cells are frequently embedded within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Biofilm extracellular polymeric substance, which is also referred to as slime (from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm)
Bacterial Biofilm II • “Biofilms are ubiquitous. Nearly every species of microorganism, not only bacteria have mechanisms by which they can adhere to surfaces and to each other. Biofilms will form on virtually every non-shedding surface in a non-sterile aqueous (or very humid) environment.” • “Biofilms can grow in showers, pipes, on teeths, catheters, contact lenses, heart valves, etc.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofilm
Bacterial Biofilm IIIin Soft Tissue Fillers Bacterial biofilm formation and treatment in soft tissue fillers Morten Alhede et al. April 2014 Pathogens and Disease doi: 10.1111/2049-632X.12139 „…Evaluation of treatment strategies showed that once the bacteria had settled (into biofilms) within the gels, even successive treatments with high concentrations of relevant antibiotics were not effective. Our data substantiate bacteria as a cause of adverse reactions reported when using tissue fillers, and the sustainability of these infections appears to depend on longevity of the gel. Most importantly, the infections are resistant to antibiotics once established but can be prevented using prophylactic antibiotics. …“
Consequences • Think! Would you like to have a permanent filler? • Do you inform your patients who ask for permanent fillers about foreign body reactions, inflammations, infections, fistulas? • Do you inform about alternatives (hyaluronic acid, fat transfer)? • Antibiotic prophylaxis?
Autologous Fat TransplantationApplication • Neurosurgery • Ophthalmology • Urology • Aesthetic Surgery • etc.
Autologous Fat TransplantationLipofilling • No immunogenicity • Resorption • Deep positioning (subcutaneous) • Operation
Autologous Fat TransferResorption Rates of Resorption in Literatur 20 - 100% Own Investigations: 55,6% (47 - 68%) Causes of trauma to transplanted fat grafts • By suction of fat (mechanical, high vacuum) • By preparation of graft (mechanical, drying) • By injection of fat graft (high pressure) • By late ischemia within the body (high tissue pressure)
Autologous Fat TransferMinimization of Resorption Atraumatic treatment is critical for Rates of resorption (=success) of fat transfer • Avoid potentially damaging substances (Adrenalin?) • Gentle suction (diameter of canula, size of vacuum) • Atraumatic preparation of fat graft • Careful preparation („ Cleaning“) of aspirated fat • Careful Injection (short, thick canula) • Good dissemination of graft • Avoid high tissue pressure
