What Is This Study About?
This first-edition study-guide chapter, written for the AAFPRS curriculum, summarizes basic and advanced knowledge of volumizing fillers, botulinum toxin, mid-facial implants, and tissue expansion in the head and neck.
Key Findings
- Maps fillers, neuromodulators, implants, and expansion to the AAFPRS board curriculum
- Distinguishes basic versus advanced knowledge requirements for each modality
- Serves as the first-edition source later expanded with Larrabee in the 2021 second edition
What This Means for Patients
A structured review of injectables and implants helps patients receive treatments chosen from the same evidence-based framework used in facial plastic surgery board preparation.
