Facial fillers have seen a dramatic increase in popularity in recent years, especially hyaluronic-acid-based fillers, like Restylane, whose use has grew by 35 % last year according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. However, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery cautions that fillers are sometimes used inappropriately.

According to Dr. Rhoda Narins, past president of the ASDS, many celebrities are turning to fillers to conceal the effects of yo-yo dieting and unhealthy eating. "Since the face is the first part of the body to reflect unhealthy eating habits and dieting," she said, "more celebrities are requesting fillers to 'naturally' plump up sunken facial features." Extreme weight loss thins the skin, making the face appear empty, narrow, and aged. Celebrities use fillers to conceal the fact that their super-small figures are unnatural.

Facial fillers are more appropriately used to combat the signs of aging, including the natural loss of fat. For this procedure, injectable fillers, including autologous fat, represent very good treatment options. Younger people with abnormally hollowed faces should consider it a sign that their weight loss may not be healthy.
