Özet

Objective: The search for safe and effective tissue fillers has been an ongoing effort for many years. Obtaining biological materials from patients can require additional incisions and brings surgical and cosmetic risks as a major disadvantage. The aim of this experimental study was, therefore, to evaluate the efficacy of folded amniotic membrane as a soft tissue filler and to assess its volume, and to investigate the possible usage of injectable amniotic membrane for augmentation.
