Dermal Filler

Injectable substances used to add volume or smooth lines in the face. Sharon Osbourne recalled that when she complained about her botched surgical result, the response was an injection she could not get identified: ‘What is in this that you’re injecting me with?’ — ‘Don’t worry. It’s my special concoction,’ she says she was told. The exchange has since been cited in coverage of unregulated cosmetic ‘correction’ practices and patient safety.
