Dermal Fillers for Facial Harmony (PDF & Videos) - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Written by Altamiro Flávio, a dentist specializing in prosthetics and a co-founder of the Brazilian Society for Botulinum Toxin and Facial Implants, this book-and-video resource treats dermal filler treatment as a nuanced clinical skill rather than a simple cosmetic add-on. It positions facial analysis as the essential first step in every case, a philosophy carried through the entire text — treatment decisions only make sense once the practitioner properly understands the specific facial imbalance being addressed.

The material covers the history, classification, and characteristics of dermal fillers, then moves into injection planes and technique, including the reasoning behind choosing a needle versus a cannula for a given facial region. Complications are addressed directly rather than glossed over, and a dedicated section covers facial anesthesia for filling procedures. An entire chapter of clinical cases demonstrates how these principles apply across different facial regions, showing the reasoning behind each treatment choice.

Paired with 16 videos totaling 50 minutes of demonstration, this resource is designed for dental professionals looking to responsibly expand into facial esthetics with a solid foundation in anatomy and technique.
