Main Information
<p>Historically, men and women around the globe have submitted to the introduction of all sorts of substances, some more desirable than others, into their bodies in order to achieve an augmentation of areas such as the breasts and buttocks, or to even out discrepancies in the skin’s surface caused by trauma or disease. From early attempts with paraffin and non-medical grade silicone to harvested <a href="../../../Treatments/Fat-Transfer-Injections" target="_self">autologous fat</a> and permanent <a href="../../../Treatments/Dermal-Filler-Injections" target="_self">dermal filler</a> products, the science of adding volume to the body has thankfully come along way. <br /> <br />2008 saw the launch of a new product on the UK market called <a href="https://consultingroom.com/Treatment/macrolane" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Macrolane™ VRF</a> which has become the first body shaping and volume restoration product which uses hyaluronic acid, a natural component of our own bodies.</p> <p>It is currently indicated for shaping of the breasts, calves and buttocks and also for evening out discrepancies in skin surface such as those sometimes caused by liposuction.</p> <hr /> <p><em><strong>Update (April 2012)</strong></em></p> <p>Q-Med has decided to discontinue the breast indication for Macrolane until consensus for best practices in breast radiology examination following Macrolane treatment has been reached. For more information on this, please read our <a title="Breast Augmentation with Macrolane, so called `Lunchtime Boob-Jab`, discontinued by Q-Med" href="../../../blog/289/breast-augmentation-with-macrolane,-so-called-%60lunchtime-boob-jab%60,-discontinued-by-q-med" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blog</a>. </p> <hr /> <p>If you are considering Injectable Body Contouring the following information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure. It can't answer all your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the practitioner. Please ask a practitioner about anything you don't understand.</p>
