Clinical Trials in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery

Abstract

Many facial plastic and reconstructive surgery providers are interested in incorporating clinical trials into their own practice. Clinical trials in facial plastics have made key contributions to current practices. Clinical trials range from investigating the safety and efficacy of Juvederm filler to reducing pain associated with injecting Juvederm. This article summarizes landmark clinical trials in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and provides a framework for providers to get involved in clinical trials.
