History of Cosmetic Fillers: Paraffin | Aesthetic Minutes
How long have cosmetic filler injections been around in plastic surgery? And what was the very first injectable filler used to fix deformities of the nose, and fill the cheeks, lips, and rest of the face? In this episode of Aesthetic Minutes, we travel way back in time into the 1800's to learn of the earliest forms of injectable fillers, focusing on the very first widely use product: paraffin. The story of paraffin serves as a cautionary tale on the importance of long-term safety studies prior to the approval of new therapies to the public. Witness the evolution history of the field of aesthetic medicine through the extraordinary historical cosmetic filler before and after images. #DermalFillers #Fillers #CosmeticInjections

I feel so bad for the early patients -- they had to experience horrible complications, if not death. It's so interesting the advancements that came out of WW1 after treating injured soldiers.
Love all the videos! Will you be doing a history on Silicone? Thank you. A huge fan! 💕
Love this man's accent. Where are u from? Seems to me like you are a native speaker from the American Continent and not necessarily from only an English speaking country. Is that possible? I say this become I happen to be someone who was brought up with three different languages and cultures and find myself slipping into any three different cultural identities. The Canadians have had no choice, they are strickly bi-cultural. So is Spain with its four official languages. I do however find it intriguing when spouses from different countries can instill their culture and languages into the souls and minds of their children born into a third different country. Now that is what I call a cultural success. Food for thought, regardless of your background. Beautiful diction nevertheless!!

Thank you, it’s a vestigial Portuguese accent from Northwest mainland Portugal gradually suppressed over 2 decades in the US since teenage years 😄. It is not the typical Portuguese accent and I don’t blame you for thinking it was from the American continent since it has a slight similarity to the Brazilian-American accent.
