Over the past decades, dermal fillers and botulinum toxin have become broadly available for the improvement of undesirable skin wrinkles and sagging.(1) Previous studies have mentioned a range of factors resulting in patient motivations for non-surgical aesthetic treatments. Among these were social awareness, acceptance of cosmetic treatments, a growing sociocultural emphasis on beauty and self-image or self-esteem.(2-4) Furthermore, both women and men are increasingly affected by beauty ideals, presented by the mass media, resulting in more dissatisfaction about their self-appearance.
