Hyaluronic acid is generally not suitable for calf augmentation; instead, autologous fat transfer can be used for this purpose. Hyaluronic acid injections can effectively hydrate and moisturize the skin, making it appear fuller and more plump. They are also suitable for individuals with a flat nasal bridge or those seeking lip augmentation. After hyaluronic acid injection, avoid massaging the treated area to prevent interference with absorption.
