What to Know About Filler in 2025
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ 2024 Plastic Surgery Statistics Report, hyaluronic acid fillers were among the top minimally invasive cosmetic procedures of the year. Roughly 5.3 million patients opted for facial fillers, a 1% increase from 2023, while almost 1.6 million more used these injectables on their lips, the report said. Simply put, fillers remain extremely popular. But what’s changing is how they’re being used, dermatologists and plastic surgeons say. We’re collectively moving from a “the more the better” approach to a preference for subtle enhancements, says Bob Basu, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston and president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
