Objectives: To assess the ultrasonographic patterns of different calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) formulations, including the undiluted, diluted, and mixed with hyaluronic acid (HA) compounds.
Methods: To review the ultrasonographic images of patients ≥18 years with confirmed injections of CaHA clinically and ultrasonographically, and without different concomitant types of fillers in the same region or other systemic or localized cutaneous diseases.
Results: Twenty-one patients met the criteria (90% female; 10% male; mean age: 52 years ± 12.
