An Israeli company
recently announced success where they injected bioractor grow autologous bone grafts into the jaws of a few patients in the maxillofacial region. Here's
the website describing the product.
A product like this certainly looks great for grafting osteotomy defects. I wonder whether it might also be useful in non-invasive facial augmentation, particularly in the infraorbital region under the eye which is hard to hit surgically and causes the dreaded eye bags a lot of us get early. I don't know if there might be some fundamental limitations, I don't see how an augmentation would be added under a soft tissue attachment point for example. For those we'd need a treatment that stimulates growth of existing bone. Like re-opening the sutures closed from childhood.
