I'm trying to wrap my head around HA fillers placement as it relates to muscle vs. connective tissue.

Asked By:jeffnclt in North Carolina, NC

I've often wondered if HA filler is designed to bind "under the muscle", "above muscle" and/or could it actually be injected "within muscle"? While off label certainly, say someone wanted to improve the symmetry of a body deformity in an area around a very prominent/large muscle, like a bicep or calf. Would you be limited to injecting "around/behind/under" such an important muscle like the two examples, or is the product so natural that it will bind to any tissue - connective and/or muscle?
