The article titled "Nonsurgical Chin Augmentation Using Hyaluronic Acid: A Systematic Review of Technique, Satisfaction, and Complications" by Ou et al. in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery presents a systematic review focused on categorizing complications associated with hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. However, concerns arise regarding the methodologies employed in the reviewed studies. It is essential to have precise knowledge of the properties of the active substance for treatment standardization. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the key characteristics of the HA used is paramount to determine if there is an association between these properties and the risk of complications.Understanding HA's rheological properties, including viscosity, elasticity, and cohesiveness, is crucial for selecting the most suitable facial filler. While we acknowledge the authors' contributions, we strongly believe that further analysis should incorporate these factors.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
