Legal ramifications of off-label filler use

David J Goldberg. Dermatol Ther. 2006 May-Jun.

Abstract

Dermal fillers are often used in an off-label manner. Most off-label use is not only legal, but represents an appropriate physician standard of care. This chapter will first explore what is and what is not considered off-label. Then the chapter will explore manufacturer promotion of off-label use of both drugs and devices. Finally, the legal ramifications of off-label dermal filler use will be discussed.
