What Type of Scan Can I See My Implants and HA Fillers?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like to know what type of scan this is that shows previous implants and even hyaluronic acid fillers? Because I had a CT scan, but my right jaw angle implant and the fillers didn’t appear, only the implant screws.

A: The only aesthetic facial implant material that can be seen on a 3D CT scan is silicone. HA fillers can never be seen as they have the density of water.
