Holy shit. Treatments can include injecting PLA?! Literally PLA like the 3D printer filament.

Apparently, PLA is used as a dermal filler. I believe that would include being used in plastic surgery.

I mean plastic surgery got its name from somewhere. Plastic isn't a random word.

The term "plastic surgery" comes from the same root as the material called "plastic" as in "reshaping" and dates back further than the material.
