The study was conducted on thirty-six adult male rats with age ranging from 2 to 3 months and weight ranging from 150-200g. They were divided into two groups, each consisting of 18 rats, the first group represents the control group I and the second group represents the experimental group II. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups, according to the time of sacrifice with intervals of 7 days, 45 days and 90 days following injection as group I A, B and C and group II A, B and C respectively. In experimental group II, each rat received 0.07 ml of HA filler, which was injected into the lower lip, whereas group I served as positive control, where the animals were injected with 0.9 % saline into the lower rat's lip in the same way as those of experimental group ER -
