Fillers are similar in texture to a viscous and plastic gel that can, depending on the location and depth of injection, replenish or increase the volume of tissues and change their contours. Correction with fillers is called contour plastic surgery. Products differ in density, depth of injection, base, and method of its synthesis. For example, to contour the chin or create perfect cheekbones specialist will choose a dense drug, and to achieve the effect of “plump lips” or fill the nasolacial furrows, soft. If the purpose is only to increase the volume and achieve a slight lifting, then it is worth injecting the drug shallowly. But to work with the ligamentous apparatus, it should be placed under the muscle directly on the bone. We will also find the answer to the question, “Do fillers ruin your face?”
Safe fillers
The most popular injections are fillers based on hyaluronic acid, the effect of which lasts about six months. Recently, products based on calcium hydroxyapatite have also gained popularity, the effect of which lasts up to eighteen months, and preparations that contain both bases.
Unlike surgery, the effects of hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are reversible. If the patient has changed his mind or wanted a different result, he can wait until the drug is removed from the tissues naturally, or accelerate this process with the help of a natural antidote – hyaluronidase. At the same time, most fillers are perfectly safe and cannot move around the face, disturbing its shape. If you want to completely insure yourself against such a risk, use hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
Fillers stimulate the production of your own collagen in the injection area, so after a few procedures in the areas where the drug was injected, their own collagen fibers are formed.
The technique allows you to correctly correct age-related changes or harmonizes facial features while leaving the impression of a perfect appearance created by nature, rather than a talented cosmetologist. The injection of fillers improves skin quality and promotes skin rejuvenation while remaining one of the safest procedures. Negative side effects occur only when using prohibited permanent preparations or because of injections into already traumatized tissues. Therefore, it is very important to choose an experienced doctor.
Unlike plastic surgeries, this procedure is reversible. If you are dissatisfied with the result, you will just have to wait for a little – in a few months, your face will regain its former shape. The procedure has a wide range of applications and is suitable for both young and adult patients (men and women).
