Dermal filler injections are a popular non-surgical option for reshaping areas such as the chin, jawline, or nose. This can improve the lateral profile of the patient and reduce the appearance of a sagging neck, eliminating the need for surgical procedures. Autologous fat injections are the only injectable filler treatment that requires surgery, but the results can last for many years. Your own fat is removed from another area, usually through liposuction, and then purified and injected into the face to help restore volume to the cheeks, temples, lower eyelids or other areas.
Fat injections require specialized training to function safely and achieve excellent results, and should only be performed by an experienced, board-certified cosmetic surgeon. Many patients prefer Juvederm because it contains lidocaine, making the process more comfortable. Juvederm works great for multiple areas, including the lips and nasolabial areas (the parenthesis marks between the nose and mouth). Juvederm Voluma is the first filling approved by the U.
S. for volumizing the middle face (cheeks), and is the first HA filler that carries a 2-year effect statement on its label. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected under the skin to create a softer or fuller appearance, or both. The U. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates dermal fillers as medical devices.
As reported in clinical trials, the effects of most FDA-approved dermal fillers are temporary because they are made of materials that are eventually broken down and absorbed by the body. It may be necessary to repeat the injection procedure to maintain the desired effect. Dermal fillers contain ingredients that add fullness to areas that have been thinned due to aging. This thinning is common on the cheeks, lips and around the mouth. One area that is gaining popularity is eliminating wrinkles or fine lines in the chin area.
Over time, sun exposure and weakening of the lower facial muscles can cause this area to look like orange peel. Fillers are a great way to give customers a smoother look on the lower face. Juvéderm, Restylane and Belotero Balance are recommended fillers to address this problem and minimize annoying signs of aging. The cost of cheek fillers will depend on the type of dermal fillers you and your provider decide on, as well as how much of that material is needed. If you choose a skin filler treatment, a specialist will inject it into your skin to smooth out some of your wrinkles. Make sure your provider has proven experience in cosmetic medicine, as well as substantial training and experience in performing filler injections. A trained professional injects small amounts of filler into the wrinkle to soften it and reduce its appearance.
Having a professional inject skin fillers into your face can provide immediate results that last for months. Injecting too quickly can put excessive pressure on the treatment area, increasing its likelihood of migration. Hyaluronic acid fillers tend to be the most temporary option and are therefore often recommended for patients using fillers for the first time. Each product is uniquely formulated to have a certain texture, density and depth of injection, meaning that certain fillers work better for certain areas of interest. Expertly injected fillers can restore volume and youthful appearance without any “frostbite of the face” effects that may be associated with Botox. Depending on the product and areas treated, you should be able to notice results immediately after receiving filler injections.
You may also want to avoid strenuous exercise until it has fully taken its shape, 48 hours after injection.
