Injetable Fillers

Injectable fillers are constantly becoming more popular and it is easy to understand why. As time passes the influence of our lifestyle, heredity and sun exposure will have a negative impact on our face. In fact, the first aging sign you can notice stands in a loss of fullness of the face. Wrinkles also appear and this will have a negative psychological impact on us. One way to soften face lines and restore fullness and volume stands in using injectable fillers. This is a procedure that is not surgical so the risks associated with surgery will be avoided. By using injectable fillers you will be able to enhance contours that are shallow, soften wrinkles and facial creases, improved recessed scars appearance and plump lips that are too thin.

We must also understand that there are some common misconceptions liked with this procedure. There are basically things that injectable fillers can not do. The dreaded aging process will not be stopped and in case there are some situations that show higher damage degree, you might be faced with having to go for cosmetic surgery. This includes procedures like eye lifts, brow lifts or facelifts. Injectable fillers can not achieve the same results as these surgeries. The good news is that they do help a lot in delaying the date when a facelift is needed.

The only person that should tell you whether or not injectable fillers are right for you is the doctor that is to perform the procedure. We are still talking about a medical operation and we need to emphasize on the fact that you need to go through with it in order to change what you do not like. In no circumstance should you use injectable fillers in order fulfill the desires of somebody else or reach an ideal image that is not yours. You will only be recommended to go through with this type of procedure if you do not smoke, have a generally good health and are realistic when thinking about the results.

There are different injectable filler types that can be used. You probably heard about a lot of them but there are also some that are not that popular. In most cases doctors will use collagen, which is a skin supporting natural protein. Results are visible for a maximum of around 6 months. We then have hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that is natural and found in your body. In most cases it is used in order to fill creases in your face and plump lips that are too thin. Some injectable fillers are based on hydroxylapatite. It is a compound that is found in our bones and it is actually the heaviest possible facial filler. Hydroxylapatite is usually used in order to fill deep creases and enhance cheek fullness. The doctor can also use human fat as filler. The problem is that it will be more difficult to use as liposuction techniques are utilized in order to obtain the fat to create the filler injection. Then we also have PMMA (real name polymethylmethacrylate) fillers. They come with 20% PMMA microspheres, which are combined with 80% purified collagen. In most cases such an injectable filler is used in order to correct the wrinkles that are known as smile lines.

We recommend that you only deal with doctors that have had good results in treating facial problems with injectable fillers. This is a reality as you will want to get the best possible results, which come with experience. You might also want to talk about the manufacturer of the injectable filler because some are more expensive than others.
