Filler Application: Correcting Wrinkles and Volume Loss
Filler application is a commonly used procedure in aesthetic surgery, aimed at correcting wrinkles, reshaping facial contours, and restoring lost volume. This procedure involves injecting filler substances into the skin. Filler substances typically consist of natural or synthetic materials such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, among others. Each filler material has different properties and applications. For instance, hyaluronic acid fillers are often used to enhance lip volume or fill deep wrinkles, while calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are typically used to support bone structure and improve skin elasticity.
Who Can Benefit from Filler Application?
Individuals who can benefit from filler application are typically those aged 30 and above. With aging, the skin may experience volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging. Filler application is a suitable option for those looking to alleviate or eliminate these signs of aging. However, it is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, allergic to filler materials, or have skin infections.
Types of Filler Application and Filler Materials Used
Filler application encompasses various techniques and filler materials. The most commonly used filler materials include hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate. Each filler material has distinct properties and effects, so the choice of filler material is determined based on the patient's needs and preferences.
How Is Filler Application Performed?
Filler application is typically performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon in an office setting. Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic cream is applied. Subsequently, the filler material is injected into the skin using fine needles. The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, and patients are discharged on the same day. The effects of the filler material are usually visible immediately, but full results may take a few days or weeks to appear.
Recovery Process and Recommendations After Filler Application
Filler application generally offers a rapid recovery process. Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness after the procedure, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few days. To expedite the recovery process, skincare products can be used, and sunscreen can be applied. Additionally, strenuous exercise should be avoided, and proper skincare should be maintained following the procedure.
