Injectables And You
As we age, our faces become wrinkled and creased after years of talking, eating, sunbathing and laughing. These wrinkles can make you look years older than your actual age... or they can give away your age when you feel decades younger. Injectables give everyone the opportunity to look years younger.
Fillers, inserted by a competent plastic surgeon, can fill in wrinkles and creases on the face and now even enhanced facial features, such as cheekbones or small chin weaknesses. Some acne scars also respond well. Perhaps the most popular procedure is lip enhancement.
Types of Injectables:
Injectable cosmetic procedures now use autogenous fat or alloplastic commercially available fillers, such as Radiesse, Restylane, Juvéderm and now Perlane. None of these fillers are associated with allergic reactions—immediate or delayed. Each filler has certain advantages and disadvantages. Your plastic surgeon will advise you as to the best choice to your particular issue. A plastic surgical consultation is a must to determine the correct filler and whether a filler will even give you the result you desire.
The Filler Procedure:
With the exception of fat, all of the commercially available fillers are ready for immediate use. Fat requires a harvesting procedure and injection usually done under anesthesia. Small 30 gauge needles are used, making the procedure almost pain-free. Injectable blocks or topical anesthetic creams can be used if necessary but usually aren’t required. Fillers give immediate results. Although swelling can occur, it is very quickly resolved. Makeup can be used after the procedure, and most normal activity can be resumed. Fat transfer is more arduous because of the donor site and the need for overcorrection. Fillers offer a very neat, relatively easy, cost effective way to enhance one’s appearance. These fillers now have long-lasting results, but they do diminish with time and need to be repeated. Again, it is important to have a complete consultation by a plastic surgeon to determine which filler, if any, is appropriate for you.
