When to consider a Filler?
What is a deep-plane Filler?
Fillers are injectable treatments used in cosmetic dermatology to restore volume and fullness to the face. Commonly made from substances like hyaluronic acid, they are used to diminish facial lines, enhance contours, and improve the appearance of recessed scars. Fillers are popular for plumping up thin lips, enhancing shallow contours, softening facial creases and wrinkles, and improving the look of recessed scars. They offer a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation, with immediate results and minimal downtime. Fillers are temporary and require periodic treatments to maintain the effect.
Who is a good candidate for a Filler?
Good candidates for fillers typically include individuals who:
- Have noticeable facial lines and wrinkles they wish to diminish.
- Want to restore volume to areas like cheeks, lips, or under the eyes.
- Are seeking non-surgical methods for facial rejuvenation.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of filler treatments.
- Are in overall good health with no active skin infections.
- Are not allergic to the filler materials.
- Desire immediate cosmetic enhancement with minimal recovery time.
What does a filler address?
- Facial Wrinkles and Folds: Smoothing out lines and creases, particularly around the mouth and nose.
- Volume Loss: Restoring volume to areas like cheeks, under the eyes, and lips.
- Facial Contours: Enhancing and defining facial features like cheekbones or jawline.
- Lip Enhancement: Plumping up thin lips for a fuller appearance.
- Scarring: Improving the appearance of recessed scars.
- Asymmetry Correction: Balancing facial symmetry.
What does a filler not address?
Fillers do not address:
- Skin Texture and Tone: They don't improve overall skin texture or issues like pigmentation, sun damage, or acne scars.
- Dynamic Wrinkles: Fillers are not designed for wrinkles caused by muscle movement, which are typically treated with Botox.
- Sagging Skin: They don't significantly lift sagging skin; a surgical facelift might be more appropriate for this.
- Permanent Alterations: The effects of fillers are temporary and require ongoing treatments to maintain results.
- Prevention of Aging: Fillers treat the symptoms but don't prevent the aging process of the skin.
What to expect during recovery from a filler?
- Minimal Downtime: Most people can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
- Temporary Swelling or Redness: These are common at the injection sites but usually subside within a few days.
- Possible Bruising: Some may experience bruising, which can be concealed with makeup.
- Immediate Results: The effects of fillers are typically visible right away.
- Instructions on Care: Your provider may advise avoiding strenuous activities for a short period and provide specific care instructions for the treated area.
