Injectable Fillers
Filler advantages can be done without surgery, it’s good for low-hanging bags and fine, crinkling lines. Most fillers are made of a substance your body already makes, hyaluronic acid. It’s a sugar molecule, already in your skin, that holds in water. If it is put in the right place, it looks natural and can hold in water for several months. It will cost a few hundred dollars and you’ll need touch-ups.
Injectable soft-tissue fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse can be used for treating volume loss in the lower eyelid area. These fillers have a temporary effect, can in most cases be dissolved if the patient desires or may be trying the effect before committing to a more permanent surgical solution.
You have many choices of products and providers with injectable fillers, and many ways they can be used to address various areas and issues you may be experiencing. Some fillers are intended to be used in the spaces between the muscles of facial expression, and others are intended to be used in deeper facial muscles that are always there and constantly working.
The injectable fillers commonly used today consist of hyaluronic acid that has been modified to last longer. Respira Medical can help you in selecting the right filler for you, but there are many that will work just fine.
We are primarily using fillers with hyaluronic acid in them due to their safety, but this is not important to all providers. We will use only one filler, Sculptra, to help define and enlarge the chin. There are many options available, and Dr. Whaley can discuss the limitations and benefits of different fillers and their cost with you.
Minimal Risk and Recovery
Only a series of injections as opposed to surgery means less risk and less recovery period involved. However, it is possible to get an allergic reaction from receiving lip injections or have a negative reaction to the filler itself. Like fillers, only a few cases you will need to remain indoors for a week before going out. Most people carry on with their daily routines as soon as the procedure is completed. So this procedure attracts those with busy or limited downtime lifestyles.
