Injectable Fillers: A Guide

By Andy Baromm


Minimally invasive, injectable fillers have become a popular treatment. As these products gain popularity and acceptance, my patients are increasingly aware of the options. You can keep looking youthful, without a major surgery, with this quick, relatively painless treatment every 6-12 months.

Laugh lines

The most common area that soft tissue fillers are used to treat are laugh or smile lines. If you decide to treat the marionette lines or if your lines are particularly
deep, more may be needed, but most laugh lines soften considerably with one to two syringes of filler.

The same patient may use fillers for both fine and deep wrinkles, because there are a number of them available. By layering them in the same areas, physicians are able to plump the folds and fill the lines that are often lying in the depths of those folds. They give definition to the lips and fill other wrinkles such as laugh lines, and can be given in minutes with a tiny needle. The results, which last 6-9 months, are instantaneous, producing a natural enhancement that is safe to the skin and gentle. Within hours, you may return to normal activities.

Lips

The last place women want to lose volume is in their lips. A fuller and more sensuous mouth comes high many people's wish list. From our late twenties our lips start to become thinner with fine lines eventually starting to appear around the mouth. With a small injection of natural hyaluronic filler, you can give your lips their former glory. If you are adding lost volume or just redefining the contours of your lips, the instant results of lip filler procedures will impress you. Your new lips can appear as subtle or obvious as you want.

Cheeks

Volume lost from your cheeks shows your age dramatically. Cheek Augmentation using dermal fillers is an inexpensive way of creating a youthful look without resorting to invasive surgery.

Older skin may begin to lose its elasticity and plumpness over time. This causes the area around the cheek and jaw to sag which eventually leads to a loss of shape and definition in the face. Cheekbones that were once prominent and round may now look a bit sallow and flat, which makes us look older.Cheek augmentation fills and lifts the cheek areas, and tightens the surrounding skin, which helps to re-define the shape of your face, and give it a more balanced shape. Augmentation can also be used to improve the appearance of overly hollow cheeks and temples by adding volume to the area which gives a softer shape to an overly angular face.
