The Dermal Filler Procedure
Restoring youthfulness to your face doesn’t have to be a miracle of science; all it takes is a non-invasive cosmetic surgery procedure. You can get rid of fine lines and wrinkles, and enjoy fuller lips and cheek bones in no time. Dermal fillers have been known as “liquid facelifts” that give patients the look they want, without having to go under the knife.
The procedure itself is much cheaper than surgery or any laser clinic treatment and can last for many months after each treatment. Many patients aren’t aware of the process that’s involved with getting dermal fillers. First you should discuss the option with your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon before you have the procedure done.
Mapping the Face
After discussing the areas of concern, your physician will mark the areas on your face where the dermal filler will be introduced under the skin. These markings will be temporary, so there’s no need to worry that you’ll be walking around with marks on your face. The areas are then cleaned with an antibacterial in order to prevent an infection occurring from the injection.
Reducing the Pain
For those who are particularly sensitive to injections, a topical anaesthetic can be applied to the area in order to minimize the pain. Otherwise, the anaesthetic is in the derma filler itself to make the procedure more comfortable. Local anaesthetics are also applied if the dermal filler needs to be introduced to a deeper part of the skin.
The Process
Dermal fillers are then introduced to each area through injections, and can take up to a few minutes, depending on how many areas there are to fill. The marks are then removed by simply washing the face, and your physician may offer you an ice pack to apply to your face before you leave his office. You are then free to leave his office and go about the rest of your daily activities.
After the Procedure
It is recommended that you refrain from touching your face as much as possible. You can apply makeup to your face if done so very lightly; too much pressure can cause the dermal fillers to move. There may be some bruising and swelling involved in the treated areas, but it should go away in a few days.
Temporary and Permanent
Dermal fillers come in a variety of substances, depending on the needs of the patient. Temporary fillers are more natural, resulting in treatments on a more frequent basis. Temporary fillers use human fat, collagen and hyaluronic acid, for example. Semi-permanent fillers last much longer and require fewer treatments but are most useful for deep wrinkles and creases. PMMA is the most popular semi-permanent dermal filler on the market and can be removed at the patient’s insistence.
Complications
Dermal fillers aren’t without their side effects, however. One of the most common risks is that the fillers will create tiny bumps under the skin, due to the natural movement of the facial muscles clumping the substance together. Surgery can be done to remove these lumps, should they become too much for the patient. Other complications include temporary numbness, acne, ne
