Several injection steps may be required to fill deep creases or scars. Local anesthesia is required when deep fillers are injected. The following areas require deep injection:
Lip enhancement requires several injections to distribute the filler in different areas of the lip in order to highlight the lip and better define the vermilion margin.
Recovery is evident immediately after injection. However, there is a slight inflammation and transient bruising. Some fillers initially make excessive corrections that improve within a few hours to a few days. This condition is longer when the fat is injected and lasts for several weeks.
Important points about the safety and side effects of fillers
Injecting fillers is a personal matter and you are personally involved in its benefits and losses. The surgeon will explain the possible risks to you. You fill out a consent form stating your knowledge of the potential risks and side effects of the injection.
Complications and risks of using fillers are not common.
Complications of different types of fillers are variable and depending on the shelf life and type of filler include the following:
Lack of symmetry.
Bleeding, swelling and bruising.
Displacement of the filler from the main site and temporary paralysis of the muscles in a specific area of the face.
Skin destruction.
Itching and inflammation of the skin.
Redness of the skin.
Skin sensitivity.
Wrinkle repair more or less than expected.
Fillers from non-human sources should be tested on the individual (for allergies).
Infection at the injection site.
Fillers that are not pure solutions contain particles that accumulate over time with facial movements and age and eventually form a lump, which may require surgery to remove.
Skin rash.
Creating an antibody that causes the filler to be absorbed sooner in later stages. More facts and issues about fillers
Choose a specialist.
Although filler injections seem simple and quick and you will quickly look younger, if you choose a plastic surgeon for the injection, it will be done by someone who is not only skilled in the field of injection but also Because of his familiarity with anatomy and surgery, he will do this in the best possible way.
Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon any questions.
It is natural to be a little anxious because you will find a new look. Do not be embarrassed to discuss these issues with your surgeon.
Recovery
The results of the injection of fillers appear immediately. Immediately after injection may:
There may be a slight inflammation or bruising.
Redness and temporary numbness occur.
Feel over-injected.
All of the above issues will disappear in a few hours to a few days, and with ice, this recovery will be faster. In case of fat injection, the above problems will continue for several weeks.
Your results and appearance
The injection results are not permanent, even if the filler is permanent or non-absorbable. On the other hand, aging and filler absorption over time cause changes that if you do not re-inject, you will return to normal. Even if permanent fillers are used, the original shape will be lost over time as the filler is moved, surgery will be needed to remove the filler, and the soft tissue of the face will lose its original shape. The next steps of the injection will be faster because there is no need for complete consultation and it can be done immediately after obtaining the consent.
