Dermal Fillers: Symptoms, Classification, Diagnosis & Recovery

Ageing individuals always have an urge for youthfulness or rather a more youthful appearance. This has led to an increased demand for treatment to reduce facial lines, wrinkles, frown lines, laugh lines and to plump lips and cheeks. Additionally, people also look forward to changing the appearance of their hands, feet, earlobe, and décolletage (chest, neck, shoulder, and upper breast area).

Many treatments are now available to fulfil the dreams of the people who wish to regain their youthful appearance. One such option involves injecting dermal fillers into the muscles that have changed in appearance due to ageing, sun exposure, or some other reason.

Dermal filler treatment or cosmetic filler treatment involves injecting appropriate material such as soft tissue and wrinkle fillers to help fill in damaged tissue and give a fuller, plump look. It enhances the appearance of the face and gives it a smoother appearance. Sometimes even fat from other parts of the body is used in dermal filler treatment.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Injectable fillers can be either temporary or permanent. Permanent dermal fillers used for damaged tissues are tiny round, smooth, and biocompatible plastic particles that cannot be absorbed by the body, whereas temporary fillers are absorbed by the body.

Temporary dermal or cosmetic fillers include materials such as collagen injections, hyaluronic acid gel, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-l-lactic acid. These fillers are used to correct the following areas:

  • Soft tissue defects such as facial wrinkles, folds, cheek
  • Under eye hollowness
  • Thin lips
  • Sagging hands
  • Bony feet
  • Sagging earlobes, temple, and jawline
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Sunken cheeks
  • Skin depression and indentations on the face, feet, chin, and hands

Hyaluronic acid fillers are popular cosmetic fillers used to correct skin that has lost its elasticity. Under eye, fillers are also popular among medical tourists. Under eye, fillers are used to remove hollowness, bags under the eye, and dark circles.

There are no major preparatory steps that you need to take before option for under eye fillers or any other type of fillers. However, make sure to fetch enough information from different sources to set your expectations before the surgery.

Research the internet about the type of under eye fillers and other injectable available before your first appointment with the cosmetic specialist. Choose a specialist who is highly skilled and has years of experience in using injectable dermal fillers.

Additionally, you must stop taking any medications or supplements at least a week before the surgery. These include omega-3 fatty acid, vitamin E, and ginseng supplements. Such supplements may increase the risk of bruising after the procedure.

Increase your intake of certain nutrients such as vitamin C, Zinc, and vitamin K. Doing so will speed up the recovery process. Ask your cosmetologist about certain modifications that you should make in your diet prior to the procedure.
