Facial Fillers

With aging, the skin’s hyaluronic acid content and, accordingly, the skin’s water retention capacity decreases. Subcutaneous collagen and elastin fibers break. These breaks cause wrinkles and then sagging over time. The frequency of facial expressions a person makes causes breakage to accelerate. Wrinkles deepen due to the loss of subcutaneous tissue. The most commonly used medical procedures to eliminate deep facial wrinkles are filler applications. The filler method is a method that attracts great attention because it is performed in a shorter time compared to aesthetic surgeries and is more economical.

What is Filling?

Filling can be defined as a medical aesthetic procedure applied by injection into the lower layer of the skin. Aesthetic fillers are semi-permanent or permanent substances compatible with the body that are used to eliminate wrinkles and loss of elasticity on the skin.

Collagen-based fillers provide a natural look, but their permanence is short-lived and allergic reactions are more common.

Autologous fillers are fillers obtained by processing fat taken from the person’s hips, thighs, and abdomen. Their permanence is shorter than hyaluronic acid.

Why is Facial Filling Done?

With age, the skin becomes more sensitive to wrinkles and sagging. The muscle tissue of the skin loosens due to the effects of the sun and repeated muscle movements over the years. With facial filling applications, the skin can gain a younger and more dynamic appearance. Filling application is most commonly used in the facial area. Filling application can be applied to anyone over the age of 18.

Who Should Apply Facial Filling?

Aesthetic filling applications must be applied by an experienced doctor in this regard and products licensed by the Ministry of Health should be used.

In Which Areas and How is Filling Treatment Applied?

Filling treatment can be used to plump thin lips, lengthen a short jawline without the need for surgical intervention, highlight cheekbones, and eliminate sagging under the eyes caused by stress, fatigue or genetic factors. Filling treatment can also be applied to different areas of the body other than the face.

In addition; It can be applied to the hollows running down the sides of the nose, to the lip contour, inside the lip, to the wrinkles on or around the lip, to the eyebrow area to lift the eyebrows or correct the asymmetry between the eyebrows, to the tip of the nose to lift the tip of the nose, and between the eyebrows to eliminate lines formed due to frowning.

How is Facial Filling Done?

In order to obtain the most successful results from facial filling applications, the patient’s complaints and expectations should be thoroughly understood, current problems should be evaluated in detail and the most accurate guidance should be provided when necessary.

Facial filling applications can be defined as semi-permanent solutions applied with small injections to certain areas of the face. Aesthetic filling is a simple and painless procedure that is completed in a short time. Before starting the procedure, anesthetic creams are applied to the application area. The person’s face and skin structure are examined and it is determined which areas and in what amount which filling material will be applied. The application area is sterilized and marked. The filler material is injected into the designated areas using fine-tipped needles. After the injection is completed, special creams are applied to prevent bruising.

The application is completed in approximately 15 minutes. After the application, edema may occur on the face due to the water retention properties of the fillers. This condition resolves itself within a week. The patient should be careful not to make too many facial expressions on the day of the facial filling application. It is important to avoid water contact and make-up for 4 hours after the application. Since facial fillers are affected by heat, environments such as Turkish baths and saunas should be avoided for the period specified by the doctor. After the application, plenty of water should be consumed, the skin should not be massaged, and care should be taken to lie on the back on the first day.

What are the Advantages of Fillers?

Fillers are procedures that can be performed without the need for an operating room environment and anesthesia. Thus, patients can achieve a younger-looking skin with a short-term, simple, and painless application without having to spend a lot of time and go through a long recovery process. In addition, filler applications are more economically priced than other aesthetic treatment alternatives. Since it is a comfortable application and has simple side effects that usually go away on their own, they are preferred more than surgical operations.

However, a price-oriented approach should not be adopted in the decision-making process when a filler injection will be performed. The risk of encountering situations such as applications where the effectiveness of the substance is reduced in order to reduce the cost should not be taken into account. Care should be taken to ensure that the application is performed by a specialist doctor in sterile environments.
