These procedures are totally safe, but if the procedure is done incorrectly, these could be potential signs of a bad filler job.
What Can Dermal Filler Treat?
Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as add volume to areas of the face. One common use for dermal fillers is to treat smokers lips, which are caused by smoking cigarettes and other tobacco products. Dermal fillers can also be used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on other areas of the face, such as around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, and mouth. Injectable treatment options can specifically address issues like facial wrinkles and other signs of aging. Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume and definition to the cheeks, chin, jawline, and temples. Additionally, dermal fillers can be used to plump up thinning lips or enhance facial contours.
The Ideal Dermal Filler Candidate
As dermal fillers require little to no downtime, patients can get right back to their busy day after treatment. Mild swelling, redness, and bruising may be seen, although these side-effects will quickly fade. Exercise and alcohol consumption should be avoided for the first 24 hours, as these can significantly increase the chances of swelling.
The ideal candidate for injectable fillers will be in good overall health, without any active skin infections. They should understand the dermal filler process and the expected results. While dermal fillers can offer exceptional skin rejuvenation, patients with dynamic wrinkles, caused by repetitive muscle movement, should include a neurotoxin, such as Botox Cosmetic. Those with severe lax skin may be encouraged to seek out a surgical procedure, such as a facelift, brow lift, or blepharoplasty (eyelid lift).
