When it comes to medical aesthetics, dermal filler injections are currently one of the most sought-after procedures. No downtime is associated with the injections, and they work immediately! Injections of medical-grade filler often contain collagen or hyaluronic acid, both of which are found naturally in the skin.
The injections replace collagen that naturally breaks down with age, resulting in a plumping and smoothing effect. Where do you think filler injections would be most effective on your face? Here is a rundown of some of the most typical applications for fillers with which Dr. Tiffany Su Houston can help.
- Enhance Lip Volume
Due in large part to a few celebrities (who may or may not have over-plumped!), dermal fillers are now commonly used to enhance the appearance of the lips. Lip filler procedures can subtly enhance the lips’ natural contour, and the texture can be evened out by filling in wrinkles and establishing symmetry.
- Cheek fillers
Loss of volume in the cheeks is a common aging effect, especially for runners and other high-impact athletes. Fillers administered by a trained professional can revive your cheeks’ volume and youthful appearance without the “face-freezing” effects of Botox. This produces a more refreshed and youthful appearance on the face without the need for invasive and time-consuming facelift surgery.
- Forehead lines
While Botox temporarily paralyzes muscles to prevent the movement that causes some wrinkles, fillers smooth over lines that are present even when the face is at rest. Hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin, is injected to plump up the wrinkles in this way.
- Adjust the Nose or Chin
Nonsurgical reshaping of the chin, jawline, or nose can be accomplished with dermal filler injections. The patient’s side profile can be enhanced, and the signs of a drooping neck mitigated in this way. As a result, many common concerns can now be addressed with fillers rather than invasive surgical treatments.
- Lessen the Visibility of Scars
Scars are unsightly because of the indentations and uneven textures they can cause, and they can appear anywhere on the face. Facial scars might be unsightly to others, but those who have them often feel self-conscious about them. Dermal fillers can be used to reduce the visibility of scars and smooth the skin around them. Dermal fillers are used for a variety of purposes, including scar removal, and they provide a discreet, non-invasive way to improve the appearance of a number of different facial flaws.
