Filler

“What are dermal fillers?” When this question is asked, the answer can be given as "It is a kind of treatment performed to eliminate the negative expressions on the face area caused by reasons such as aging, gaining and losing excess weight, and genetic factors".

People can look unhappy, tired, or older than they are because of the lines on their faces. With the filler, it is possible to eliminate these problems. Especially after an older age, the decrease in the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid affects the water-holding ability of the skin and can cause it to dry out. Wrinkles are usually seen around the nose, lips, and mouth. The filler may contain different substances, some of which are hyaluronic acid, bovine collagen, and polymer.

Filler Procedure 

A detailed examination is performed before fillers are applied. The area to be filled and the amount of filling is determined. The area where the application will be made is disinfected. An anesthetic cream can be applied to prevent pain. Generally, pain is not felt during filling injections. The duration of the application is about half an hour, and after it is finished, the person can return to daily life. 1 week after the first session, the second session takes place and the process is completed.

Fillers can also be applied in areas other than the face. They can be used to plump the breasts and buttocks, to remove tissue loss caused by accident, or to remove collapses that can be seen as a result of liposuction.

Candidates for Fillers

The filling is an ideal method, especially for people who have wrinkles and collapses on their faces with aging. It is usually preferred by people who want to remove wrinkles around the nose, sagging around the mouth, skin cracks, and plump the cheekbones.

Possible Complications of Fillers

Some symptoms can be seen after aesthetic filling sessions, but these are natural. Redness, swelling, itching, and pain are among the most common side effects after the filling. Depending on the filling material, some other symptoms may also be encountered. Infection, bleeding, or allergic reactions, although rare, may also occur. The average duration of symptoms is between 3 days and 1 week.
