Enhancing Facial Features With Facial Fillers
A facial filler can improve your appearance by reducing the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, lack of volume, and other aesthetic concerns. In this review, we discuss how facial fillers can enhance your facial features and when you should consider treatment.
Facial fillers: How they can help enhance facial features
Here is everything to know about facial fillers, including what they are, the benefits that they provide, and when they are recommended.
What are facial fillers?
Facial fillers, also called dermal fillers, are a form of non-surgical cosmetic treatment. They involve the injection of soft tissue to help increase facial volume and reduce the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike surgical procedures, which offer a more permanent benefit, a facial filler can provide temporary results. However, patients can receive multiple treatments over time.
What are the benefits of a facial filler?
Every patient has their own reason for choosing facial fillers. There are numerous ways that they can help enhance facial features. Here are a few of the most common reasons that patients choose facial fillers:
- Increase the volume of thin lips
- Add volume to create fuller cheeks
- Soften facial wrinkles and liens
- Remove (or reduce) lower lid shadows
- Reduce the appearance of scars
When should I consider facial fillers for facial enhancement?
Facial fillers are encouraged for any patient who wants to enhance their facial features and has realistic expectations of the results that they can achieve. The ideal patient is aware of the risks and understands that facial fillers provide temporary benefits; they are not intended as a permanent solution for aesthetic facial concerns. That said, they are ideal for patients who want to enhance facial features and gain more daily confidence.
Are facial fillers safe?
Severe complications from facial fillers are rare. However, minor side effects are to be expected. Notably, these include:
- Swelling around the injection site
- Temporary bruising
- Skin eruptions (i.e., acne)
- Skin rash and itching
Most side effects go away within a week after treatment, and some patients experience little to no side effects at all. Everyone is unique, and the precise risks depend on the individual. While severe complications like scarring are rare, they could occur.
What can I expect for the long term with facial fillers?
Facial fillers provide temporary results, so they are not intended for patients who seek permanent results. That said, many patients see benefits that last for six months or more. The length of time that you can expect the benefits to last can vary from several months to more than two years. Patients should speak with their practitioner about precisely how long they should expect the results to last.
