What are fillers, what are they used for

I. С.: Fillers – these are drugs that are used for facial contouring, for injecting changes in certain forms (cheekbones, nose, lips, oval in general, etc.). They differ in their composition.

The most common today are preparations based on hyaluronic acid, which is normally an integral part of the human body. Therefore, such drugs are considered the safest. There is also an important feature - the process is reversible!

If necessary, "reverse the effect" an enzyme that breaks down the filler is introduced and the drug is completely gone. Such an enzyme normally exists in the human body, therefore all hyaluronic acid-based fillers break down over time and the procedure must be repeated.

Lip augmentation with filler: are there any differences in preparations

I. S.: There are many classifications of fillers, but one thing to keep in mind is their density. There are more and less concentrated preparations, but we feel them as more and less dense. The choice of filler density depends on the area in which the correction is planned. When working with the zygomatic area, we choose a very dense filler.

If lip correction is planned, we use the softest one so that the patient feels the lips "after the procedure" as if they were his own. When in this zone  a dense drug is injected, the patient feels it as a "roller". Such a correction immediately catches the eye, we have all seen "duck lips". With this result, either the filler was injected incorrectly, or the preparation was too dense.

Only the doctor chooses the brand of the drug and its density for the upcoming correction.

If a patient needs to revitalize their lips so that they are not so dry, I choose a very soft filler. After such a procedure, the shape of the lips will not change, but the volume and effect of "kissed lips" will appear.

If I need to correct a severe asymmetry, a more concentrated filler will be the drug of choice.

But I still prefer to work with mild preparations to get the most natural results. What is the result of correction with fillers

I. С.:

The result always depends on the request of the patient and his true need. If we are struggling with some kind of appearance problems, such as asymmetry or the consequences of an injury, then I will most likely combine soft and dense fillers. At the same time, in order to achieve the maximum result, we will need several visits.

Often in my practice I hide defects and fix the consequences.

For example:

Patients who were once injected with a drug based on "silicone" or "hydrogel" to the lip area. After time, it either migrated or was partially removed. In this case, we get a very strong asymmetry, which is quite difficult to compensate.

Often the patient does not want to go for such complex interventions, it is easier for him to come to the beautician and improve the "picture" filler. Of course, I recommend getting therapy with a "target specialist", but this is rarely successful.

Moments of age – with age, the bones of the facial skull change and gradually “leave”, respectively, the lips sink.

We sometimes see grandmothers with sunken or curled lips.  In this case, I do not increase the lips, but return the volume that was before. Sometimes I even ask you to bring a photo in your youth to see the true form and restore it as much as possible

. Any complication can be corrected

I. S.:

I love primary patients who have never injected anything, or have been injected for a long time, but they remember exactly which doctor and which drug they were injected with. You immediately understand that a person consciously went to the doctor for a procedure. Unfortunately, today a large number of girls who injected somewhere in an underground office and have no idea who injected them and what. For me, this is the biggest problem.
With this history, if I start working with this patient, the responsibility now lies with me. Therefore, in such a situation in our clinic, sometimes they can refuse a patient.

Full Face correction technique: harmonious rejuvenation of the entire face The last horrific case in my practice – when the patient injected vitamins into his lips. In some office, someone thought it was a great idea to buy vitamins A and E capsules, draw up the contents (straight from the capsule) and inject this oil base with a thick needle into the lips. Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed.

In such cases, I try to help, but first of all I recommend contacting the one who performed the procedure. Usually this "specialist" does not respond or does not know what to do. Next, we try to alleviate the situation, if possible (we try to extinguish the inflammatory process). After that, we are sent to surgeons for abdominal

removal of the “introduced” one. How to choose your doctor

I. S.:

1. First of all, you need to make sure you have a diploma of higher medical education. 2. Read

client reviews

and see photos of doctor's work. 3. When you come to the consultation, you must tell

your vision

of the correction and listen to the opinion of the doctor. Only if they match, agree to the procedure. 4. Ask

what drug

does your doctor recommend and why? There are drugs with and without lidocaine. There are premium drugs, there are more budget ones. Some are hard and some are soft. To solve a problem, we (doctors) always pay attention to these features and can justify our choice. It is important to tell your doctor right away if you have any allergic reactions. Especially for lidocaine. It's about your own safety!

5.

Before the procedure, the doctor must show the closed package of the drug

, open it in front of you and only then start working. 6. Another point that

should alert you

. If you are offered to enter an already open drug, 0.5 or 0.2 ml - this "specialist" not highly qualified or just trying to make the most of you. One patient – one open syringe! And share it "in half with a girlfriend" it is forbidden. It is a matter of your health and
your safety! One patient – one open syringe!

General recommendations for lip care after the procedure

I. S.:

Fillers have a feature – they are soft, so it is very important not to deform or move the drug during the next 24 hours after injection. If the patient smokes, he has a habitual place of "position"; cigarettes. In this zone, a "dent" is usually formed, with which we fight during the correction. After the procedure, it is important to change the location of the cigarette so as not to create it again.

Turned cheekbones: basic approaches to partial resection of Bish's lumps After the procedure, edema occurs, which normally can remain for 1-3 days. During this period, you can not apply cold. When exposed to low temperatures, hyaluronic acid, which is part of the drug, may stray into balls.

During critical days, the procedure is not shown. Increased sensitivity and, accordingly, higher soreness. The risk of hematomas also increases significantly.

The most frequently asked question – "Will there be bruises?" Remember – bruising is up to you!

If a large number of hematomas remain after the procedure, then you should pay attention to the condition of your vessels. For prevention, homeopathic preparations based on arnica can be drunk five days before and after the procedure.

We love ourselves and make an informed choice!
