Are Cosmetic Fillers Permanent?

Benefits of Non-Permanent Cosmetic Treatments – One of the key differences between surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments is how long the effects will last. Surgery can produce permanent results, but that doesn’t always make it the best option. There are some very good reasons to choose a less permanent treatment instead:

You can test out the effects without having to make a permanent commitment. If you decide that you don’t like the results then you can ask us to do things differently next time. You can even decide to give up on fillers completely, for example if you want to try a different types of treatment instead. You don’t have to get all the filler added at once. It’s easy to put in more filler if you decide that you want more volume, so you can gradually increase the amount until you achieve the desired effect. The treatment can be adjusted as your skin changes. For example, the type of amount of filler can be adjusted if your lines get deeper or you notice new signs of ageing appearing. The effects will last long enough to make the treatment worthwhile. Dermal fillers can be injected in just 10-15 minutes, but the effects can last for about a year. You can have top-up treatments to maintain the effects, but you shouldn’t need to do this very often. Visiting the clinic every 6-12 months is usually enough to keep your skin looking its best.

Dermal fillers aren’t a permanent treatment, but this can actually be a good thing. Rather than having to live with the results of cosmetic surgery, you can change your mind at any time. You’ll be able to enjoy results that last for many months, but which can be adjusted whenever you want.

How long do cosmetic fillers last?

– Just like any other skincare procedure, individual results will vary. “Some dermal fillers can last for 6 to 12 months, while other dermal fillers can last 2 to 5 years,” says Dr. Sapna Palep of Spring Street Dermatology. The most commonly used dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that aids in the production of collagen and elastin.

Does filler permanently change your face?

Will These Dermal Fillers Create Permanent Changes in My Skin? – Since your body will gradually process the ingredients in your chosen filler, your injectable treatment will not create permanent changes in your lips, cheeks, and other facial features. Instead, the improvements created by your filler will gradually wear off.

What happens when you stop fillers?

What will happen if you stop getting injections? – One common fear about Botox is that your face will become dramatically wrinkled if you stop getting injections. Discontinuing the treatment will not make your wrinkles worse. When the effect wears off, the treated area will go back to its original appearance.

With dermal fillers, most people think your skin will become wrinkly or saggy if you stop getting injections. This is not necessarily true. The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you’ll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.

If you, however, start your injectable treatments once more, your face will be smooth again or have a more youthful appearance. You also have to take note that aging causes us to lose more volume in our face. So if you decide to stop getting Botox and fillers, you may notice that your wrinkles and creases will start to get deeper or become more prominent.

• This, however, is due to the normal aging process, not because of the injectables.

Is there a downside to fillers?

Con: Potential Side Effects – Typically, most filler and injectable side effects are mild to moderate. Patients usually experience minor bruising for 24 hours to several days. Other symptoms include rashes, swelling, and potential infection. Over time, patients may feel the filler moving away from the desired area, or, although extremely rare, develop lumps under the skin.

Do fillers sag over time?

Dermal filler will not cause the skin to stretch and sag, once the filler naturally breaks down. The only case where this would happen is if the face were to be grossly overfilled with extreme amounts of dermal fillers, which is something we most certainly do not do at Cityskin.

1. Dermal fillers are made up of a substance called hyaluronic acid.
2. This occurs naturally in our skin.
3. Therefore, it has a relatively low risk of allergic reaction.
4. Hyaluronic acid binds 1,000 times it weight in water, therefore, gives a plumping effect.
5. Dermal fillers are mainly used to replace lost volume when we age.

This means that the skin already had the same amount of volume under it, before we lost it with age, and even weight loss. Simply by replacing what was already under the skin will not cause the skin to sag, although, once the filler is metabolised over a period of time, the skin will go back to how it appeared before dermal filler.

In the instance where dermal filler is used for beautification – younger patients who do not have any ageing, but just want fuller lips, or higher cheekbones, the amount used will not stretch the skin.1ml of filler only takes up 1/5 of a teaspoon, so is a relatively small amount of volume. For example, 1ml is normally only used to inject both the top and the bottom lip at a time.

This means only 1/10 of a teaspoon of volume is injected to the upper and 1/10 into the lower lip. Some lips might require a little more in the top than the bottom, to create symmetry. Dermal filler breaks down over a period of time, so the skins elasticity will adapt and go back to how it was prior to injection, anyway.

Do fillers age you long term?

The mental health risks – “My problem is not the short-term complications with the temporary fillers,” adds Kennedy who says temporary fillers are not carcinogenic or “anything like that” in the long-term. “My problem is the inappropriate volumes being injected.” Not enough practitioners are taking charge and preventing patients from overdoing fillers and the result is more than a cartoonish-looking ‘trout pout’ or a frozen ‘chipmunk face’.

There are practitioners who encourage it because they have developed a distorted body image,” Kennedy explains. “This does do damage to people’s lips and cheeks and facial structure and they lose their finish and natural animation, as in movement, and they lose attractiveness. You have to be conservative and work with the soft tissues that exist and not try to create a totally different, stretched appearance and expect that skin to behave normally afterwards.” As well as stretching of the skin, excessive use of fillers can result in longer term damage including wrinkling of the lip and disturbance of the attachment of the facial fat pads and some degree of irregularity and ageing of the skin, he explains.

“It’s a compounded thing where either the injector or the patient or both gets some degree of distorted sense of norm and lose touch with normal body image.” This risk of injectables creating mental health issues is often overlooked, although it was touched on in the ASERNIP review.

“Altering physical characteristics that impart individuality, cosmetic surgery acts as a powerful force that promotes and maintains a narrow beauty ideal,” argued one submission, “The socio-culturally defined body ideals for women and men are one of the factors involved in the creation and maintenance of body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders.” It becomes a case of more is more as some people looking to make themselves as airbrushed as an Instagram filter in real life, detatch from the beautiful reality of expression and individuality.

Musgrave’s concern about fillers is less from a safety point of view and more from a cultural one. “Why would you need to do this to enhance your body? That beauty is more than not having wrinkles,” he says. Cussell says that even among her demographic, there are “people with balloon faces”.

• They don’t see it.
• They get used to their face and they want more and more.
• There’s definitely some dysmorphia,” she says.
• I was in a shop the other day and a woman was complimenting me and saying how beautiful I was and it was funny because, I’ve never heard this come out of someone’s mouth before, she said ‘oh you have nice eyes and nice lips and you look like you’ve had no work done’,” Cussell says.

“It was the oddest compliment but I guess in this day and age, when everyone is getting work done, I guess that’s a compliment to say you don’t look like you’ve had any work done.”

Are fillers safer than Botox?

Risks and side effects of dermal fillers – Dermal fillers carry the possibility of more risks and side effects than Botox. Severe side effects are rare. Moderate side effects usually go away within two weeks. However, serious adverse effects have been connected to the use of unregulated, needle-free injection devices for dermal filler procedures.

In severe cases, long-term swelling of the face might occur. Ice packs can help alleviate temporary numbness and swelling. To reduce the risk of this side effect and others, do allergy testing before getting a dermal filler if it’s recommended for the particular filler.

Are fillers better than Botox?

Few sights are more unwelcome than new wrinkles on your face, Thankfully, we live in a time where there are more remedies for facial lines and blemishes than ever before, If you’re in the market for wrinkle treatment, you might wonder how dermal fillers and Botox stack up against each other.

Does filler damage your face?

FDA warnings about unapproved fillers –

The FDA has not approved injectable silicone or any injectable fillers for body contouring or enhancement. The FDA has warned against getting filler injected into the breasts, buttocks, or spaces between the muscles. Using injectable filler for large-scale body contouring or body enhancement can lead to serious injury, including long-term pain, infection, permanent scarring or disfigurement, and even death.

The FDA has not approved needle-free devices for the injection of dermal fillers and warns against using them to inject hyaluronic acid or other lip and facial fillers. The injectors use high pressure and do not provide enough control over where filler will be placed. Serious injuries and in some cases, permanent harm to the skin, lips or eyes have occurred.

The FDA also warns against buying or using lip or facial fillers that are sold directly to the public. They are not FDA approved and may be contaminated with chemicals and infectious organisms. The only FDA-approved dermal fillers are supplied by a prescription for injection by a licensed health care professional using a syringe with a needle or a cannula (a small flexible tubing with a blunt tip that is inserted under the skin).

Do you have to keep getting fillers once you start?

Since the majority of fillers aren’t permanent, you’ll have to keep going back to the doctor’s office if you love the results following your procedure. After about six months, your body naturally breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. So, you have to get touch-ups once or twice a year to maintain the look.

Do fillers make you age slower?

Injectables and stopping the hands of time – Plastic surgeons must always shoulder the burden of managing expectations and helping clients form realistic ones. This means honestly answering the question: Can starting fillers and Botox young prevent aging from occurring? The answer is, of course, no.

They are not a fountain of youth, and while they can help delay the formation of lines and wrinkles and restore lost volume, cellular aging still occurs. Time marches on. What they do accomplish is helping patients look younger for longer. It isn’t stopping the aging process, but rather staying a few steps ahead of it.

And this isn’t meant to discount the impact preventative treatments can have. With the right approach and regular maintenance, it is possible that people can enter their 40s or 50s looking a decade or more younger than they otherwise would. They could go through their later life never looking their age.

Are facial fillers worth it?

What Are Dermal Fillers? – Our line of dermal fillers is made of a synthetic biodegradable hyaluronic acid (HA) that is similar to the natural HA produced in our bodies. Dermal fillers can also be made with calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found in our bones.

• Hyaluronic acid isn’t a substance you need to worry about — it is found naturally under our skin and won’t cause any allergic reactions.
• HA is a common ingredient in many skincare products, but the results from topical use vary.
• No anti-wrinkle cream will ever give the same results as injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin.

Dermal fillers are also known as facial fillers or cosmetic injectables. A dermal filler treatment can help to rejuvenate the skin and enhance shape or fullness in specific areas of the face. They have the bonus of reducing wrinkles, fading fine lines, reversing the loss of volume and rehydrating deeper skin layers.

Who is not a good candidate for fillers?

Who is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers? Posted March 19, 2013 in Dermal fillers are an excellent option for combatting the appearance of volume or fat loss in the face. Volume loss is an aspect of facial aging that involves the natural loss of fat in the face as we get older, which leaves us looking thinner, more tired, and with deeper fine lines and wrinkles.

1. Dermal fillers themselves are injectable substances (ranging from human fat to collagen) that can be used to plump up then or sunken areas of the face, along with deep wrinkles and expression lines, as well as recessed or pitted scars.
2. Most treatments can be done over a lunch break, and you can return to your normal day after the procedure.

So who is a good candidate for a dermal filler treatment? There is no gender or age restriction, so you can be male or female of any age. The best candidates for this or any other cosmetic procedure are non-smokers with realistic expectations of the results.

• The reason non-smokers are excellent candidates is because their bodies tend to heal faster, and because the sucking and squinting motions you make when smoking will exacerbate fine lines and wrinkles and make the results less long-lasting.
• Good candidates for dermal fillers will have moderate to severe folds or wrinkles, or other problem areas that they do not want to correct with surgery (for example, under eye circles, sunken cheeks, etc.).

The procedure is an excellent option for clients who have specific problem areas that do not extend to the rest of the face. For example, if you want to fill in nasolabial folds, but do not feel like they are extreme enough to warrant a face lift. Patients with a history of extreme allergies might not be good candidates for certain types of injectable fillers because they could lead to an allergic reaction.

1. Your plastic surgeon will go over your medical history and allergen history to determine if there is an injectable option for you that wont lead to a reaction.
2. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a consultation for dermal fillers, please call our Northern Virginia office at (703) 574-2588.

Do fillers ever look natural?

Yes, lip fillers can give you a natural-looking result. Depending on what type of dermal filler you choose and the results you want, lip fillers can give you anywhere from a natural appearance to a celebrity-like pout. Whatever look you want to achieve, it is always best to choose a highly experienced cosmetic surgeon who uses proper techniques. There are a lot of factors that go into making a lip filler look natural. One of the reasons that some patients end up with unwanted results is because their injector uses the wrong amount of dermal filler, or the provider does a bad job. To get a natural look, lip filler must be placed strategically and precisely.

• This is why it’s important to go with an injector who has proper experience and an artistic eye.
• Another key step in achieving a natural look is the type of filler used for the injection.
• There are several types of lip injections on the market, but the best ones tend to contain hyaluronic acid, which mimics a natural chemical produced by the body.

When applied properly, these injections can give you a beautiful, subtle result that lasts anywhere from 3-18 months. Dr. Miller will apply the proper amount of our FDA-approved fillers to both the bottom and top lip for a balanced, realistic result. In addition to plumping up lips, lip fillers also address:

Uneven lip shape Wrinkles around the mouth Smoker’s lines An undefined vermilion border

At Orange County Cosmetic Surgery, we use a variety of lip fillers to help achieve an enhanced, yet natural lip shape. This includes hyaluronic acid-based fillers like JUVEDERM® and Restylane®, which help add volume while keeping your lips smooth and hydrated.

Do people regret fillers?

While most patients are satisfied with the results of dermal fillers, some find the change too drastic or have other reasons and would want to undo it. Using injectables like dermal filler is not a perfect science, and some patients react differently to the treatment, which is why dissolvers exist.

What age do you start getting fillers?

The Right Age to Start Botox & Fillers Is there really a right age to start thinking about pursuing cosmetic treatments? One of the most common cosmetic questions asked is “when should I start?” The effects of the aging process vary from person to person. Many factors such as genetics, diet, exercise, proper rest, and the history of sun exposure can affect the way our individual skin ages.

There really is no “one size fits all” answer to question of “when should I start?” and there really is no age that is correct or incorrect. Dr. Kurzman offers Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin which all are botulinum toxins. Botulinum toxins block the nerve signals to the muscle in which it is injected. All are designed to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

These products temporarily make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines look better in adults. The fillers that Dr. Kurzman offers are Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Bellafill. Restylane is an injectable gel composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that already exists in the body.

• Restylane plumps the skin to smooth away wrinkles and folds such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth.
• Restylane is also used in the lips and to lessen the hollow appearance under the eyes.
• Radiesse, a calcium-based filler, stimulates your body’s natural collagen, filling in deep lines and helping your skin develop new collagen in the process.

In a diluted form, it is also used to promote collagen growth to smooth away fine lines on the face and crinkly skin on the chest, arms, and knees. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that is used to replace the volume lost in the face due to the aging process.

• The results may last for 2 years.
• Bellafill is indicated for the correction of nasolabial folds and moderate to severe facial acne scars on the cheek in patients over 21.
• Bellafill is approved for the correction of nasolabial folds and moderate to severe facial acne scars.
• Like Sculptra, it is also used to replace volume in the cheeks and temple areas, and it last up to 5 years.

Lines and wrinkles on our face occur due to the natural expressions that we make based on the muscles underlying the skin. The earlier you start with these treatments, the better the results can be. Many peoples start forming lines in their face in their twenties or thirties, so it is a good idea to start Botox and fillers at a younger age.

This will prevent new lines from forming and will prevent these existing lines from getting worse. If you do decide to start later in life, treatment is still effective in reducing lines and preventing them from worsening. As part of the natural aging process, we experience volume loss in the face and a downward movement of the soft tissue structures.

Fillers are highly effective in volumizing and lifting the aging face, as well as reducing deeper lines. Many people find fillers helpful in their thirties or forties, but younger people may benefit from fillers when used to enhance the features of their youthful face.

• Fillers can produce excellent results at any age.
• Older individuals may see more benefit by utilizing fillers under the eyes and around mouth, or anywhere there is more volume loss with age.
• If you start to notice fine lines beginning to form, feel free to start your treatments.
• If you want to prevent those earliest fine lines from becoming wrinkles, preventative Botox can be the solution.

Most people wait until they start to see wrinkles before they seek treatments, but preventative treatments treat wrinkles before they emerge. Most experts agree that patients in their mid to late twenties and thirties are at a great age to start treatments.

By injecting the muscles that typically cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows before they start developing, you are preventing them before they happen. Treatments slow down the use of those muscles, preventing lines from developing or at least delaying the development of these lines. If you are looking for the right time to start Botox or fillers, there just is no “right” time.

Earlier than starting in your mid-twenties is probably too early. Certain wrinkles are genetic, so if you notice fine lines or wrinkles in your older relatives, it is a good idea to start your treatment. When you start earlier, it helps keep the muscles weak which means you will not need as many treatments when you are older.

Do fillers work after 40?

The Best Cosmetic Procedures for Women in their 40s For many women in their 40s, the start of a new year offers us the chance to check in with our life goals or even to rebrand ourselves.

From brow tints to Botox, here are five of the best cosmetic procedures for the 40 and fierce crowd.

1. Not wanting to dive into the deep end too soon? Try a simple brow tint! As we age, our natural brows tend to thin and lighten, and the hairs we tweezed to death in our early 20s are likely gone for good.
2. Just the hint of a tint can define your brow shape, fill in sparse areas and create the illusion of thickness, framing your face perfectly.

Don’t let the needles fool you! Microneedling is the perfect gateway between facial treatments and cosmetic procedures. This treatment encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin, resulting in fewer wrinkles and fine lines and softer, younger-looking skin, not to mention a great treatment for scars and stretch marks! Dermal fillers are perfect for women in their 40s who need an extra bit of attention around their nose, lips and cheeks.

The loss of collagen and volume, gravity and sun exposure work against the natural shape of your face. Fillers plump and smooth those areas, giving your face a more youthful, relaxed look. Yes, it’s true! Botox is still top of the wishlist for women wanting to erase those fine lines and wrinkles. Whether it’s those pesky forehead furrows, or the just appeared smile lines, small doses at just the right time will create a soft, smooth look.

Botox truly is the quickest and safest way to put a touch of that youthful energy back in your smile. For those unhappy with unwanted fat around under their chin, tummy, thigh and arm area, CoolSculpting may be the perfect solution. CoolSculpting freezes fat, works best for those who don’t need or want traditional liposuction.

Even better: once that fat is gone, it’s gone for good! If fat isn’t an issue, it might be muscle tone. Cooltone is the latest FDA approved device to tone muscles of the tummy, thighs and butt. One 30-minute session is equivalent to 20,000 crunches. We would love to help you decide what treatment is best for you! to schedule a consultation today at (615) 814-2150.

Bellafill – The Only 5 Year Filler Are you looking for a way to restore natural-looking volume?

They have a smoothing and plumping effect which restores a youthful facial appearance and improves facial symmetry.

There are different types of dermal fillers used today. One commonly used filler is hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies. While these fillers are soft and natural-looking, the downside is that results are temporary, lasting 6 – 24 months depending on the type of filler and where it is injected.
