"The most dangerous place for filler is the forehead, nose, and temples as these have the highest risks of tissue necrosis and blindness," says Paul Nassif, MD, and celebrity plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
Areas such as lips and nasolabial folds tend to be the most painful because those areas have more nerves running through them. Cheeks, tear troughs, chin and jaw line tend to be less uncomfortable. Some redness, swelling and discomfort can be expected after receiving fillers.
The nasolabial grooves (lines between the corner of the nose & mouth): Another highly vascular area where the facial artery runs very close to the surface. Because of this, the filler must be injected deeply, as inadvertently entering this artery could cause damage to the vessel and/or to the side or top of the nose.
Cheek filler is a low-risk procedure, but complications may include: Bleeding. Bruising. Bumps that look like acne.
Hyaluronic acid based products are considered one of the safest in dermal fillers, particularly those made from synthesized HA, which is made in bacteria instead of using human or animal tissue.
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.
The classical three main dangerous anatomical zones for filler injections referenced in the literature are the glabella and forehead, nasal and labial areas. The understanding of 3D-anatomy is essential to avoid vascular complications.
Treating with 1ml at a time is certainly appropriate for some areas, such as volumising lips or having smaller tweakments into other areas of the face. Sometimes, however, more than 1ml may be required – in the cheeks, for example – as 1ml may not make a discernible difference.
Most commonly, it results in neurapraxia, but injury to a nerve branch may cause localized anesthesia. Most common site for paresthesia is the infraorbital nerve when it gets compressed by tight filler injection in the vicinity, or from excessive molding into the foramen.
Strong definition is often attained when dermal cheek filler is applied above the cheekbones. But it can also be inserted into the fat pads of the submalar and anteromedial regions below the cheek edge to replenish volume in depressed areas and flatten out nasolabial lines.
Dermal fillers may not be appropriate for people with certain conditions, such as bleeding disorders or some allergies. If your health care provider confirms that dermal fillers are an option for you, know that all medical products have benefits and risks.
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.
You may experience mild pain at your injection sites. The pain should go away after 12 to 24 hours.
Moderate pain, tenderness, and redness are also normal for a few days following your injection. To reduce the possibility of swelling, avoid salty foods alcohol and exercise on the day of your treatment. Swelling may increase on the second or third day before it resolves.
The injection itself feels kind of like a splinter, but if it's done properly, the pain should go away right away. The lips may swell a little for a few hours after the procedure. It can feel a bit unsettling, but it should never be painful.
After receiving dermal fillers, the cheeks may appear red and swollen which is normal and expected. To reduce swelling at home, you can apply ice to help reduce any mild discomfort. If you also experience bruising, using arnica products can help relieve this.
This filler works naturally, much like the hyaluronic acid your body already produces. Because it works this way, it takes two to three weeks to fully settle into your skin. This means that while you'll see an immediate improvement, you won't see your final results right away.
It is not uncommon to experience a small degree of asymmetry immediately post-treatment due to the potential for swelling and bruising. Juvederm can take up to 4 weeks to integrate, so it is best to wait and review in 2-4 weeks with your Injector at which point you will have a better idea of the final result.
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.
When injected incorrectly, facial fillers pose the risk of entering the bloodstream or blocking arteries and cutting off oxygen and nutrients to the skin—a condition called vascular occlusion. Vascular occlusion is typically mild, resulting in skin redness (erythema) or bruising around the injection site.
In speech, they usually indicate the speaker is thinking about what to say next, while in writing they're often clichés or padding. In most cases, filler words have a negative effect and reflect poorly on your communication skills. But because they come out unconsciously, they can be hard to, you know, stop.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
Although dermal fillers are generally thought to be safe, all foreign materials have potential ability to cause adverse reactions. HA is composed of polysaccharides and has same structure in all species; therefore, the risks of an implant rejection or an immune response are low.
