Dermal Fillers R & P*

Dermal fillers are a cosmetic surgery procedure that smooth’s out facial wrinkles and folds to create a more natural, youthful appearance. Cosmetic dermal fillers R and P are made from a clear gel that is composed from naturally found skin substances. The dermal filler injections are inserted into the treatment area and are a popular cosmetic surgery procedure for the treatment of:

• Wrinkle correction
• Lip enhancement
• Deep facial folds (around the mouth, nose and mouth corners)
• Facial shaping (cheek enhancement, nose shaping, chin shaping)
• Smile lines and thin superficial lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead

These cosmetic fillers contain hyaluronic acid which enables water to be bound to the skin resulting in a lifting and restoring of the skins natural volume and elasticity. The fillers hyaluronic acid works with the body’s natural hyaluronic acid to create a more natural result as opposed to other wrinkle injections.

Your own Fat as a Filler.

The use of Dermal Fillers to reverse signs of facial ageing is very popular. Currently there are many off the shelf fillers that are very good. But they are temporary and need replacing every 12 months.  Using your own fat as a filler is very appealing for 2 reasons. It your own tissue, it is in abundance and has the potential to be permanent. Fat can be used to restore facial volume depletion associated with ageing.

BENEFITS OF FAT TRANSFER

Longer -lasting compared to Dermal Fillers
Cost Effective when combined with other surgical procedures and when large volume loss needs correction
No risk of allergy

DISADVANTAGES OF FAT TRANSFER

Not all the transferred fat survives, 30 – 50% gets absorbed over time
The longevity of fat survival is not known

TECHNIQUE

Fat from the abdomen around the Umbilicus (belly button) is the preferred because fat cells from here are less likely to be absorbed. Modern techniques and specialized instruments to harvest and inject fat have improved the results .
Deep volume injections usually yield the best result. Fat Transfer can be used as a stand alone procedure or as a useful adjunct to eyelid surgery, facelift or midlface lift.
