Restore lost volume
As a person ages, the volume of fat and soft tissue in the cheeks and midface decreases, often giving a sunken or hollow appearance. Sagging of tissue also emphasizes facial folds around the eyes, cheeks, and lips. To restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples, and nasolabial folds, fillers including hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Restylane Lyft), polylactic acid (Sculptra), and calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse) are often used. Various fillers can also be used to enhance the appearance of the aging or atrophic lips, by restoring or creating fullness.
Manufacturers have manipulated particle size (thickness) and crosslinked molecules to offer both normal and longer duration products, as well as recently adding lidocaine to some products to dramatically decrease the pain of injection. The procedures are performed in the office following the application of topical or local anesthetic and have the immediate volumizing effects with very minimal downtime.
The use of injectable facial fillers is one of the fastest growing areas in the field of cosmetic surgery. Significant advances in have been recently made, resulting in the production of safer, more predictable and longer lasting fillers. Talk to one of our doctors about your options.
