Why do people with fillers look puffy?
A filler is a substance that fills a hole, a gap where something is missing. Fillers are used for both aesthetic and medical reasons. What is a filler and why do people with fillers look puffy?
What can be filled with a filler?
They can be used to fill facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, injected into the area between the eyebrows, correct post acne scars, change the shape of the lips, and make a smile when the lip drops. For example, a person begins to have a drooping corner of the mouth, and we can raise it with a filler, not with a toxin. This technique is called the Mona Lisa Smile. The indications for fillers are completely different, you can fill in anything, anywhere and any way you want. Even flabby earlobes can be filled and the shape of the nose can be corrected.
In this article we are talking only about the safe fillers. These products are based on stabilized hyaluronic acid or a mixture of stabilized and non-stabilized hyaluronic acid. They are safe because they are 100% excreted, resorbed and have no irreversible side effects.
What fillers can harm the skin?
All the others. For example, a synthetic filler, the same biopolymer gel – it is also a filler, but it does not resorb in the skin and can, for example, from the nasolabial folds migrate to the chin and distort your face. On the market now quite a large number of fillers. On this basis, you should understand that before you inject a filler, it is necessary to contact a specialist – a doctor who competently explains what filler is right for you.
All non-hyaluronic fillers have a place, they are good, excellent. But you need to know in what situation and how to use them. If you get a hyaluronic filler injected, there will be no harm, because any doctor can cure the effects. But if they inject a filler of another nature, then in this situation there can be complications that will be treated only in clinical conditions, only by doctors, not only dermatologists and cosmetologists, but also by surgeons.
Fillers add volume, so if used improperly they can cause volume in places where you don’t want it. But to do that, they need to be injected in those places. If you think your cheeks got bigger after fillers, this will change over time, because fillers dissolve completely in the human body. There is another, faster way to get rid of your fillers.
Is it possible to quickly eliminate the effect of the filler?
Yes, we can inject the enzyme hyaluronidase, it is sold in ampoules. For example, there is a woman who had her lips enlarged with hyaluronic acid filler. The next day she comes in crying that she doesn’t like the result, and the specialist can inject the hyaluronidase enzyme – and that’s it, in the evening she will forget that she used the filler yesterday.
