Vanessa Lee: One of the biggest misconceptions about fillers is that if you do it once, you will have to do it for the rest of your life, and if you don’t, your face will fall to the floor. This is totally untrue.
Hello, this is Vanessa Lee. I am a beauty nurse and skin expert, and today I will show you how different fillers work on the face.
Essentially, fillers are volume inducers. Therefore, if your volume has been exhausted, or your face is moving down over time due to the aging process, we can use hyaluronic acid or dermal fillers to increase the volume. Most dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid. It is a sugar molecule, which naturally exists in our body and skin. Therefore, when the dermal filler is introduced into the face, your body will recognize it and it will blend smoothly. This is a slightly thinner filler that can move with you when you speak. This is a filler designed to mimic the thick tissues on the chin and cheekbones, so its accumulation effect is very good. Because it is much thinner than this kind of filling, you can see that its shape is a little different when it is unfolded, and this kind of filling here wants to stay beautiful, tall and tall.
Therefore, start your consultation with truly encouraging enthusiasm. What do they love? Then from there I can enter places that may lack balance, or where might they see their favorite features change? I would say that the most common areas requested by patients are the eyes, cheeks and lips.
Therefore, when receiving the filler on the face, the initial poking feels like plucking the eyebrows. This is a slight tingling, and then you will feel a little movement or a cool sensation underneath. Then we move on to the next location. So usually on a pain scale of 0 to 10, 10 is the most severe pain you have experienced, and most of my patients feel that the filler is about 3 in the worst case.
So, once again, work to the middle of the cheek, which will help to lift the middle of the cheek to reduce the pressure on the smile line of the nasolabial fold. At the same time, we are also indirectly treating the lower eyes. It is really interesting to watch the needle or cannula move under the skin. What the patient experiences may be a little pressure and movement sensation, or it may be a cooling sensation caused by the filler entering the tissue. But nothing more, watching the video definitely feels more daunting than it actually is.
Therefore, this area is very common for women who notice the dragging of the corners of the mouth. What I like to do is antegrade, so I inject when I’m up, usually anywhere else on the face you’ll go retrograde, and when you come out, you’ll be injected retrograde.
Here, we call it a pear shape, and these shadows appear in the corners. This lifts the sides of the nose upwards, which actually narrows the nostrils a bit. Then, just below, this is called the anterior nasal spine, which extends all the way down to the bone. When we lifted it up from below, what happened was, if you can imagine if I put my finger under her lips, we just position the nose upwards, but it’s filling underneath.
Lip injections are often the most uncomfortable injections for the entire face. Therefore, we do ensure that you get enough numbness before reaching the area to get you back to the 3 out of 10 discomfort level.
Some risks of fillers are swelling and bruising at the injection site. In addition, if any bacteria are dragged into the tissue during the injection, we are worried about the risk of infection. If the cosmetic is applied to the skin after injection and it carries any bacteria, it can enter the skin and cause infection. The other risk we worry about is very rare, but it can happen. It is called vascular occlusion, where a small amount of filler can enter the blood vessel. This usually happens by accident, but it happens when someone is too arrogant when injecting, injecting too quickly, or injecting too much in one area. If left untreated, blindness or blurred vision may occur. Therefore, even if this is a rare complication, you have to make sure that your provider has the knowledge and experience to know what to do if you have an occlusion.
After your dermal filler, you will see the effect immediately, but the effect will be better when you are fully healed after two weeks. Therefore, the care instructions after fillers are to ensure that your skin stays clean throughout the day. So really avoid touching your face and make sure you don’t put on makeup for the next two weeks and don’t put strong pressure on your face.
The price of a filler syringe ranges from US$500 to US$1,000 per syringe. If someone is doing a full-scale fluid lift, such as a complete facelift, where someone has a good recovery under the eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, and chin, it may cost between US$6,000 and US$10,000. These results can last three to four years. Now, if someone does just a little under the eyes and a little lip, the cost may be about $2,000, or maybe a little less than that. These results may last for one year, up to two years. If for some reason you are not satisfied with the filler, it can be completely dissolved, which is why we use the hyaluronic acid filler that we do use.
