Injection of filler

The four major structural components of our face are skin, fat, muscle, and bone. As we age, volume loss in these structures contributes to many of the visible signs of aging. Dermal fillers can help to compensate and refill these areas.

Preprocedure care:

.In order to speed up the healing process, it is better for a person to refrain from taking aspirin, vitamin E, garlic, ginseng and smoking for a week before the injection. Also, avoid taking profen and alcohol for two days before the injection.

The need to inject how many syringes of filler may vary from person to person, for example, one mL of Fillermay be enough for small or normal lip volume in small lips, but for large lips or people looking for a fancy result. A natural result requires 2 cc of filler, and for cheeks or angulation, a natural result of at least 4 mL is required. Know that not every lip shape can be created for everyone because the lip model is different in a person and not every lip shape is suitable for every face.

In some cases, Filler injections alone may not be enough for the expected result, and other tasks such as Botox injections or laser rejuvenation or fractional RF or even lifting may be necessary.

Post procedure care

Do not use the sauna and steam bath for 10 days. Minimize salt intake for up to 10 days.

Sporidex 500 mg every 6 hours until 5 days can be used after injection to prevent any risk of infection.The amount of swelling varies from person to person and is especially high in the morning. Useantihistamines if it is itchy.If you have a history of recurrent herpes, take acyclovir 400 mg every 12 hours for 5 days.

Do not touch or manipulate the injection site for up to three days. If injected into the cheek or laugh line, it is better to sleep on your back for the first three days. Avoid bending over at home for the first few days.To reduce facial swelling when resting, keep your head higher than usual. Avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks. It is better to avoid aerobic exercise for 24 hours.During the first 4 weeks after the injection, small pimples may form that are transient and gradually disappear.Up to three days after filler injection, a cold compress helps reduce swelling. Fresh pineapple contains bromelain and vitamin C, which is effective in accelerating the absorption of bruises and inflammation, and the more it is consumed, the better. For the first 24 hours after the injection, avoid excessive exposure to the sun or extreme heat, and drink alcohol to reduce the chance of temporary redness, swelling, and itching at the injection site. Redness, swelling, and bruising may occur at the injection site, and this is more common with lip injections, which may take up to a week to 10 days.

Remember that the current volume of the lip or any injection site is associated with swelling, and this swelling may increase over the next few days. The final result or actual volume will be known after at least one to two weeks, so do not rush to judge the actual volume or final result. Slight asymmetry after injection is normal and does not require special action, but in case of significant asymmetry, refer for touch up after two weeks. Usually, it is tried not to do more than the required injection, but in most cases, after one to two weeks and after the actual result is determined, a larger volume of filler is needed, which is done by paying the re-injection fee, and this amount only includes thecost of filler itself.The shelf life of the filler is usually one year, but it depends on several factors in different people and is not comparable to other people. This means that in one person the shelf life may be more than two years and in another person no more than six months. Usually, the injection of standard filler does not cause any side effects, but the possible side effects are swelling, infection, allergic reaction, and redness.
