INJECTABLE FILLERS (PURAGEN, PREVELLE, RESTYLANE, RADIESSE) AND FAT INJECTION

 

Injectable fillers and fat injection are used to fill the facial wrinkles and to enhance the lip line (lips augmentation).

Appropriately recommended pharmaceutical filler substance as hyaluronic acid (Puragen, Prevelle, Restylane), calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) or one’s own fat is injected below the skin surface to fill hollow areas and creases, or plump the lips and back of the hands. Fat is typically taken by liposuction from the thigh or abdomen.

Swelling dissapears in 2-5 days or 1-2 weeks with fat injection. The results last from a few months to several years, depending on the filler used, treatment site and individual patient factors.
