OVERVIEW

Dermal fillers, also known as injectable implants, soft tissue fillers, or wrinkle fillers are approved by the FDA for use in helping to create a smoother and/or fuller appearance in the face, including nasolabial folds (the lines extending from the sides of the nose to the edges of the mouth), cheeks, chin, lips, and back of the hands.

Most dermal fillers are naturally absorbed over time, patients may need to repeat the procedure after some time to maintain the desired effect. Successful results will depend on the underlying tissue structure and the volume and type of filler used. The time that the effect lasts depends on the filler (ie Voluma versus Juvederm vs Scultpra) and the location of the injection (ie nasolabial fold versus cheek versus lip).

RECOVERY

Dermal fillers, also known as injectable implants, soft tissue fillers, or wrinkle fillers are injected in the areas of most pronounced deficiency. These areas need to be monitored for temporary side effects, permanent side effects, or both. Most side effects associated with dermal fillers occur shortly after injection and many resolve in a few weeks. Swelling and pain after hand treatment may last a month or longer. In some cases, side effects from a dermal filler injection may appear weeks, months, or years after injection.

Common side effect include but not limited to: bruising, redness, swelling, pain at injection site, and/or rash.

Patients are advised not to rub the area or exercise for 6 hours.

Over time, the effects of soft tissue fillers is overcome by the body tissues. The time for these results to be lost, will vary from 6 months to 2 years depending on the filler.

Dr. Edgar Sosa will continue to follow you to ensure proper placement of soft tissue filler and satisfactory results.

For optimal results, always select a board-certified plastic surgeon. Surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery have undergone extensive training in the field of both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery.
