It is one of the most frequently performed aesthetic procedures all over the world. And this number is increasing every year. We call it Aesthetic filling procedure, which is performed by injecting the areas with structural or age-related deficiencies, especially in the facial area, such as the lips and cheeks, with various materials and various instruments such as needles or cannulas. It can generally be easily performed under local anesthesia in office conditions. Its most attractive feature is that when done under appropriate conditions, you can continue your normal life with little swelling the next day. People are very happy to see the results immediately after the application.
When we look at the filling materials, we see many types of products that can be purchased ready-made or taken from the person's own body and applied. Some of these are permanent, some are partially permanent, and some dissolve over time. The filling material we use most frequently is preparations containing hyaluronic acid. In addition, fat grafting taken from the person's own body and applying it through various processes is another favorite procedure. Fat grafting application remains in the second plan because it is a little more troublesome.
Interestingly, while some people who apply to my polyclinic for surgery may be happy with just the filler application, some people who apply for filler application can get a good result without surgery. It is not possible. Therefore, choosing the right person is important, as in every transaction. For example, after a 5-minute filling procedure performed on a patient with a thin and dull upper lip, the result can make the person very happy.
There are 3 safety points for this procedure.
It should be performed by experts and experienced people. So who are these? It should be done by doctors who are Plastic Surgery and Dermatology specialists. The directive of the Ministry of Health is in this direction. Currently, in our country, even hairdressers, let alone general practitioners who do not have expertise, perform this procedure. We are trying to correct many wrong procedures. It is important to apply the right filler to the right area. There are many filler brands, especially those containing hyaluronic acid. These fillers have different physical properties for different areas of the face. If we place the wrong filling in the wrong place, clumping and granuloma formation may occur. We may encounter permanent problems such as chronic edema, and this filling job can turn from pleasure to disaster. It is especially important to stay away from fillers of animal origin in terms of disease transmission.
Is the filler brand important? Fillers that have proven themselves and have proven to not cause major problems after long-term use should be used. Of course, such fillers are a bit expensive. Be sure to ask for information about the filler brand and features used when having this procedure done.
Should we have a permanent or dissolvable filler? So far, a permanent filling that has proven itself and does not cause problems has not been produced. Therefore, it is safer to use dissolvable fillings. Today, there are permanent fillings available, but the possibility of problems occurring especially in superficial applications is high.
In conclusion, if what I have explained above is taken into consideration, having a filling is a pleasant and safe procedure that is easy to apply, does not cause labor loss.
