Some people have full cheeks, smooth skin, plump lips naturally, while others get a little guide from their dermatologists with the help of dermal fillers. The latest injectable treatments are easy to get, long lasting and are designed to give people that natural beautiful look. They're also perfectly safe, provided you've done your homework and go to a reputable doctor.

Different types of dermal fillers are designed to treat varying signs of aging. Depending on the filler selected, they may:

• plump up thinning lips
• enhance or fill in shallow areas on the face
• decrease or remove the shadow or wrinkle under the eyes caused by the lower eyelid
• fill in or soften the look of recessed scars
• fill in or soften static wrinkles, especially on the lower face

Static wrinkles include those around the mouth and along the cheeks. These wrinkles are usually a result of a loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin.

When shaping, defining and volumizing your face, it’s important to devise an individualized treatment plan that best suits you and your ultimate goals. A meticulous and methodical sculptor, Dr Jyoti Gupta selects the fillers and techniques that will produce the specific results you desire. Dr Jyoti Gupta believes in creating a natural look and treat full face as one entity. She uses fillers around all areas of the face from fine lines of forehead, under eye hollows, cheek enhancement, to soften smile lines, lip lines, chin creases, and marionette lines—all while maintaining a natural look. Every practitioner has different philosophies, techniques, and levels of experience. Be sure you and your physician communicate about realistic results and your expectations—it's your face, after all.

Dermal filler treatment is effective for aging skin which cannot be cured by skin care products. Factors like age, fat loss, gravity, sun damage, etc. adversely affect the skin. So, dermal filler is effective in giving a natural and youthful look to the skin.

Fat Filler

The fat under the skin acts as padding and gives volume, shape, and smoothness to our body. With aging, the volume of fat decreases and our body, especially the face, neck, and hands lose the suppleness of youth. Several fillers are available but fat is one of the best soft tissue filler material. Fat can be taken from one part of the body (most commonly - thighs, waist, and stomach) and injected into another. It can be used to smoothen frown lines on the forehead or fill in other sagging parts of face or hands. Fat Filler can be done in many areas and can be used for wrinkles, acne scars, accidental scars/defects, hollow eyes, sunken cheeks, facial asymmetry, paralyzed cheek, lips, chin, forehead & neck.

The advantage of using fat as filler is that it is natural, as harvested from your own body and stays for very long time.

Do fillers make you age faster? Do fillers make you look younger? Do fillers ruin your face? Will fillers make my face look fat?

One of the reasons injectable hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers are increasingly popular is their ability to add volume and decrease wrinkles with a single visit to the doctor.

Hyaluronic acid based injections stimulate collagen production, leading to fresher-looking skin in the long run. If done by an expert dermatologist, fillers can make your face look naturally slim. But, if done by an inexpert, fillers can even give a voluminous look, which can make your face look really fat. Always remember to consult a board certified dermatologist with enough experience in fillers, who can guide you for the best.

How long will dermal fillers last? Which filler lasts longer?

The results of Derma fillers which are majorly hyaluronic acid based (also the only approved fillers in India) lasts for 6 months to 2 years depending on the area on which filler is done. For example: lips and undereye area fillers will have a shorter retention of up to 9-12 months while nose and cheeks can stay for up to 18-24 months. The other fillers not approved in India can last longer.

What age should I get fillers?

There is no age limit for you to get fillers done. One can start as early as 18 years of age to get that beautiful and perfect looking face and to stop the effects of aging. One can also get fillers done at the age of 70 after seeing their lines of wrinkles. Though there is absolutely no need to go running out for fillers before you even see your first wrinkle, people are starting treatments younger than ever before. Looking at our patient population, there's no question that those who started earlier with small amounts are aging differently than people who didn’t. It’s much better to play the game of prevention than the game of correction. If you're unhappy with the way filler looks, don't panic—in most cases, you can have it adjusted. A dermatologist might inject additional filler for balance, or she can dissolve it altogether. The most wonderful thing about hyaluronic acid fillers is that there's an enzyme that can be injected into the area to dissolve the product.

How much do dermal fillers cost in India?

The cost of 1 ml of Hyaluronic acid filler is about 300 USD to 700 USD.

Are fillers safer than Botox?

Botox freezes muscles to stop creases and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. These are typically found in the upper face, such as the forehead and around the eyes. On the other hand, dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid and similar substances to “fill in” or plump areas that have lost volume and smoothness. This includes wrinkles around the mouth, thin lips, and cheeks that have lost fullness. They may also be used on forehead wrinkles, scars, and other areas that need extra volume for a smoother look. In Dr Jyoti Gupta experience, both of these are wonderful treatment with no side effects if done by an experienced dermatologist.

Takeaway

People should discuss what fillers can realistically do for their appearance after a proper consultation with a board certified dermatologist. One should give a lot of time, care and scrutiny to these procedures just as they would give in a surgical treatment. Even though this is a medical treatment, this procedure can change the way you look if done by an unprofessional. Using a qualified medical provider, such as a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or cosmetic surgeon helps ensure the procedure is done safely and properly. People should discuss the provider’s experience and training in dermal fillers before making a decision.
