Hate the lines in your face, but fear surgery? Facial fillers could be the answer. A variety of modern fillers are producing natural, attractive results, with non-invasive treatments.
More and more men and women are choosing facial fillers. The newest treatments give the face more volume, while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. The procedures are quick, simple and effective.
Delay the Need for a Facelift for a Decade
People want to look younger, but they prefer techniques that are less invasive. An article on the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery website, the number of adults getting cosmetic work done increased 45 percent in recent years. And more than 75 percent of the procedures in 2010 were nonsurgical.
Experienced cosmetic surgeons are seeing impressive results with modern facial fillers. With regular treatments, patients can put off a traditional facelift for 10 years or more.
Here is a look at 4 ways that facial fillers make you look younger without surgery.
#1. Add Volume to Your Cheeks
By restoring lost volume, facial fillers can make your cheeks look more balanced and in proportion. The result is a healthy, youthful look.
When your cheeks have less volume, you look older. Your face can look gaunt and drawn. Fillers in your cheeks give your entire face a lift.
#2. Plump Up Your Lips
Your lips tend to get thinner as you age, making you look older. Lip injections using Modern fillers produce a soft and natural look that gives you a younger appearance. The effects are subtle, unlike earlier fillers used two decades ago.
#3. Get Rid of Circles Under Your Eyes
Dark circles age a person quickly, and it usually takes more than a good night’s sleep to get rid of them. Modern facial fillers are thin, perfect for the delicate tissue around your eyes. They can plump up the hollow look, giving the area a bright, firm appearance.
#4. Reduce Wrinkles
Fillers do a good job on lines that develop from loss of volume and the effects of gravity, like lines between the mouth and nose. Fillers aren’t suitable for lines made by facial movement, like those between the eyes. Botox works best on those.
The Upside and Downside of Facial Fillers
Facial fillers can make an immediate difference, giving you a more youthful, vibrant and healthy look. But they aren’t magic bullets. It’s important to realize that the effects are temporary. In most cases, they last 6 to 12 months.
After the injection, most people show a limited amount of bruising and swelling. A few patients experience an allergic reaction.
Fillers make a subtle, but definite improvement in your look, reducing lines and adding lost volume. But if the sag is too much, the effect will be limited.
The work needs to be done by a skilled surgeon, even though isn’t invasive. He understands how much to use and where to inject it to give your face a natural, youthful look. If it’s done wrong, the parts of your face can look out of proportion to each other, your profile will be off and people will notice problems with your facial contours.
