What Are Filler Types?

Over time, our skin develops deep and superficial wrinkles due to gravity, environmental factors, or aging. In the lips, forehead, and cheekbone areas, volume loss occurs. The treatment applied to restore volume and eliminate wrinkles is **filler applications**. Dr. Lida Çiteli, your trusted address for medical aesthetic procedures, has explained everything you want to know about filler applications.

It is known that much better results are obtained when filler applications are combined with Botulinum Toxin. Filler applications positively affect a person's social life. Positive results begin to show immediately after the procedure, and no special care is needed. Filler applications are mostly applied to lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth, wrinkles above the lips, lines extending downwards from the corners of the lower lip, and deep scar and acne marks. Filler procedures are also used to add volume to the cheekbones, lips, and forehead area. Sometimes, low molecular weight filler can also be applied to dehydrated skin to provide moisture.

If desired, filler materials can also be obtained from the person's own fat. However, this method is not very practical for small area applications. It needs to be performed in a clinical setting. Synthetic fillers are easier to prepare and apply. They are also more advantageous in terms of price. Synthetic fillers are generally produced from long-lasting substances such as collagen, polyglycolic acid, and liquid silicone. However, the most popular filler material is hyaluronic acid because this substance, naturally found in our body, adapts more easily. It provides benefits such as cell division, joint lubrication, and giving tension to the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid moisturizes the skin thanks to its ability to retain water up to a thousand times its own weight. It can maintain its permanence for long periods at the injection point. Hyaluronic acid, which does not require an allergy test, remains effective for 6 to 12 months.

Another filler material is calcium hydroxyapatite. This substance also remains permanent for 12 to 18 months at the injection point. It is generally used in the nasolabial area, commonly referred to as smile lines, hand rejuvenation, and cheekbone areas. Since it is a very dense filler material, it is not applied in lip augmentation procedures and to individuals during pregnancy.

Filler Application
What Is It?

It is a hyaluronic acid-based procedure applied to eliminate the signs of aging caused by advancing age and environmental factors. Filler applications are used to eliminate mimic lines and deep wrinkles, reshape facial contours, and add volume to certain points. The most important advantages of filler applications are that their results are immediately visible and the operation is performed very comfortably.

What Are Filler Applications?

Filler materials obtained from substances that are fully compatible with human tissue are also known as biological fillers. We can define filler applications in three different ways:

Micro Lipoinjection

Also known as fat transplantation, this filler is obtained from fat molecules taken from the patient's body. It is often performed with fat molecules taken from the patient's abdomen and hip area. It is used to add volume to cheek depressions or around the lips.

Collagen

When collagen is injected into the human body, the immune system resists it, thus making it possible to hide wrinkles for a few months.

Tissue Cocktail

This is a type of filler material obtained from a mixture of tissues obtained from the body, typically during tummy tuck, breast reduction, or facelift surgeries. It has a more permanent and effective structure compared to other filler applications.

What Can Be Done
With Filler Applications? What Cannot Be Done?

With filler applications, it is possible to:

• Enhance facial contours
• Make thin lips fuller
• Reshape facial contour deformities
• Significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles
• Improve the appearance of indented scars.

However, for individuals with severe deformations on their skin at an advanced level, procedures such as facelifts, eyelid aesthetics, and eyebrow lifts are more effective in eliminating the signs of aging. It should be remembered that filler applications are a "temporary" treatment against facial aging and need to be repeated to provide a long-lasting effect.

Can Filler Be Applied
to Every Part of the Body?

Filler applications can be applied to any part of the body. However, if we need to list the most preferred areas:

• Over deep scars and acne marks
• To lips that have lost their plumpness
• To cheeks and cheekbones that have lost volume
• In the elimination of depressions located under the eyes

Will There Be Swelling
After a Filler Application?

There is a possibility of swelling and edema after filler applications. Therefore, it is necessary to spend the day resting after the procedure. Avoid using cosmetic products without your doctor's knowledge. Especially avoid intensely steamy environments such as hot showers, Turkish baths, or saunas.

It is beneficial to postpone hair dyeing, eyebrow shaping, or skin care routines for a week. Patients considering dental treatment are advised to do so before the filler application.

Not sleeping face down, protecting from the sun, and postponing alcohol consumption are also among the points to pay attention to after filler.

How Long Do Filler Applications
Take?

The application time varies depending on the size of the area where the procedure will be performed and the amount of filler material to be injected. However, if we need to talk about an average time, we can say it takes 15 to 45 minutes. The permanence period of filler applications is also around 9 to 18 months.

Can Filler
and Botox Be Applied Simultaneously?

Today, many men and women are looking for ways to shape their facial features and achieve a younger, more radiant appearance. Some hope to achieve these results with cosmetic products, some with medical aesthetic applications, and some with aesthetic surgery methods. Many people are also undecided about which method to apply...

Botox applications and filler applications show similarities in terms of both their effect and application method. However, it should be emphasized that the application areas of both are different. Filler applications are generally used as a wrinkle treatment method, while Botox is used to achieve a more energetic face.

It is important that both methods are performed by a physician who is an expert and experienced in their field. You can get detailed information about Botox applications and filler applications from Dr. Lida Çiteli.
