Filling
Filler applications can be performed to eliminate grooves or deep wrinkles that often lead to shading on the face. The most common areas for application include the forehead, nasolabial folds, lines around the lips, and grooves between the chin and eyebrows. Filler substances can be applied to the lips for a fuller appearance, as well as to various areas of the face for the treatment of fine lines and deep wrinkles.
Generally, two types of materials are used as fillers: fat and ready-made filler substances.
For fat filler injections, the necessary adipose tissue is obtained from the patient during surgery, usually from the abdomen or sometimes from the waist and hip areas, through liposuction (fat removal). The extracted fat is then filtered and refined during the surgery to be suitable for injection. It is injected into the desired areas according to the patient's needs. Fat injection is more advantageous compared to ready-made fillers because it is the patient's own tissue, making it more permanent. Additionally, the cells and growth factors it contains have a rejuvenating effect.
Due to the absence of allergy risks and its safer nature, we prefer temporary filler materials in ready-made fillers. The most commonly used fillers include hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite. Hyaluronic acid derivatives without animal-derived substances are naturally present in the body and provide fullness by absorbing water approximately 100 times their weight.
The effects of the procedure typically last up to one year, varying from person to person and the treated area. With regular application over time, the effects in the treated area can become permanent.
The application is extremely easy and can be done during or after surgery, in an office setting. It can be completed quickly. Since the effect is not permanent, if the results are not satisfactory, the application does not pose a permanent risk. Side effects are minimal. The person undergoing the procedure can resume their daily activities immediately after the application.
