Tissue Plumping with Dermal Facial Fillers
Underlying
tissues that keep skin youthful and plumped may break down, leaving lines or deep
creases on the face where extensive muscle movement occurs. This may lead to a
prematurely aged appearance.
Surgical
intervention with the most advanced and proven injectable soft-tissue fillers such
as Restylane® and Radiesse® (formerly “Radiance FN”), or with fat taken from
other areas of the body, can help fill in lines and creases, temporarily
restoring a smoother, fuller, more balanced look and youthful firmness. These
tiny yet potent injections fill in crevices formed by wrinkles and deep laugh
or smile lines, vertical lip lines and frown lines; add fullness to lips; or
redefine the lip border.
Increasingly, these techniques can also plump up
sunken areas of the face, such as cheeks, to restore or recreate the shape of
the face itself, which may flatten with age. Tissue-plumping techniques may be
recommended as part of a facial cosmetic surgery plan or in conjunction with
dermatological skin-care procedures such as medical peels, microdermabrasion and
laser skin resurfacing, depending on the aesthetic goals.
