Filler injection is currently one of the aesthetic methods trusted by many women to meet their beauty needs. However, not everyone knows what filler is, as well as some other things to know about filler injection methods. Take a look at the following article by Reconstructive Surgery SMC to equip yourself with that necessary knowledge.

What is Filler?

Filler is one of the substances used for beauty without the need for invasive surgery, bringing high efficiency and safety to people.

This is another name for a filler – a substance whose main ingredient is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is known for its superior water retention capacity, it is located in the dermis of the skin, not only helps bring elasticity, limits wrinkles but also effectively lubricates the musculoskeletal system.

Hyaluronic acid exists in all cells, but most abundantly in certain locations such as the skin around the lips, eyes, connective tissue, bones, cartilage, etc. Normally, each of our bodies has the ability to synthesize this acid naturally, but over time, due to age and some other factors, this ability is diminished.

This will cause the skin surface to become wrinkled, less firm and bright. Therefore, filler with the main ingredient being hyaluronic acid will be injected into certain locations to fill in wrinkles and furrows, making the skin plump and healthy.

This is also the basic difference between filler and botox. Although both are non-invasive cosmetic methods, botox mainly inhibits the formation and appearance of wrinkles, while filler fills them.

Effects and applications of filler

For the skin, when injecting filler, the skin will be smoother, rosy, become younger and more vibrant. Therefore, filler will be injected into positions on the face such as: smile lines, crow’s feet, erase wrinkles on the lips, etc.

However, its application is more than that, which is:

• Shaping, changing some points, for example: creating high cheekbones, making sunken cheeks become fuller, filling the temples, creating thick lips, raising and slimming the nose, shaping the chin,…
• Injecting into other parts of the body, for example: into the hands to overcome the thin and bony condition, correct crooked knees, help straighten legs,… Not only women, many men also use filler injections to get a bigger nose, thicker ears with the desire to improve feng shui.

Is filler injection safe?

Having a beautiful appearance is something that almost everyone wishes for. Therefore, nowadays, finding aesthetic methods is being interested by many people. Compared to cosmetic surgery, filler injections may be chosen by more people because of their wide application, fast implementation time, and non-invasiveness, so recovery is also faster.

Filler has been researched and manufactured with ingredients that are almost completely compatible with the body for safety. Moreover, it can dissolve itself, and is eliminated from the body after a while.

However, many people have encountered complications such as: deviation, stiffness, non-dissolution, scarring, more dangerously blindness, necrosis, infection and even death.

So, what could be the cause of this situation?

Due to the quality of the filler

This is one of the first common causes leading to the above conditions. Currently, on the market, there are many types of fillers that do not guarantee quality, have not been medically certified but are still circulating publicly. Many people, for profit, have taken advantage of the psychology of customers who have poor knowledge or low income, leading to unfortunate consequences.

Due to the qualifications of the performer

With this cause, two cases may occur:

• For those who are not properly trained, often practice in spas, cosmetic hospitals that have not been verified for quality, have not been licensed, even in barbershops, hair salons or beauty establishments at home. If they also use poor quality fillers, the consequences will be unpredictable.
• The second case is those who do not have much experience, so when performing, the injection may be too shallow or too deep, causing the filler to not be effective. Even when injected directly into an artery, it can cause anterior chamber hemorrhage or blindness.

Some other causes include: the condition of the facility is not guaranteed to be sterile according to medical standards, overdose injection. There are also cases where patients are allergic to the ingredients of the injection but are not carefully checked and tested, leading to reactions.

How to use filler safely and effectively?

Along with the question of what filler is, how to use filler to achieve high safety and effectiveness is also something we need to care about.

Equip basic knowledge

Before using any method, you need to equip yourself with basic knowledge. With fillers, in addition to the content of what filler is, you should know that this is not a permanent beauty method because they will be eliminated from the body within a certain period of time.

Seek expert advice

Not all cases can use fillers. Although it is very effective in filling or erasing wrinkles, in adjusting the shape, such as the nose, filler is only performed in cases with few defects. For cases with many defects or wanting to completely change, the filler does not meet.

Along with that, people with allergies are also not allowed to apply this method.

Find a reputable and quality facility

Whether invasive or non-invasive, they also have certain effects on the body. Therefore, it needs to be done carefully, meeting technical requirements and ensuring quality. You should go to reputable facilities to be consulted, indicated and implemented by a team of doctors and experts, both safe for your health and ensuring effectiveness to help yourself become more beautiful.
