Favorite & Best Dermal Fillers
People often ask which filler is the best.I respond by saying all filers are the best.The two most important considerations when using a filler are the INDICATIONS and the FILLER (person injecting the product).I explain using the following analogy.If one gives ten individuals a can of paint and a brush, which one is going to produce the best results? The patient smiles as they realize the point.
I use a practical approach for sculpting the face.First I evaluate the bony structures and characteristics.Second, I calculate the degree of change for the most age appropriate rejuvenation.As one ages, a youthful face loses its triangular shape (two prominent cheek bones with a chiseled chin as the base) as it becomes more trapezoidal.In addition, bone density diminishes in the forehead, cheek bones, and chin.This is followed by fat atrophy in almost all compartments of the face resulting in skin laxity.Finally, the skin above the upper lip moves into the mouth; the cheeks collapse; and the chin moves posteriorly.
With all the changes taking place simultaneously, it is essential to return balance and symmetry to these structures.Simply injecting a syringe of Restylane into the lips or smile lines is Not going to produce the best results.Unfortunately, an individual receiving this type of injection therapy does not appear natural.
While there are a plethora of fillers on the market such as Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane, Evolence, Radiesse, Silicone, Sculptra, and Artecol, each fillers has its highest and best use.If you desire a pleasing and natural age appropriate result, I encourage you to visit a physician who understands facial cranial anatomy; the differences among each product; the proper injection depth and technique; and the various features that make a face compelling.
The filler is an important part of the treatment regimen, but the FILLER directing the treatment determines whether or not the end result is natural and elegant.
