FİLLER PROCEDURE

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF FILLERS APPLIED TO THE FACE?

Facial fillers are materials that are injected under the skin to add volume, reduce wrinkles or shape certain areas. Fillers are usually made of substances such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, polylactic acid or fat. Here are some types of fillers applied to the face:

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component of the skin and creates volume by retaining water in the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used for procedures such as nasolabial folds, lip volume enhancement, cheek plumping and correction of fine lines. Such fillers usually have a temporary effect and results can last between 6 and 18 months.

Calcium Hydroxyapatite Fillers: These types of fillers contain a mineral compound called calcium hydroxyapatite when injected under the skin. These fillers are often used for procedures that smooth deep wrinkles, facial contours and tighten the skin. Results can last 12 to 18 months.

Polylactic Acid Fillers: Polylactic acid is a substance that stimulates the skin's collagen production. These fillers are often used to improve the contour of the face and smooth deep wrinkles. The results become more noticeable over time and usually require several sessions.

Fat Injections: In this method, fat is taken from the patient's own body and injected into certain areas of the face. It is usually used for procedures that correct facial contours, fill hollows and provide volume. The results may be permanent, but some of the fat may be absorbed.

WHAT SHOULD WE PAY ATTENTION TO AFTER FILLER APPLICATION?

There are some important points you should pay attention to after filler treatment. Following these recommendations can ensure that the procedure is effective and minimize possible complications. Here are some points you should pay attention to after filler treatment:

Rest for the First Few Hours: You should avoid excessive physical activity for the first few hours after the filler treatment. Resting helps you observe your body's reaction after the procedure.

Cold Application After the Procedure: There may be swelling or redness at the injection site. To alleviate this condition, you can apply a cold compress as recommended by your doctor.

Avoid Makeup for the First Few Days: You should avoid applying makeup for the first few days after treatment. This will help you avoid putting unnecessary pressure on the injection sites.

Avoid Extreme Heat and Sun: You should avoid extremely hot or sunny areas after filler treatment. Heat or sun can irritate your skin.

Medication Use: You should use the medicines or creams recommended by your doctor regularly. Medicines can often help reduce swelling or provide relief.

Alcohol and Smoking: It is recommended that you limit your alcohol consumption and try not to smoke after filler treatment. These habits can negatively affect the healing process of the skin.

Follow-up Check-ups: You should regularly attend the follow-up visits recommended by your doctor and evaluate the results of the treatment.

Waiting for Maximum Results: It may take a few days for the result of the filler treatment to become fully apparent. The effect of the treatment may vary depending on the injected substance and the treated area.

Facial Numbness: After the filler treatment, you may temporarily experience a slight numbness in the injected area. This is normal and usually passes in a short time.

WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF FILLERS?

Fillers are usually performed safely and effectively, but as with any medical procedure, there are possible side effects. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, but sometimes more serious reactions can occur. Here are the possible side effects of fillers:

Bruising, Swelling or Redness at the Injection Site: Mild bruising, swelling or redness may occur at the injection sites. This is usually short-term and temporary.

Allergic Reactions: Allergic reactions to fillers may rarely develop. If symptoms such as itching, redness, swelling or rash appear on the skin, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Infection: Any injection procedure carries a risk of infection. If you notice signs of infection (redness, inflammation, pain, fever) after the procedure, you should contact your doctor immediately.

Asymmetry or Irregular Results: Undesirable asymmetry or uneven results may occur after the application. Therefore, it is important that an experienced doctor applies it correctly.

Tissue Loss: Rarely, tissue loss may occur after filler application. The risk of this situation can be reduced with the correct injection technique and appropriate filler material selection.

Sensory Changes: After the application, numbness, tingling or tenderness may temporarily occur at the injection site.

Sensory Changes: Temporary numbness, tingling or tenderness at the injection site may be experienced after the application.

Softness at the Injection Site: While the filler is settling into place, a slight softness may occur at the injection site. This is usually a short-term condition.

Overfilling or Deformity: Overfilling or deformities may occur as a result of using too much filler or injecting in the wrong areas during the application.

Thrombosis: Rarely, thrombosis (clot formation) may develop in the blood vessels after injection.

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you notice any adverse reactions, you should contact your doctor immediately. Before having fillers, it is important to have a detailed discussion with your doctor about risk-free and beneficial results.
