Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Wrinkle Correction and Volume Addition

Hyaluronic acid is a component of the skin responsible for hydration, elasticity, and a healthy appearance. As we age, its levels decrease, leading to dehydration, loss of skin firmness, and increased wrinkles. With hyaluronic acid fillers, we can impressively restore lost volume and hydration with long-lasting results!

Where are hyaluronic acid fillers applied?

Hyaluronic acid derivatives are the latest generation of fillers; they are not of animal origin, thus do not cause allergies. Their primary uses include treating wrinkles between the eyebrows, deep nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines on the upper lip, and addressing neck wrinkles and sagging… before surgery. Additionally, hyaluronic acid helps enhance “thinned” cheekbones, increase the contour and volume of the lips, and add volume to the chin (in cases of a small or underdeveloped chin).

Another popular application is injecting hyaluronic acid into the nose to correct minor aesthetic issues such as a small hump, mild scoliosis on the ridge, a “drooping tip,” or minor imperfections from previous rhinoplasty (liquid rhinoplasty). Correcting the tear trough, eliminating dark circles, and improving the tired appearance caused by small fat “bags” are further benefits that hyaluronic acid offers for our face.

Moreover, applying hyaluronic acid to key points of the face can achieve a facelift without surgery, as it eliminates signs of dehydration and skin sagging.

How can I be sure about the suitability of the injectable material?

Given the variety of hyaluronic acid products on the market with different brand names, ensure the quality of the material used in your case. Certified materials from internationally recognized brands, tested over time, excel in safety and durability of results. The plastic surgeon should provide you with the label of the material used in your case.

How are hyaluronic acid fillers applied?

It is applied using a fine needle or cannula to the areas of the face needing improvement. The new technology safe type of hyaluronic acid is injected, which does not cause significant swelling or puffiness. The choice of injection areas and the depth at which hyaluronic acid will reach vary depending on the severity of the problem and your aesthetic needs.

Although the procedure does not cause pain, it is performed with an anesthetic cream to minimize even the slightest sensation of discomfort. Any local irritation at the injection sites subsides within the first 24 hours.

What should I watch for after hyaluronic acid fillers?

You can immediately return to your daily activities by following your doctor’s personalized instructions. Generally, avoid actions that may cause irritation at the injection sites for the first few hours.

How long does the result last?

The action duration of hyaluronic acid fillers is around 12 months. It can also be combined with injectable botulinum toxin for better and longer-lasting results on deep wrinkles between the eyebrows and horizontal forehead wrinkles.

Why choose a plastic surgeon for hyaluronic acid fillers?

Since the injection is fully personalized, choosing an experienced plastic surgeon who deeply understands facial anatomy ensures a safe and perfect application. This prevents complications such as hematomas from ignorance of blood vessel pathways or a stigmatized appearance, such as “duck lips,” caused by poor application in the lip area. Plastic Surgeon in Athens Aris Damagas, with excellent knowledge of anatomy, can successfully apply injectable hyaluronic acid and prevent possible complications.
