Throughout history there have been different types of substances used to fill in furrows and wrinkles on the face, lips, cheeks and other parts of the face. From collagen, to substances not degradable by the body, which today have fallen into disuse due to the multiple complications that they could produce.
Currently, Hyaluronic Acid is used, a substance naturally present in the human body, which produces a thickening of the dermis of the skin, thereby correcting fine lines or wrinkles. There are different presentations of this substance, which are used according to the wrinkle, groove or area of the face to which you want to give volume. There are also multiple commercial brands whose base substance is Hyaluronic Acid.
The duration of this product is highly variable, and ranges from 6 months to 18 months depending on the type of presentation used.
Fat autografts have also been used, that is, fat that is obtained from the same patient and is processed and then injected into the areas where we want to promote the increase in volume. Fat is also used to fill breasts, buttocks, legs, in short, any body area to which you want to give volume. Autogenous fat lasts longer than all the fillers currently available on the market. However, it is difficult to predict the volume of fat that will remain after an infiltration, so this treatment may require new injections to achieve the desired objective.
