Cosmetic Surgeries for the Seasons
Have you been thinking about getting dermal fillers? Perhaps you have had Botox treatments in the past, but your practitioner is now recommending fillers for a certain area. Maybe you feel that your face is looking a bit older, and you think that fillers could be the answer. Here are a few important facts that you should know before you go in for your treatment.
Fillers Are Not the Same as Botox
Both fillers and Botox are minimally invasive treatments used to treat lines and wrinkles on the face. However, while Botox is used for fine lines that form when you are moving your face, dermal fillers work best on deeper lines that do not go away when your face is at rest.
They Are Not Permanent
Dermal fillers may be able to put off your need for facial surgery, but you will have to have these injections regularly if you want to continue seeing good results. Although fillers last longer than Botox does, most begin fading away in 6 to 24 months.
Different Areas React Differently to Them
The length of time that any type of filler will last on your face is directly related to how your body metabolizes the filler and where the filler is placed. For example, the most mobile areas of your face will need filler most frequently. Therefore, plan on having treatments more frequently for your lips and cheeks rather than for your nose and chin.
Many Can Be Reversed
While fillers can last for quite a while depending on the type you choose, you may not be as thrilled with your results as you thought you would be. Many fillers can be reversed if you change your mind, but be sure to choose a provider experienced with this procedure. Normally, revision only requires a few simple injections.
The Provider You Choose Matters
If you want truly natural results from your fillers, you must choose your cosmetic provider with care. Do not fall prey to the lie that you can get great results at a day spa. Instead, choose an expert who has plenty of experience, who is licensed to perform cosmetic surgeries and similar treatments and who has an eye for the natural symmetry and beauty of the face.
In Newport Beach, choose Dr. Tavoussi who has nearly 25 years of experience in cosmetic surgery.
