You will have an initial consultation with your dermatologic surgeon to discuss your current health and medical history, including any past treatments with injectable fillers, 面部整形, botulinum toxin injections or other facial rejuvenation procedures. Your doctor will also ask about any medications you have taken or are currently taking, including vitamin or herbal supplements and over-the-counter medications.

Your doctor will examine your skin, discuss your cosmetic goals and recommend a course of treatment. Photographs for your medical records may also be taken. We will also discuss likely outcomes of soft tissue fillers and any risks or potential complications.

过程

You will receive injections in your dermatologic surgeon's office. Before the procedure, your doctor will mark points on your face as a guide for the injections. Your face will then be cleaned with an antibacterial agent.

Some fillers contain an anesthetic agent to keep you comfortable during injections. If not, your face may be iced or you may have a topical numbing agent or local anesthetic injected. Most soft tissue fillers are well tolerated, and most patients experience minimal discomfort.

The filler is injected with a very small needle directly into the area to be treated. You may experience some stinging or burning as the filler is inserted.

A series of treatment sessions may be necessary to fill and smooth lines and wrinkles, or to raise a depressed scar to the level of surrounding skin.

Unlike older collagen products, no skin testing is required for these new soft tissue fillers.
