What are the facial fillers

Many people have flat faces, which look unthree-dimensional and without any complexion. So in order to change this situation, many people choose to have facial fillers. Facial fillers are to fill fat from other parts of the body into the face to raise the apple muscles, plump the forehead, pad the chin, etc., to make the face look fuller and more three-dimensional. The overall appearance will also be improved. Many parts of the face can be filled. Let’s take a look at what facial fillers are available.

Facial fat grafting involves removing excess fat from the abdomen or thighs, processing it, and then transplanting it to the area where it is needed. People with sunken temples or upper eyelids or deep cheeks appear old and can easily give people a fierce impression. Facial fat grafting can achieve very good results.

Eyelid hollow filling

Upper and lower eyelid sunken refers to the incompleteness and atrophy of the soft tissue between the upper and lower eyelids and the orbital rim, which causes varying degrees of depression in the eye sockets. According to observations, more than one-third of people will experience atrophy of upper eyelid fat after entering middle age. Symptoms include heavy eyelids, tired and dry eyes in the evening. Some people begin to experience such changes in their twenties due to physical constitution or genetics.

Aesthetically, sunken eyelids can make you look old and listless, and can sometimes give you a serious, daunting feeling. In physiognomy, this is the location of the so-called "Palace of Land and House". Only when this part is full and moist can one have good "land and house fortune".

In the past, sunken eyelids were difficult to correct because the problem was due to insufficient fat atrophy. With the advancement of technology, we can provide a complete solution by performing eyelid sunken filling surgery. The principle of the operation is very simple, which is to take an appropriate amount of implants and transplant them into the depression; implants can be divided into artificial materials, human body's own materials, allogeneic materials, tissue engineering materials, etc. Eyelid hollow filling surgery can not only significantly change the patient's appearance, making them look fuller, younger and more energetic, but also improve the feeling of heaviness under the eyelids.

Temporal hollow filling

People with sunken temples have their upper face contour affected, giving them the impression of having a small head, a big face, and a mean look. Temporal plastic surgery is easily overlooked, but it can bring significant coordination to the entire face. The temple area is medically called "temporal".

Temporal filling surgery only requires a small incision of a few millimeters from the fat transplantation site. The fat is extracted, processed, and injected into the temple area. In this way, the forehead and temples become fuller, the cheekbones no longer appear so prominent, and the whole face becomes rounder. Similarly, the use of temporal fillers can also make sunken cheeks fuller and more elastic.

Cheek hollow filling

Sunken cheeks are more common in thin people with less subcutaneous fat and buccal fat pads, which appear as "sucked cheeks", an old-looking appearance. Especially for some actors who often appear on camera, the depressions on the cheeks are difficult to conceal with makeup, so they seek surgical methods to fill the depressions.

The method of filling cheek depressions is similar to that of filling temporal depressions. However, since the cheek filler is placed directly under the skin and is easily accessible outside the skin, higher requirements are placed on the properties of the filler. Hard materials such as silicone are difficult to use here. Polytetrafluoroethylene is better, but it still feels hard. The incision is made at the edge of the tragus, and a cavity of appropriate size is separated forward under the skin. The filler is inserted, flattened, the wound is sutured, and a pressure bandage is applied. The stitches are removed after 5-7 days. It can also be filled with dermal fat or autologous fat particles, with very good results.

Forehead hollow filling

If the forehead is too small or flat, or even sunken, it will give people a listless feeling. At this time, forehead filling surgery can make a good improvement, such as enhancing the fullness of the face, so that it will look lively, soft, youthful and full.

Forehead filling surgery can enter the galea aponeurotica-frontalis muscle layer along the incision, or it can be separated under the periosteum to form a cavity in the marked area. The filling material can be placed flatly and the edges can be fixed with several stitches. The specific procedure is to cut the scalp inside the hairline above the forehead, peel it from the scalp incision line to the eyebrow area, separate the forehead skin and muscles from the frontal bone, and then fill the flat forehead with artificial bone.
