Soft tissue fillers

Wrinkles begin to appear as collagen and elastin fibers in the skin break down.
This breakdown can also be attributed to excessive squinting, frowning, smiling,
and especially smoking.

Wrinkles can be smoothed out by filling the
skin or the tissue under the skin with fillers.
There are many types of tissue fillers. Some
are synthetic materials such as polymethyl
methacrylate or beads. These synthetic fillers
are permanent. Others are natural substances
which provide a temporary fill such as
collagen, hyaluronic acid or dermis. Finally,
you can also have permanent filling by having
your own fat transferred from one part of your
body to another in a procedure known as fat
grafting or lipofilling.

Synthetic tissue fillers are usually permanent,
but may occasionally be rejected by the body
by exposure or infection.

While some injectable fillers, like collagen, pose a small allergic risk, fat transfer is
widely used because it is tolerated well: you cannot be allergic to substances
taken from your own body. Your plastic surgeon can discuss with you the risks
and benefits of all of the available tissue fillers.

In addition to filling out wrinkles, lipofilling can
be used to recontour the face and provide
fullness to cheeks, chin, lips and lower eyes.
The fat used for fat transfer is liposuctioned
from another part of your body like the
abdomen or thighs and injected into an area
of the face that requires more volume.

Injected fat lasts longer in larger areas of
non-movement, so while it is successful for
the correction of grooves under the eyes and
sunken cheeks, it is not as successful for
creating fuller lips.

Fat grafting can also improve atrophic aging
of the hands.

Fat grafting is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Both the area from which
the fat is taken and the treatment site are anesthetized with a local anesthetic.
Using a small needle attached to a syringe, fat is removed from a donor site where
you have spare fat, such as your abdomen. Once removed, your fat is processed
to remove excess fluids and then reinjected using another needle, which is placed
just under your skin beneath the wrinkle, or deeper if contour change is desired.
The procedure may need to be repeated until the desired correction has been
achieved.

Swelling and bruising is expected after fat injection. Discomfort following the
procedure can be easily controlled with medication. Although your body may
resorb some of the fat of lipofilling, some of it remains with each treatment for a
long lasting result.
