A Word on Cosmetic Fillers

A Word on Cosmetic Fillers

September 26, 2011 By Carlo Honrado

One of the primary goals of any facial cosmetic surgery is to restore beauty. For most people this means finding a way back to a more symmetrical and supple appearance, either through an outpatient procedure like Ultherapy™, or through a more involved facial plastic surgery procedure. But there is a third way to restore youth and vigor that is becoming increasingly popular: cosmetic fillers.

Many people have heard of these products by now – Juvederm™, Restylane®, Sculptra™, and Botox® appear often on makeover shows and in the popular press. These compounds are well-loved for their speed and subtlety, and well-respected for their impressive safety records. And unlike surgical approaches that involve incisions, scars, and lengthy recovery periods, cosmetic fillers can be applied and perfected in a matter of hours. Healing is expedited by the non-invasive nature of the procedure.

The results can be stunning. When cosmetic fillers are carefully applied, you can avoid the dreaded “operated-on” appearance of more aggressive procedures, and instead simply enjoy a fuller, less wrinkled appearance. In the right hands, an effect such as this may even escape conscious notice; your friends and loved ones will simply wonder why you look so fresh and vital.

Cosmetic fillers come in a number of compounds and consistencies, and each is associated with a slightly different appearance. For this reason, it is essential to speak with an expert before you choose the right product. Please contact my Los Angeles cosmetic surgery offices today for a free consultation on this safe and speedy procedure.
