Body fillers are injectable treatments used to augment and enhance body contours. They are typically composed of gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin. While commonly associated with facial rejuvenation, body fillers can also address volume loss in various body areas, helping to smooth wrinkles, plump specific regions, and restore a more youthful appearance.
Body filler treatments, being minimally invasive, offer immediate results with little to no downtime. Patients can typically notice the effects right after receiving the injections. Some mild bruising and swelling may occur but usually subside within a few days. The treatment allows patients to resume normal activities almost immediately, though it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities for a short period following the procedure.
The composition of body fillers varies and can include substances like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate. Each type serves different purposes, from providing temporary hydration and volume to stimulating collagen production for longer-lasting results. Autologous fat injections, using the patient's own fat, are another form of body filler that requires a more involved process but offers long-lasting results.
