What is it?
Injectable fillers are one tool for reducing the appearance of fine wrinkles and lines. Fillers can also reduce soft tissue defects from surgery, an accident or even acne.
Several other types of fillers are also available, so talk to your plastic surgeon if you are interested in a specific product.

During the consultation with your plastic surgeon, the physician will examine your skin and recommend the best type of filler for you. Your doctor may recommend a different procedure or suggest using an injectable filler in conjunction with other treatments.
When injected just below the surface of the skin, these substances plump or fill out the area. Though the results are immediate, it is important to know that for most products they are only temporary. Depending on the filler and your genetics, results can last from three months to a year. With fat or dermis the results may be more permanent.

Recovery time:
1 to 2 days.
