Silicone as a Facial Filler
Information provided by the plastic surgeons at ASI - Boca Raton, Florida
Soft tissue augmentation has seen a renaissance of interest as an increasing number of patients seek aesthetic improvements without surgery and the unwanted downtime. Patients desire a more three-dimensional face. The youthful face has a much fuller look, not pulled, flat and two-dimensional caused by face-lift augmentation. Filler material can augment and even, at times, replace pulling.
For over 40 years, physicians in other countries have used silicone to augment patients' facial defects. A plethora of medical literature supports the efficacy and safety of medical grade liquid injectable silicone. Recently, the FDA approved a silicone product. HIV patients with Lipodystrophy have facial defects such as sunken cheeks and temples. HIV Lipodystrophy is similar to an accelerated form of aging. A similar phenomenon occurs as we age. With every passing decade, we continuously lose the ability to synthesize collagen. This transformation causes tissue loss around the temples and cheeks and in the jowls and chin causing us to look older than our years. An article in Dermatological Surgery addressed the issue of gravity on the aging face. The article illustrated that gravity did not affect wrinkles. Rather, as we get older, the loss of collagen and fat transforms faces into an elderly appearance.
Today there is a safe and permanent solution for sustaining a more youthful appearance without surgery. A youthful face has taut and robust cheeks, excellent skin tone and texture, defined jawline and sensual lips.
By strategically using medical grade liquid injectable silicone sculpting a more youthful appearance can now be achieved. You can now set aside any thoughts of having that weekend face lift.
Medical Grade Liquid Injectable Silicone will naturally stimulate your own collagen to fill-in those defects. It is not the silicone that is filling in the defects, but your own natural collagen. This is why the results are amazing and breath taking. The rejuvenated area appears and feels the same as it did years ago.
