A Closer Look Between Fat Filler vs. Dermal Filler

Two of the most popular cosmetic procedures today for facial rejuvenation and volume restoration are fat filler vs. dermal filler. What are the difference between the two? Let us take a deeper lens on how best to restore facial volume.

Fat Filler vs. Dermal Filler – How They Work

One way to restore facial volume is by using hyaluronic acid, as a direct filler. Another is a polymer of lactic acid that serves as an inflammatory material to induce collagen synthesis and develop a guided tissue volume additive. These two materials can easily be administered in the office with minimal downtime. Although these treatments are safe and easy, it is important to get a doctor with experienced eyes, hands and judgment to ensure the best outcomes. Results may last up to two years.

Another option to restore volume of the face is through fat grafting. Fat can be harvested easily from the thighs or abdomen to be used in the face. The procedure is a milder, gentler form of liposuctioning that requires a small amount of processing. It is then re-injected into the specific location. Under local anesthesia, patients may feel some pressure sensation from obtaining the fat. To ensure not to injure the fat, specialized cannulas are used. The technique may cause some pressure sensation compared to the small, sharp needle used for injecting dermal filler.

The good thing of using fat is that it’s cheaper to obtain as opposed to a manufactured material. Also, peripheral stem cells could direct cellular differentiation which leads to better tissue quality.

Which Do You Use? Fat Filler vs. Dermal Filler?

Fat can be technically demanding because it is soft and doesn’t exert force on the skin as compared to fillers. This is the reason why most doctors prefer to use hyaluronic acid and other dermal fillers around delicate areas such as around the eyes and the lips.

The use of fat filler is still an evolving technique in the world of plastic surgery. Currently, there are significant discussion on the techniques as well as the science behind the results. Fat grafting is application to every region of the body, including the face, hand, breast, buttock, neck and other contour deformities.

As for the early stages of volume restoration and facial rejuvenation, which can happen during the third decade of life and beyond, most volume restoration procedures is done using off-the-shelf dermal filler in an office setting because of the convenience and the ease of use.

Fat filler vs. dermal filler? Well, it is a case-to-case decision. It depends as it is important to identify the best protocol for every patient. Taking the customized approach is still the best thing to do, from the initial consultation to the procedure. Here at Skin Hampshire, it is our goal to provide only the best, optimal results for every patient and to develop a lifetime relationship.

Our eyes are one of the most important features of our face and their ability to be the main focal point of the face can be diminishes because of wrinkles, eyebrow dropping, eyelash loss, cheek volume loss and fine lines. One of the most popular cosmetic treatment that can enhance the appearance of the eyes is the tear trough treatment.

Most injectables could take a few days, even weeks, for the effect to be noticed. However, some treatments can provide instant results. Tear trough treatment is one example and the highly skilled professionals at Skin Hampshire perform it for those tired of looking ‘tired’.

How Tear Trough Treatment Works to Firm Under Eye Area

There is a natural depression that lines the curve of your eye socket, going from the nose to the underside of the eye. This is called as ‘tear trough’ as this is where your tears collect. As you get older, the skin loses its natural elasticity. Your face also lose volume from the mid and upper section as the facial fat starts to shrink and sag.

Because of the sagging and shrinking of the delicate skin around the tear trough, it causes eye bags and dark shadows, which is hard to conceal with makeup. It makes your face look tired and old.

But the texture of dermal filler used for tear trough treatment can improve the appearance of this area non-surgically, through the use of multiple injections administered above the orbital bone. Tear trough filler can give you an instant result as the dark shadows get ‘plumped out’ for a naturally renewed, rejuvenated face and a far more ‘awake’ look.

Who are the Ideal Candidate for Tear Trough Treatment?

Though deep tear troughs usually appear in the 30s or 40s, there are patients as young as 20 who are to have early sign of aging. Ideal candidate is anyone who knows and understands the procedure, in general good health and has realistic expectations of the results. During the initial consultation, we will be able to determine if the treatment procedure is fitted for your situation.

We will do a skin evaluation, a discussion of your desired results as well as a review of your medical history. If you decide to get a tear trough treatment, a personalize treatment plan will be developed.

What to Expect from the Tear Trough Treatment

For the first four hours after the procedure, patient is advised to stay upright, to let the filler to settle. Any strenuous activity is not allowed within 24 hours. Cosmetics can be applied the following day. Take note that chemical peels, tanning or facials of any kind should be avoided within seven days after the procedure as the tissues are still highly sensitive.
