Non-surgical Plastic Surgery Options and Treatments

Has Father Time been knocking at your door lately? Perhaps you've been significantly considering the idea of plastic surgery to remove as many of your fine lines and wrinkles as possible. You've just got one barrier. The thought of having someone cut on your face scares you and you're frozen in fear. But, there's good news! You can still obtain a more youthful looking appearance without the use of surgical procedures. This process is called injection therapy. Using wrinkle fillers can improve your looks. These fillers can restore your aging facial features and reduce your fine lines and creases. Soft tissue fillers or your own fat are used to complete this process. Many people are born with thin lips. But, did you know that you can have those lips plumped up and made fuller with the use of these injections? Another successful area where these non-surgical plastic surgery injections are effective is eliminating deep scars as from acne. Soft tissue from a donor or your own fat is injected beneath the skin's surface for smooth results. This fat is generally removed from your inner thigh or your abdomen areas. The fillers are designed to plump other areas such as the back of your hands and fill in creases in areas of your face. Expect minor swelling in the treated areas for up to a week or two at the most. It must be noted, however, that this procedure is temporary at best and must be repeated after a period of time. But, don't permit the temporary result to deter you from seeking to change your appearance through this form of plastic surgery. The treatment can last for several years or more, if performed by a reputable physician. Some of the products used may even have a permanent end result. Another terrific benefit of this procedure is that it can be performed in your doctor's office in less than 30 minutes. The cost is also a great deal less than it used to be in former days when plastic surgery was only something you had if you were rich and famous. You may be wondering if this is similar to Botox. It is not in that Botox relaxes the muscle underneath a wrinkle. Wrinkle fillers actually fill the crease or line with soft tissue or fat. This makes it seem as if it magically disappears. As with any surgical or non-surgical procedure, there are some risks. Be sure to talk in depth with your doctor about the pros and cons of this form of plastic surgery. Whatever you choose to do, you must, first of all, be convinced and content that the next step you take is safe and that you are willing to take on any risks. Knowledge about the procedure and what you can expect afterward will go a long way to alleviate any fears you may have beforehand.
