Face care after contour plastics

One of the sparing and effective ways to treat age-related changes is a contour plastic surgery using hyaluronic acid. If you entrust execution of the procedure to the experienced doctors and comply with all the rules of care, you can get rid of deep wrinkles and make lips or cheekbones more pronounced.

Procedure of contour plastic surgery

The essence of the procedure is the administration of special filler into the area under the wrinkle. As a result, the skin is lifted, and the skin wrinkle is smoothed out.

Advantages of this technique:

• The result can be seen immediately after the session;
• There is a small list of contraindications;
• The operation duration is 30-40 minutes;
• The result is natural;
• There is no age limit;
• The effect lasts for a period from 6 months to 2 years.

The technique is used widely for the correction of facial contours, age-related omission of tissues, removal of the scarring zones, adjustment of the asymmetry, correction of missing volume in some areas of the face, elimination of deep and superficial wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is used as the filler, since it is fully compatible with the human body.

• Fibrosis. It is a rejection of a preparation being administered. It is manifested in the form of balls and seals at the injection site. Depending on the fibroma complexity, it can be dissolved on its own or it may require a surgery or administration of the drug, which is degrading the hyaluronic acid.
