Fat Injections as Dermal Fillers

Tag Archives: medical spa

Fat Injections as Dermal Fillers | Beverly Hills Medical SpaFat injections are a facial fat sculpting procedure performed at a medspa to restore more youthful contours to areas such as the cheeks, chin, and under-eye area. Fat injections can also be used to volumize the lips.
Patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and also a plenitude of communities across the horizon have an opportunity to receive fat injections as dermal fillers at Motykie medical spa, which is led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie.
 

Autologous Fat Transfer

Fat injection procedure for facial enhancement is considered a safe treatment option because it uses the patient’s own body fat from surplus fat areas. The excess fat is injected into the depleted or sunken areas of the face to create a fuller, rounder face. As the patient’s own fat is utilized, the procedure of fat transfer will involve three steps.
Firstly, some amount of excess fat will be gently removed from a donor site using liposuction. The second step involves isolating and cleansing the fat cells for transfer. The third and final step involves fat cell transplantation, which is done by injecting the fat cells into the targeted recipient sites of the face. The procedure can be performed at a qualified medspa on an outpatient basis.
 

Cosmetic Benefits

Facial fat injections can effectively remove aging signs such as frown lines, smile lines and marionette lines. It will help to mitigate furrows and deep wrinkles and creases, and fill the facial hollows under the cheekbones or under the eyes. If the lips have lost volume over the years, they can be rejuvenated with fat injections. Depressions and scars in the face can also be smoothed out with this injectable procedure.
Patients who suffer from lipoatrophy can benefit from facial fat transfer injections, and regain pleasing contours of the face. In some cases, fat transfer can complement dermal filler injections such as Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma. An advantage with autologous fat transfer is that no prior allergy tests will be required. Effects of fat injections can last from several months to two years. In some cases, the effects can sustain for several year or indefinitely.
 

Procedure

In the first step of the procedure, the treatment provider will perform gentle liposuction to remove some amount of surplus fat from a donor site, which could be the buttocks, abdomen, hips, or thighs. Very low suction liposuction is applied to collect maximum undamaged fat cells. The collected fat is then spun through a centrifugal process to separate wholly undamaged fat cells, which will be used for facial fat transfer.
The purified fat cells are then injected into the marked areas of the face. A hypodermic syringe will be used to inject the fat cells at the desired depth. Recovery following the injections is quick, and many patients can return to their normal routine within hours or a day or two. Results will become apparent almost immediately, and will fully establish as the swelling recedes.

Dermal filler injectable med spa treatments currently rank as the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the US after Botox. The safety profile of this treatment is high, which has encouraged many more people to seek these injections for facial rejuvenation.

Hyaluronic Acid Based Fillers

FDA approved injection fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma and Belotero Balance are based on HA. Therefore, these filler treatments do not require any prior skin allergy tests. However, if a dermal filler gel is based on animal extracts such as bovine collagen fillers, the med spa treatment provider may order allergy tests before administering them.
Advanced dermal filler injectables such as Sculptra, which is based on poly-L-lactic acid, and Radiesse, which is based on calcium compound microspheres are also considered very safe. Prior allergy tests may not be necessary with these fillers, except when the patient has a history of skin allergy.
 

When to Contact the Doctor

During the post-treatment period, the patient who has received dermal filler injections should be alert to any signs of abnormality or unexpected side effects. Although very few risks are associated with fillers, but it is still important to remain cautious in the first few days after the treatment. The patient should get in touch with the treatment provider if:

  • The swelling, bruising and redness are prolonged and do not dissipate after one week. This could be a sign of an allergic reaction or an infection.
  • The patient experiences acute pain in the injection areas coupled with asymmetry, which continues even after a week or 10 days.
  • The patient develops some bumps or nodules in or around the injection sites or uneven areas around the skin.

The patient will be able to minimize certain risks if they follow the treatment provider’s advice carefully, both before and after the treatment.
 

Minimizing the Risk

The patient should choose a qualified treatment provider with adequate experience in administering dermal filler injections. The treatment should be received in appropriate volumes only. In delicate areas of the face such as below the eyes, only specific fillers such as Restylane should be applied for safe outcomes.
Pregnant and nursing women should avoid dermal filler injections. If the patient has a habit of smoking, they will be required to refrain from smoking for a certain period of time before the injections are administered.

Dermal filler facial rejuvenation currently ranks as the second most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure in the US after Botox. A variety of dermal filler medspa treatments are available today to address a patient’s unique requirements.
During the initial consultation, the provider will discuss all aspects of the treatment, including its estimated costs. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides dermal filler injections to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Cost Comparison

While the costs of different types of dermal filler injections will vary, they will almost always be more affordable than plastic surgery as well as a number of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment options. The procedure will not require the use of general anesthesia or sedation. The injections can be administered at the medspa, unlike a facial surgery that will have to be performed at a surgical venue.
Even in comparison to certain non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures that may involve advanced techniques such as laser, ultrasound or RF, or even some advanced chemical peels, the cost of dermal filler injections may prove to be more competitive. Filler treatment involves minimal or no downtime, which can have cost advantages for certain working people.

All these are cost saving aspects, which may dermal filler injectable treatments more affordable than various other facial anti-aging procedures. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for dermal filler injections.
 

Cost Factors

Advanced dermal filler treatments such as Radiesse and Sculptra Aesthetic are likely to cost more than hyaluronic acid based filler injections such as Juvederm Ultra, Restylane, and Belotero. However, the stronger filler injections will also produce longer lasting effects, and the sticker price should be viewed against the potential longevity and effectiveness of the results.
The practice location will make an impact on the overall costs of a dermal filler treatment. The average living costs vary from one place to another, which makes a difference to the costs of products and services in a particular city or stage. The quality standards of the med spa, the guidance of experienced plastic surgeons, the expertise of the staff members, and the kind of personalized care and services will influence the cost of the procedure to an extent.
 

Extent of Treatment

Some people may only require a limited treatment in one part of the face to mitigate mild to moderate facial lines, while some others may need treatment in multiple areas of the face. In a few cases, liquid facelift procedure may be performed, which combines two or more injectables. The practice may charge the price according to the volume of filler gel or the number of injection vials used for treatment.

The dermal filler injectable procedure at a qualified med spa should be preceded by a detailed consultation to understand the patient’s needs. The patient too gets an opportunity to clarify any concerns or doubts, and make a well-informed decision. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides dermal filler injections to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and also other communities in this section of the nation.
 

Examining the Patient’s Condition

One of the key steps in the consultation process will be to assess the patient’s facial condition, including their overall facial anatomy, skin quality and type, degree of skin laxity, amount of volume loss in certain areas, and depth of wrinkles and fine lines. The med spa treatment provider will also ask questions about the patient’s general health and any underlying medical conditions.
 

Assessing Personal Goals

The treatment provider should have a clear idea about the reasons why the patient wants to undergo dermal filler treatment, and what exactly about their facial appearance may be bothering them. Once the provider understands the specific cosmetic goals of the patient, they can make the most appropriate recommendations with regard to the filler treatment.
 

Patient Education

The provider will discuss various dermal filler treatment options available to the patient, and the benefits and limitations of each. They will explain about the injection procedure, the estimated recovery and results, and how long the effects of the treatment may sustain. The first goal of a responsible provider will be to help the patient make a well-considered choice about filler treatment.
 

Questions and Answers  

During the pre-treatment consultation, the patient should feel free to ask as many questions as they want about the injectable procedure. The provider will give accurate and relevant answers to address their doubts and concerns. Patients should have full confidence in the procedure and the treatment provider before they go ahead with dermal filler injections.
 

Creating a Customized Injection Plan

Each patient has unique needs, and the provider will create an injection plan tailored to meet those specific needs in each case. Some patients may require only limited treatment with a wrinkle-filler, while some others may additionally require volume building in the face with stronger fillers such as Voluma or Sculptra. Some patients may benefit from a liquid facelift, involving a combination of fillers and Botox.
 

Cost Estimate

If the patient wants to combine the filler procedure with another surgical or non-surgical treatment, they may be eligible for a special package rate or a rebate. The provider may also apprise the patient about the best third party financing options that may be available for their treatment.

Each year over a million dermal filler med spa injection procedures are performed in the US, according to the ASPS figures. Dermal filler facial rejuvenation treatment currently ranks as the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the country after Botox.
Although filler injections do not involve a significant recovery process, but the patient should have a clear understanding of the recovery aspects and potential risks and final results of dermal fillers. Motykie medical spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides cosmetic fillers to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and other cities in this part of the country.  
 

Immediately after Injections

In many cases, the early results of dermal filler injections can be noticed immediately after the procedure, even though minor swelling and bruising may appear in the injection sites. The filler gel is injected into the deeper skin layers of the face, and will immediately act to plump the skin and mitigate the impact of facial wrinkles and creases.
The extent of swelling and how long it may last will depend on the type of soft tissue filler received, and the number of injections and sites involves. But in most cases, redness, bruising and swelling is likely to dissipate in about a week to 10 days. The med spa treatment provider may instruct the patient to perform ice therapy or cold compresses in the first one or two days to stem the swelling.  
 

Precautions

The provider will advise the patient to avoid lying down for about three to four hours after the filler injection treatment to allow time for the filler gel to settle well in the targeted areas of the face. They may also instruct the patient to refrain from massaging their face for at least 24 hours. The patient may wear makeup from the next day of the injections to hide the swelling, but certain types of makeup may have to be avoided for a few days.
If the patient has a habit of smoking, the provider will encourage the patient to avoid smoking for a few days before and after the injections. This will support faster and better healing. Blood thinning medications and NSAIDs should also be avoided for a few days. Direct exposure to sunlight should be avoided after the dermal filler injections for a few weeks, and a sunscreen with SPF 30 or above should be applied every day.
 

Retreatment and Results

In some cases, the dermal filler expert may recommend the patient to visit for a follow up treatment to fill any wrinkles or fine lines that may have been missed during the first injection treatment. On average the results with a single treatment of dermal fillers may last for about six months to a year, depending on the type of filler used.
In case of stronger fillers for cheek volumizing, the results may last for up to two years or more. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for dermal filler injections and various other aesthetic procedures.

Age Spots (Liver Spots) Treatment | Beverly Hills Medical SpaOne of the common aging signs is age spots, which are also called liver spots. These spots typically occur in tan, brown or black color, and may vary in size. Sun exposure is a key reason behind their occurrence, and as a result they usually appear in sun-exposed areas such as the face, hands, arms, and shoulders. Age spots are more common among people over the age of 50.
A variety of med spa treatments are available today to lighten or remove age spots from the skin. An experienced provider will recommend the most appropriate treatment options for a patient, depending on their skin type, skin color and the extent of problem. Motykie medical spa provides treatments for age spots to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.
 

Treatment Options

The advantage with choosing non-surgical med spa solutions to treat age spots is that the patient will not be required to undergo significant discomfort or downtime. However, it is important to choose a treatment that is capable of penetrating the epidermis because the pigment in age spots is located at the base of the epidermis.
 
Medications
If the condition of age spots is mild, the provider may prescribe certain bleaching creams that could help to mitigate the effect of age spots over several months. In more severe cases, the creams can be combined with retinoids and a mild steroid.
It is critical for the patient to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 for several months during and after the treatment. Temporary side effects such as redness, itching, dryness or burning sensation may be expected.
 
Light-Based Treatments
Age spots are caused by melanin producing cells or melanocytes. With light based treatments such as lasers and IPL, it is possible to strike at the root of the problem and destroy the melanocytes. These procedures do not cause any damage to the upper surface of the skin.
The age spots will gradually fade out over a few months. Side effects with light based therapy are few, but mild skin discoloration may occur sometimes. Sun protection is required with these therapies.
 
Freezing (Cryotherapy)
Freezing process involves the application of liquid nitrogen or another freezing agent on the age spots to destroy the pigment. As the site begins to heal, the skin appears lighter. Freezing may be applied over a single age spot or a small group of spots. Temporary skin irritation is expected, and mild discoloration may occur in a few cases.
 
Dermabrasion
The topmost skin layer goes through planing or sanding down with a rapidly rotating brush in this procedure. This enables the delicate removal of the uppermost skin layer, allowing for regeneration of a new layer in its place. Temporary redness and scab formation may occur.
 
Chemical Peel
Age spots can be treated with certain types of chemical peels, which will cause the top skin layer to peel. New skin will form in its place, causing the age spots to fade. Motykie medical spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for age spot treatment.

  • Need to enhance the contours of the lips or jaws.
  • Need to add volume in depleted areas of the faces, which may include the cheeks, lips, or jaw line.

Types of Fillers

Dermal fillers can be broadly classified into three types: temporary, semi-permanent, and permanent. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are temporary, usually lasting for about six months to a year, while other fillers will provide more sustainable outcomes.

Permanent Fillers
Permanent fillers are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), which are microspheres that are not absorbed by the body. Bellafill is a popular PMMA based facial filler.

Skin Rejuvenation and Resurfacing Cost | Beverly Hills Medical SpaAn extensive range of safe and proven skin rejuvenation and resurfacing medspa procedures are available today to treat various cosmetic skin conditions. At the time of initial consultation, the treatment provider will discuss the most appropriate options with the patient and inform them of the estimated costs.
The provider’s first concern will be to help the patient make a well-considered decision. Cost can be an important aspect for many patients because skin rejuvenation and resurfacing procedures may not be covered under health insurance.

The monetary amount for this package will be determined uniquely for each patient, depending on their specific requirements.
 

Cost Factors

Skill and Experience of the Provider

Extent of Treatment
