Dermal Fillers for Men

The stereotype that cosmetic procedures are supposed to be done on women alone is quickly melting as men have proved that they also fit in the aesthetic world of Plastic Surgery. This is because they also want to look as they feel which is younger, smoother, softer, and more refreshed.

Dermal fillers are soft tissue injections that help fill in facial wrinkles thus restoring a smoother appearance. They are ideal for replacing lost volume and can be used by men for various cosmetic purposes such as treatment of:

• Frown lines
• Nasolabial lines (deep smile lines at the side of the mouth)
• Marionette line (lines from the mouth to the chin)
• Deep hollows under the eyes
• Shaping the jawline and chin

A dermal filler treatment is a quick and easy process that usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area or areas. Dermal filler treatments not only restore and enhance your facial contours but can also take years off your appearance while resulting in a very natural look that no one will notice that you had work done. No anesthesia is necessary as the treatment is virtually painless.

Other additional benefits of dermal fillers for men include:

• Immediate results. Dermal fillers offer an immediate improvement on appearance hence you can expect to look better right away. Although, for the first few days following the treatment the treated area may look swollen or overfilled but this resolves quickly as the filler settles in. The results continue to improve as the days go by, and if the first treatment failed to hit the desired mark, an additional filler can be applied.
• Minimal discomfort. Facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers for men is not painful thus no anesthesia is needed. However, if you have a low tolerance for pain, a topical numbing cream can be applied to the treatment area to make you comfortable. The treatment area can remain tender for a few days but this can easily be managed by over-the-counter pain relievers.
• Minimal to no restrictions. There are no limitations required on activities after dermal fillers for men's treatment. However, strenuous exercises are not recommended for the first 24-48 hours following an injection session. This allows for the filler to settle and the treatment area to heal.
• Quick recovery. The recovery time for dermal filler treatment usually depends on the individual, the target area, and the extent of the treatment area. For some men, however, the recovery can take a maximum of two days while for other men there is usually no downtime, and they can go back to work immediately after the treatment.
• Few side effects. Dermal fillers are FDA approved treatments for volume restoration and smoothing facial lines that come with aging. However, there is quite a small chance that side effects such as bruising, redness, and tenderness can occur, but these usually resolve quite quickly. It is quite rare to experience serious side effects with dermal fillers when it is being injected by an experienced injector or a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.
