There is no one in this world who can promise you that the
injection material and the injection technique will be the perfect one every time
you undergo any procedure. You would like to know that when somethings goes
wrong, your doctor would be happy to assist you with the correction without
having to go through the knife.
Permanent lip filler
Patient : Doc, i don’t like my lips, it’s getting bigger
over time.
Doctor : Oh dear, you are the one in a million to have this
reaction. I will schedule you for a lips filler removal operation. The cost is
USD 20000, a discounted price.
Patient : Why is the correction so much more expensive
then the filler, you charged me USD 2000 2 years back?
Doctor : ... ...
Many people fall trap into being prey of permanent / semi
permanent filler. The injector may sell you the idea that permanent filler
lasts longer and hence you do not need to undergo repeated injections. The fact
is, human ages with time. No matter how permanent a filler is, volume loss is
ongoing and there will be constant need for further volume replacement. Even
after permanent filler injection, one would still require future volume touch
up from time to time. So with and without permanent filler injections, one
would still require the top up treatment. The apparent saving is not there.
But what you were not told was the fact that once the
permanent filler is injected into your body, your body will not have any
mechanism to dissolve it. The permanent filler ended up staying in the body for
the rest of one’s life. To remove it, one will have to seek the help of a
plastic surgeon to remove it surgically. The process of filler removal is a
tedious job and even in the best hands, the fillers may not be completely
removed in toto.
The other risk is, permanent filler is being recognized as
foreign body and in some patients, it attracts inflammation. Chronic
inflammation forms granulation tissues or scar tissue which increases the
actual “volume” of the fillers over time. One may find the areas treated with
permanent filler growing over time and the
treated area may disfigure. To rectify this problem,
surgery, will be required.
