The aesthetic skin fill treatment can be done with a product called Hydrogel, developing especially for aesthetic purposes. This type of procedure serves to increase the volume of certain regions of the body such as buttocks, thighs and breasts, and is useful to fill wrinkles and lines of expression on the face and neck.
The application of the hydrogel should be done in a surgical center by a physician, preferably a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist specialized in techniques of body filling and should be changed on average 2 years in the case of face filling and 5 years in the case of filling body.
Price
The price of skin filling with Hydrogel to enlarge the butt is about 2000 reais per 100 ml, and to increase the butt it is necessary to apply at least 200 ml on each side.
When it is indicated and how it is done
Hydrogel filling can be useful for:
- Increase the lips, buttocks, breasts, calves, hips or ankles;
- Fill deep wrinkles and lines of expressions on face or neck;
- Correct grade IV cellulite because it helps to make the skin firmer.
The procedure is simple, and consists of the application of a hydrogel injection in the region that wishes to increase the volume, with local anesthesia. After application, a dressing is done or sometimes a single stitch is given, which should be taken 7 days later.
What are the risks
Skin filling with Hydrogel is usually well tolerated and the person recovers quickly, without needing hospitalization, especially when applying a small amount on the face or lips, for example. However, if the region you want to increase is large, such as your buttocks or thighs, you need to stay in the hospital to make sure it is a safe procedure.
Most people who perform this type of treatment have only minor pain, swelling and redness at the site where the injection is given. In some cases bruising may still occur, and in more severe cases, which are rarer, serious complications can arise such as allergy to the product, ischemia, nerve compression, thrombosis, skin necrosis or pulmonary embolism.
Thus, to reduce the risks, the treatment must be done by an experienced doctor, not recommended to be done in the doctor's office, or a 'botox party', for example.
Who can not use
Hydrogel filling is particularly contraindicated for people who have already used the substance Metacrill for body filling because the two substances are not compatible, and in people with some infectious disease, acute or chronic inflammatory disease, skin disease or in the blood vessels.
