Cosmetic Surgery – the Safety of Fillers

Dermal fillers have been come increasingly popular in the last few years and many have turned to them to help erase those telling lines and wrinkles – but just how safe are they?

First of all it is important to distinguish between temporary and permanent fillers: temporary fillers are usually gel like substances containing primary ingredients such as collagen which will give just what the name suggests – a temporary filling action that may last 4-6 months, slowly and harmlessly being absorbed by the body. Permanent fillers can contain primary ingredients such as Silicon and the body does not readily absorb this sort of filler meaning you are more likely to suffer from long lasting problems.

The main problem it seems with regards to dermal fillers is that they are often administered by untrained hands and used in areas they have not been approved for. Add to this the fact that permanent fillers can cause lumpy skin and an adverse reaction in some patients and you can see that things aren’t as peachy in this area as it first seems.

If considering fillers you should opt for a temporary filler in most cases as any adverse effects such as drifting of the material will be rectified by the passage of time and the bodies’ action of absorbing the harmless material. The practitioner administering the filler should carry out compatibility tests to make sure you will not suffer from an adverse reaction and this is more important with some fillers as they are not as widely suitable for every type of skin.

Some clinics have taken to using fillers to give the appearance of having breast augmentation but injecting fillers into the tissue of the breast can cause lumps and can even be confused with breast cancer and in fact make it difficult to diagnose real cases of breast cancer in a patient which is extremely worrying. As with anything, if you want the job doing properly you really get what you pay for and you should not try to use fillers as a cheap option for enhancing your breasts.

It is essential you look for a highly qualified and experienced practitioner to ensure that the procedure runs smoothly and this really is crucial. In cases where the practitioner has not been careful patients have suffered adverse reactions such as facial swelling, lumpy skin and in rare cases – facial paralysation, some needing corrective surgery to put the damage right – and all this just to erase a few wrinkles.

If you are considering cosmetic surgery procedures in the UK such as breast augmentation you should seek an accredited surgeon who is registered with BAPRAS or BAAPS to ensure this plastic surgery runs smoothly.
