Chicago Hyaluronic Acid Juvederm Restylane Injectable Fillers
Technique:
A natural or synthetic biocompatible material, or the patient’s own fat, is
injected or implanted in the lips. One injection is usually sufficient to
produce the desired result, which may be temporary, depending on the material
used.
Hyaluronic Acid Filler Injections may need to be repeated periodically. Proper placement of the
injected material is important. AlloDerm, a natural collagen sheet made from
donated skin, is inserted through tiny incisions inside the corners of the
mouth. Once the AlloDerm implant is in place, it eventually becomes integrated
with the natural tissues. Gore-Tex, SoftForm and soft ePTFE are other synthetic
implant options. Further options include:
·
Autologen -

dermal implant material made from the patient’s own skin.
·
Dermalogen -

lasts 3-6 months.
·
