The Right and Wrong way to use fillers for anti-aging

Рет қаралды 203,256

Күн бұрын

Fillers have been the trending and preferred alternative to plastic surgery for a long time, them being cheaper and their results quicker. Are fillers actually best suited for your face and the aging you may be experiencing? As we age, we experience volume loss in our face. Volume in the face is what gives us a soft, healthy appearance, but adding volume, a.k.a. fillers, is not always the answer to turning back time and reducing the appearance of aging. Today, Dr. Karam explains the purpose of fillers, the appropriate uses of fillers, and when we should avoid fillers.

I'd like to see someone over 50 who has used your products for x months with before and after photos without filters and without the professional lighting that makes skin look great when it isn't. I've seen too many "results" done via a truthful photo shown next to a professional photo job that makes all the flaws go away.

I’m very curious why no plastic surgeons ever talk about doing facial exercises? I do them all the time it’s amazing how you can keep your facial muscles firm and tone like the rest of your body! There are 43 different muscles in the face! I do my face exercises right after I get done with the gym or my swimming laps. I do them three times a week! You can do them while you’re driving while you’re watching TV anytime! I am 69!

Please do a video for women in their 60’s who have had NO fillers, but are interested! And let’s see an example :) I volunteer! This late 40’s described as “aging” is ridiculous after you’ve turned 60!

@susankriney9611 Жыл бұрын

@Better_Call_Raul Жыл бұрын

Well, I think one of the main points of this video is that use of fillers is relatively limited for a typical woman in her 60's compared to a typical woman in her 40's... This is not to say an older woman cannot benefit from fillers. Just that fillers will generally be far more effective with younger women. Older women will, in general, benefit more with surgery rather than fillers!

I had filler in my tear trough 5 years ago. It migrated under my orbital bone onto my upper cheek and would swell enormously. Over the last year I have had several sessions of trying to dissolve it. Not only has it been a hassle, dealing with repeated bruising etc, but it has also been much more expensive than the original filler. Be very careful about tear trough filler. I was told it would last around 6 months and I’m still dealing with it 5 years later!

@sarkahalastova9667 Жыл бұрын

This is so educational. Your explanations are so comprehensive - most of all, they help me to understand the relations between different parts of the face. Which is something most of us don't understand when we walk into the practitioner's office. I had a premature deep trough in my mid-face fat pads (around the age of 40) and had it treated with a filler a couple times. I don't regret doing it, it helped to fill the hollowing but I definitely don't want to repeat it. I can see in my photos that I looked a bit overfilled - round like a tomato - at some point. I can see how it could easily cross the line to something very unnatural looking.

I’m 55 and have fillers in cheeks, nasolabial and jowls and it looks fantastic! Just 2.5 ml in total on the face. And I keep my weight up to keep fat in face by enjoying my life with for example, a glass of wine and chocolate occasionally as well as good nutrition. If you keep a little extra pounds on as you get older it helps to fill out any sagging. Great video to remind us that to keep this up would mean looking odd, though I disagree with your timeline of in your 40s …. yep, soon be time for surgery …..if we all have the courage and dollars ….

Thank you for informative and honest videos. Would you consider making a video targeted for mature women 60 + who have had or will be getting a face, neck lift about what they can do during surgery, or what they can do post surgery, if they have already had it, to tweak their face to look more youthful? Many women do not realize that F. and N lifts will not replace fat loss, and they will still most likely need fillers to look their best especially the 60+age group. Please explain what a, mid- lower face lift, a neck lift or brow look can achieve and what it cannot achieve. I know many women who have gotten lifts and they are happy , yet disappointed because the lifts did not address wrinkles and hollows . Please explain how this age group could benefit from fillers, plasma injections, fat injections post surgery . Also how long should they wait after a face lift before getting fillers, lasers, IPLs, BBL etc? Thank you again Dr Amir for your educational videos .
