Fillers
Fillers are used in a variety of surgical procedures to add volume, support, or definition to an area. They can be used either as an OPD procedure or in facial plastic surgery, breast augmentation, and even reconstructive surgery. Dermal Fillers are used to add volume & restore facial contours where ageing has led to decreased elasticity. The most common type of filler used is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin that helps to keep it hydrated and plump. It is also a major component of cartilage and bone. HA fillers are available in a variety of forms, including gels, injections, and implants.

Why are fillers used?
- To restore volume: As we age, our faces naturally lose volume, leading to wrinkles, folds, and creases. Fillers can help to restore lost volume and create a more youthful appearance.
- To augment features: Fillers can be used to augment features such as the lips, cheeks, and chin. This can help to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
- To fill in scars: Fillers can be used to fill in scars caused by acne, surgery, or trauma. This can help to improve the appearance of the scar and make it less noticeable.
- To support tissues: Fillers can be used to support tissues that have lost elasticity or support. This can help to prevent sagging and improve skin elasticity.
- To define features: Fillers can be used to define features such as the jawline, cheekbones, and brow bone. This can help to create a more sculpted and defined look.
