Firm fillers that stick to the bone.

Postby katychocolate25 » Sat Apr 16, 2011 8:25 pm

Are there any firm fillers that adhere to the bone? I was considering getting some filler to try add support to some saggying tissue.

As I dont want to undergo major surgery and get bone or an implant put it.

However using standard filler would just add more weight to the tissue and drag it down furthur, I was wondering if there is a filler that sticks to the bone and can help provide stucutural support.

Many thanks.

hi,
you are mistaken entirely about fillers in two senses:
1. fillers placed deeply do not give more support.
2. fillers placed close to the skin do not promote sag.

fillers in general when they fill do not lift or sag tissue. that is a mistaken thought. fillers done well and not in excess do little to change the gravitational component of the tissue in either direction. please watch this video to understand it more:

you might also want to watch this video too:

so, in summary if you are losing volume in certain areas, fillers done by an EXPERIENCED and ARTISTIC surgeon who is mindful of your discomfort are critical. i used these tiny French cannulas to augment tissues without any pain in a modified way. that really helps get amazing results with almost no bruising.
best,
