Silicone 1000

How long after a microdroplet procedure will collagen begin to grow? How much collagen growth can be expected? Thank You

30 to 90 days. 30 days for stabilization of the micro particles. 90 days for ongoing development. the amount of collagen growth is on the smaller end maybe 10 to 20% of the total result but it is also variable.

So your saying that the Collagen growth should be a noticeable change to the nose? Also does the nose tissue get harder around the Collagen areas or no? Thanks

the actual bulk of the silicone product causes the most volume change. the collagen build up around the particles accounts for a smaller percentage of total growth. the product typically is very soft and not hard.
