mjukvävnadsfyllnad

Mjukvävnadsfyllnad, commonly referred to as soft tissue filler, is a medical aesthetic treatment used to restore or add volume to the soft tissues of the face and body. These injectable substances are designed to address signs of aging, enhance facial contours, and correct volume loss. The primary goal of mjukvävnadsfyllnad is to create a more youthful and harmonious appearance.

The most common types of mjukvävnadsfyllnad are hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and adds volume. These fillers are biodegradable and gradually break down over time, with results typically lasting from six months to two years, depending on the specific product and area treated. Other types of fillers include calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethylmethacrylate microspheres, each with different properties and durations of effect.

Mjukvävnadsfyllnad can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including wrinkles and fine lines, hollowness in the cheeks or under the eyes, thinning lips, and improving the overall structure and symmetry of the face. The procedure is generally quick, often performed in a clinic setting with minimal downtime. It involves injecting small amounts of the filler material into specific areas using a fine needle or cannula. Potential side effects are typically mild and temporary, such as redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. More serious complications are rare but can include infection or vascular events. A thorough consultation with a qualified medical professional is essential to determine suitability and discuss realistic outcomes.
