Myth 1: Dermal Fillers Make You Look Plastic
Dermal fillers improve the appearance of your skin by boosting collagen production, lifting your facial muscles, and reducing wrinkles. Depending on which dermal filler the surgeon or dermatologist injects, the effects of a dermal filler can last from three to six months or upwards of a year or longer. Thus, dermal fillers do not make you look “plastic” unless an unprofessional or unskilled person administers them or you get them too often.
Myth 2: It Doesn’t Matter Which Dermal Filler You Get
There are different types of dermal fillers for a reason. One filler can be better at reducing wrinkles, while another is better at plumping your skin. Additionally, each filler has its lifespan. For example, the filler calcium hydroxyapatite is better positioned to treat deep frown lines and crow’s feet. Poly (methyl methacrylate), on the other hand, is better positioned to restore volume to your skin.
Myth 3: Dermal Fillers Are the Same As a Face Lift
Altogether, dermal fillers have properties that aid in lifting, firming, and smoothening your skin. However, filler injection is not a replacement for invasive surgery. If the skin near your eyes sags progressively or the skin at your jowls droops significantly, then it is likely that a plastic surgeon will need to make incisions and cut away excess skin. Not to mention, dermal fillers are less permanent than a face lift.
