Our Face is Not an Inflatable Balloon: Avoid Common Mistakes in Facial Surgery
One of the most common mistakes in facial surgery is assuming that the face behaves like an inflatable balloon. To explain, imagine a balloon. When it lacks enough air, it looks wrinkled. Inflating it might smooth those wrinkles, but the result is not a natural facial rejuvenation. Instead, the balloon appears puffy and exaggerated.
This mistake is common among patients who choose to inject synthetic facial fillers. While it seems like a quick fix for wrinkles, it often leads to an unnatural appearance. Moreover, many of these products are not approved for use in facial tissues.
- Procedures Performed by Unqualified Personnel: Many of these facial aesthetic treatments are done by unqualified individuals, increasing the risk of complications.
- Excessive Filler Use: Often, excessive amounts of facial fillers are injected with the mistaken belief that more filler will produce better and longer-lasting results.
- Inflammatory Reactions: Synthetic fillers can cause chronic inflammatory reactions, as the immune system recognizes them as foreign bodies.
The correct approach is to perform a facelift to lift sagging tissues, remove excess skin, and complement this with the injection of autologous stem cells in specific areas of the face, achieving a natural and safe facial rejuvenation.
