Aging is a natural factor, and there is no way to stop it. The sad part is that it causes our skin to become saggy, and the face loses volume. While other parts of the body have no issues, the facial region shows a lot of change. It is because of the loss of volume and the wrinkles forming on the whole face. However, things like Facial Implants and Facial Fat Grafting can make you look younger for a long time.
The real issue most people face is the lack of knowledge about which method is the best. So, if you are also facing confusion here, we will discuss everything you need to know. We will also discuss what is the best one for you.
What are the Facial Implants?
As the aging process happens, the skin becomes saggy, and the face loses volume from many places. Usually, these places are:
- Cheekbones
- Chin
- Sides of the nose
- Jawline
The facial implant is the process of inserting the implants under the skin. These implants either go on top of the bone or right below the skin. In this way, facial volume is restored. Folds and wrinkles are reduced. The implants are made from different materials like silicone.
Facial implant insertion is done under general anesthesia and requires hospital admission. There are some cuts and stitches which have a longer recovery time.
What is Facial Fat Grafting?
The other method of looking younger and defying the aging process, for the time being, is Facial Fat Grafting. It is more of a natural process. There are two major parts in this process. One is the donor, and the other in the face that receives it. The donors are:
- Thighs
- Tummy
- Neck
- Arms
The fat is taken from these parts of the body, and after purifying, it is injected into the face. In this way, the face gets a fuller look. Fat grafting restores volume to specific areas of the face, just like dermal fillers. But the results from Fat grafting are more natural and long lasting as compared to fillers.
Fat Grafting can be easily done under local anesthesia at a clinic set up. You will not need to visit the hospital. There are no cuts, stitches or scars so the recovery is safer and quicker.
Which of these is better?
Both of these methods of increasing the facial volume are very effective. The reason is that they make you look younger.
The Facial Implants method is usually better when the body loses mass due to any deformities or the skeletal structure is quite deficient. It can be because of aging or any other factors. These are usually the best choice for the chin or jawline region. Implants will permanently enhance your bony structure.
On the other hand, the Facial Fat Grafting process is very different. It helps to restore volume to certain deficient areas. The fullness is restored more naturally. The fat also improves the quality of your skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Fat is also a natural part of your own body and free of implant related complications.
Final Verdict
Facial treatment to look younger is getting popular day by day. It is because everyone wants to look better. One procedure may be better suited for an individual due to many reasons. Share your desired results with your plastic surgeon. He will help you choose the right method for your facial rejuvenation.
