Yes it is. In most cases you will have minimal discomfort with minimal downtime.
Immediate Gratification.
You usually do not have to wait to see results. As soon as some mild swelling (and rarely mild bruising) is gone you can enjoy your result.
This is what it is.
A dermal filler is a product that is designed to be placed into the substance of the skin to "plump up" or enhance an area that has changed with aging. Sometimes a dermal filler is used to augment (enlarge) an area like the lips or cheeks to gain fullness and richness. Dermal fillers are commonly used to correct changes in aging that occur from loss of volume. When the volume is restored in that particular area, a more rejuvenating look can be obtained. Sometimes dermal fillers are used to soften aging changes from structural loss (sagging skin) of the face, especially the jowls or the lines that form from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
