The most important things to consider before deciding to have face augmentation are the type of the skin and injector. Face augmentation with dermal filler is a non-surgical operation that shows results immediately and has almost no healing process.

For the comfort of the patient during the operation, a topical anesthetic ointment is applied to the operating area. After 30 minutes, the dermatologist cleans the operating area and injects the filler gel under the surface of the skin by using an ultrathin injector. After the injection, the face is reshaped with massages. The effects of the treatment last 6 to 12 months according to the type of the filler substance.

Patients must stop taking aspirin, vitamin E supplements, and other anti-inflammatory medications 1 week before the operation. These medications and supplements may increase bleeding and bruising in the operating area.
