What is Body Filler?
Just like dermal fillers used in the face, body filler is used to enhance, contour and volumise certain areas, and correct any asymmetry and fill any hollowing or loss of volume. Body filler is also commonly used to fill crevices such as ‘hip dips’( a dip seen when standing straight on, between the buttocks and the stomach) which many women experience but don’t particularly want to have surgical intervention to remove them. This is where body fillers are a fantastic alternative to invasive methods.
Body filler treatment can be used to enhance or even out
- Buttocks
- Breats
- Hips
- Calves
- Male chest enhancement
If you have had previous cosmetic surgery such as implants or liposuction, it is safe to have body filler following this procedure.
Ideal Candidate:
The procedure is recommended for a hollow, sunken, or asymmetric, poorly defined shape if you want a firm and sculpted shape with the help of fillers.
It is not recommended if you have:
- Autoimmune diseases
- Chronic illness or allergies
- Pregnancy
Benefits:
Like all minimally invasive treatments, the buttock filler also offers several benefits to the patient who wants to reshape their body naturally and painlessly:
- Not having to undergo surgery or general anesthesia.
- The treatment does not require the use of permanent implants.
- Since it is a non-definitive treatment, it can be adapted over time according to natural changes in the body, allowing you to maintain total control over the harmony of forms.
- After the treatment, there are no visible scars
Preparation:
Before the buttock fillers procedure, it is recommended that you follow the instructions below to achieve excellent treatment results:
- Do not take aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood thinners 48 hours before the procedure.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Make sure the procedure is performed in a clean and safe environment before treatment.
- Do an allergy test to minimize the chance of allergic reactions
- Purchase all medications prescribed by your doctor before treatment.
- Tell your doctor about the results you expect from your treatment.
Procedure:
- The session consists of an outpatient treatment, preceded by small topical anesthesia on the area to be treated.
- The surgeon performs injections of hyaluronic acid which will act in the tissues that have lost their tone and volume.
- The treatment takes about forty minutes, and the patient can immediately return to daily life.
Recovery:
Ask your doctor how to proceed after the procedure to help you recover quickly. Below are some essential tips that most doctors ask patients to follow in their treatment.
- Vigorous exercise should be avoided for 3-4 weeks after treatment.
- Smoke cigarettes and avoid alcoholic beverages.
- Use ice packs to avoid the risk of serious complications.
- The patient can return to work in a few days after the treatment. The pain and numbness will subside, and you will be able to appreciate the results thoroughly.
Body filler treatment uses injectables to add volume or restore symmetry to an area on the body. It is commonly used for breasts and buttocks as an alternative to surgery.
This means you should never get breast fillers, “butt fillers,” or fillers for spaces between your muscles. These products, which include certain types of injectable silicone, can be dangerous and can cause serious injury and even death. NEVER buy dermal fillers on the Internet.

“Some dermal fillers can last for 6 to 12 months, while other dermal fillers can last 2 to 5 years,” says Dr. Sapna Palepu of Spring Street Dermatology. The most commonly used dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound that aids in the production of collagen and elastin.

Stay out of saunas and hot showers for the first 24 hours after your lip injections so that your blood vessels don’t dilate. If you do take a shower immediately following your procedure, make sure the water is lukewarm. Avoid exercising or other strenuous activities for a full day after your injections.
Generally speaking, the best candidates for dermal fillers meet the following criteria: They have folds or wrinkles that qualify as moderate to severe. They have areas such as sunken cheeks or under eye circles that they wish to correct, but they do not wish to have surgery. They are in good physical health overall.
Rose usually recommends that you wait to begin Juvéderm or any other facial filler treatment until you are in your 40s, or have begun showing the telltale signs of aging.
