How long does dermal filler last?
Rewind publishes six to twelve months, and the range depends on which gel was used and on the person it was placed in. Areas that move constantly, such as the mouth corners, generally give up their volume sooner than a bridge or a chin.
Which filler product will be used on me?
The clinic's list carries one domestic gel and two imported ones, sold per cubic centimetre. The doctor selects by what the area needs in firmness and spread; a preference you arrive with is discussed, and so is the reason if a different gel suits the site better.
How much filler does one area take?
Filler is measured in cubic centimetres, and a syringe is the unit of both product and price. Small areas such as the tear trough take a fraction of one; a bridge or a chin can take more. The number is agreed at the examination, before anything is opened.
Will there be bruising or swelling afterwards?
Mild swelling or bruising can occur and settles within a few days according to the clinic's own guidance. A cold compress helps with a bruise. Plan photographs, events or a flight home for after that window.
When can I exercise, drink alcohol or use a sauna?
Rewind asks patients to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and sauna for one day, and to keep from touching or pressing the treated area. Heat and pressure are the two things that move fresh gel out of position.
Is filler or fat grafting better under the eyes?
They are different undertakings. Hyaluronic acid is placed in one appointment and absorbs over months; fat grafting is a surgical procedure with its own recovery and its own variability in how much tissue survives. Which one is appropriate depends on your examination, and the surgeon here performs both.
Can filler replace a nose operation?
For a low bridge or a small irregularity, gel produces a same-day change with no incision. For a wide bony base, a deviation or a tip that needs cartilage, it does not, and the nose is also the highest vascular-risk area in filler practice. Expect a plain answer at the consultation about which category you fall into.
What are the serious risks of dermal filler?
The dangerous complication is vascular: gel entering or compressing a vessel, which can cause skin death and, in cases reported in the ophthalmology literature, loss of vision. Lumps, asymmetry, prolonged swelling, a bluish tint under thin skin and delayed nodules are the more common problems.
Can hyaluronic acid filler be removed?
Yes. Hyaluronidase breaks the gel down, and Rewind lists dissolving as its own per-area treatment. Filler placed elsewhere can also be dissolved here, though bring whatever information you have about the product, because gels that are not hyaluronic acid do not respond to the enzyme.
Can I have filler and a toxin injection in one appointment?
Frequently, because they solve different halves of the same complaint. The order and the placement are decided by the doctor after examining you, and anything injected into the same area within recent months should be disclosed first.
Is anaesthesia used, and how uncomfortable is it?
No anaesthetic protocol for this injection is published by the clinic, so none is described here; ask at booking. Sensitivity varies by area, and the under-eye and nose are reported as more sensitive than a cheek or a fold.
How early in a Seoul trip should filler be booked?
Early enough to be reviewed before you leave. Because swelling settles over a few days, an appointment in the first half of a stay lets the doctor see the settled result and make any adjustment while you are still in the city.
