Facial and Lip Fillers

Choose a Surgeon You Can Trust

Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential for ensuring safe and successful outcomes. Look for a surgeon certified by the Mexican Council of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery and a full member of the Mexican Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. These qualifications demonstrate that your surgeon is well-trained and up-to-date with the latest techniques in the field.

About the Treatment

Over time, the face undergoes dramatic changes. Skin laxity and loss of firmness lead to fine lines around the lips, eyes, and forehead. In some cases, deep grooves form, creating a tired, aged, or even distressed appearance.

Facial fillers can help correct these imperfections.

In facial plastic surgery, a variety of safe materials are available, ranging from the patient’s own fat to biologically engineered injectable products. For instance, fat can be harvested from the abdomen under local anesthesia and carefully injected into targeted areas to fill grooves and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Another highly effective and safe option is the use of chemically produced, non-animal-based materials such as hyaluronic acid. This cross-linked hyaluronic acid not only fills wrinkles but also hydrates the skin by retaining water molecules.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring component in the body that helps retain moisture in the skin. However, its production decreases over time, contributing to dermal tissue deterioration. The synthetic production of hyaluronic acid has revolutionized cosmetic medicine, providing an invaluable tool in combating the signs of aging.

This technique is widely recommended worldwide for its proven effectiveness in treating nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth), crow’s feet, neck and décolletage wrinkles, and for enhancing lip volume and achieving a more defined, sensual contour.
