Collagen Implants and Fat Injections in Chicago, Illinois

Collagen is a form of protein that is useful for softening wrinkle lines in the fold between the nostril and the outer corner of the mouth, as well as frown lines and deep lines in the upper and lower lip. Skin testing is required to screen patients for potential allergic reactions to collagen; some patients may develop allergic symptoms during use.

The effects of collagen last from four to six months, requiring repeated injections. The short duration of collagen's effectiveness protects the patient from overcorrections or prolonged allergic reactions.

SoftForm Collagen Facial Implants - we are using SoftForm facial implants to enhance the appearance and shape of lips by providing a more defined lip border and giving added fullness. This procedure is done in the office, takes about 35-40 minutes and is totally reversible.

Fat Injections can be used for reasons similar to collagen, but may not last any longer. Fat is also much more difficult to use in finer wrinkle lines because of its bulky nature. Nevertheless, fat injections effectively diminish certain facial wrinkle lines and is also commonly used to give fuller lips.
