Most people don't like their wrinkles.
It is becoming increasingly common for people to look in to surgical solutions.
There are two types of injectables to help with the appearance of wrinkles, a synthetic version and an option to transfer fat from one area of your body to another.
Fat transfer has the advantage of being completely organic and hypoallergenic, and can give results that will make you very happy with your appearance.
As you age, everything that makes your skin appear supple and smooth begins to break down.
The muscles underneath your skin will slowly lose their ability to keep skin where it's supposed to be and gravity will take its toll.
There are many, many people that look in to injectables as a solution to this aging process.
Injectables work wonderfully, because that is how they are designed.
However, synthetic procedures carry more risk.
Most synthetics are made of bovine collagen.
There are people that are allergic to this compound and there's always a chance your body will reject the foreign material.
There are others who just aren't comfortable with having lab-made chemicals injected in to them.
Since most people care the most about the wrinkles on their faces, they are especially cautious.
You wouldn't want your face, the thing that people see the most, to react badly to any procedure.
There is another way though.
Fat transfer is a process by which your doctor takes fat from one area of your body (the thighs or buttocks are both popular areas to draw from) and is then put under the wrinkles that you are worried about.
Getting fat removed from the thighs is usually a popular suggestion for men and women alike.
For those wrinkles though, this is a wonderful procedure.
It is non-allergic, because your body produced the material.
You aren't as likely to reject anything because it is all natural and does not have any inorganic compounds in it.
Fat transfer won't work for every area though.
It works best in areas that are non mobile.
Because it is natural, it will shift like it will anywhere in your body.
The face is an ideal place because it's relative movement compared to the rest of the body is minimal.
The breasts are not a good option both for their movement and because it can make mammogram readings more difficult.
If you're looking to improve your skin's look, it is important to discuss the options you have with your doctor beforehand.
These discussions will help you make the decision that is best for you and your body.
Your doctor will be able to examine you and determine if you are a good candidate for any of these procedures and he or she will help you understand how to get the best results.
