Breast Augmentation With Fillers
Hyaluronic acid based fillers are very popular fillers because they resemble the natural based hyaluronic acid in the body, with the exeption that the hyaluronic acid of the filler has been processed so that it lasts longer.
One new procedure that has been proposed is breast augmentation with fillers. This has a natural advantage of being a relatively minor and safe procedure compared with the more commonly performed surgical enhancement with the insertion of prostheses. The filler is injected after prior local anesthetic administration and the breast enlarged by 1 to 2 cup sizes. Usually an initial volume 100ml is used for each breast.
Juvaderm (Juviderm, or more correctly known as Juvederm) unfortunately has not been recommended to be used as a volume filler for the breast primarily because large volumes are needed for this type of procedure, and Juvaderm comes only in 0.08ml syringes. The recommended preparation for breast augmentation is Macrolane VRF which comes in 10ml syringes, made by Q-Med, a company which also produces Restylane, another filler recommended for lip enhancement.
In summary, the advantages of breast enhancement using fillers as compared with surgical enhancement are:
Faster procedure
Safer procedure
Affordable breast augmentation
No scars
No general anesthetic needed
No overnight stay needed
The product is formulated to last 12 to 18 months. The hyaluronic acid gel is gradually metabolised by the body and is ultimately completely eliminated, and is so safe that one can add on further volume if one is not satisfied with the original volume achieved, or one may have a repeat of the original injection.
The cost of this injection is about $4500. Top-ups will cost approximately 1/2 of this amount as less filler will be needed to maintain the volume even after a year.
