Sherrell Aston Addresses the Popularity of Dermal Fillers and PossibleLong Term Side EffectsNEW YORK, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ What to do in a sagging economy Notnecessarily the quick fix that you think, says Dr. Sherrell Aston, one of thecountry's leading plastic surgeons.Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gathered a panel ofexperts to discuss possible safety concerns regarding the use of dermalfillers. Although the injections have been approved to fill in severe wrinklesaround the nasolabial fold (the creases running from the nose to the cornersof the mouth), the FDA is concerned that their extensive use in othersituations may present new safety issues that should be addressed.According to the FDA, the injections are increasingly being used to augmenttissue volume such as the lips, rather than just fill in the nasolabial fold,and the FDA asked panelists if new safety data is needed before suchapplications can be approved.Furthermore, as the majority of pre-market approval studies are conducted onfair-skinned subjects, the FDA is concerned increasing use of the cosmeticinjections by African American and Latin American skin types may lead tohitherto undocumented side effects such as pigmentation problems. Themanufacturers of popular soft tissue filler, Artefill, have recently filedbankruptcy as well.Dr. Sherrell Aston, leading aesthetic plastic surgeon in Manhattan, states"Fillers are being overdone. 
People are being told they need volumereplacement when they haven't lost volume. Some people are having fillers tothe point of looking odd with faces that are just too big for their body, andcontour problems like lumps and bumps becoming noticeable. Aston continues, "Despite the abundance of these less invasive proceduresfor facial rejuvenation, facelifts are increasingly popular choice forconsumers as many patients who have opted for nonsurgical procedures aloneended up disappointed when outcomes didn't meet their expectations." Patientsroutinely spend thousands of dollars on less invasive treatments when asurgical procedure could have brought more satisfying long-term results fasterand more cost-effectively. Recipients of facelifts today require 10 days to two weeks to attend a socialfunction; and three weeks to return to full athletic activity Short-incisionfacelifts look very good in seven to 10 days.

Today's facelift procedures aretechnically sophisticated and highly individualized for the particular patientdepending upon their anatomy and needs. Most patients in their 40s and early 50s donot need volume added in their face, but rather volume repositioning of thesagging tissues.
