Filling and prosthesis are often thought of as the same; However, their goals, behaviors and risk profiles are different. These two methods should not be evaluated in the same category when performing aesthetic planning.
What is a prosthesis?
A prosthesis is a structural material placed to give a certain volume and shape. It provides more controlled volume planning in areas such as breast, hip or chin.
What is Filling?
Fillers are mostly used for volume and feathering in areas such as the face. However, body fillers may carry different risks and are not considered a safe approach in every region.
Why Aren't They the Same Thing?
The prosthesis is a material with predefined placement and volume. Filling may show different spread and behavior. For this reason, it is not right to present the same solution for every problem.
Why Am I More Cautious About Body Fillers?
Uncontrolled filling applications, especially in areas such as the breasts or hips, may cause slippage, infection and more difficult correction processes. That's why the safety line is always the first criterion.
