Hyaluronic acid

As we get older, various changes take place on our face. Thus, the skin in the area of the eyelids thins and loses its elasticity, the fat in the area between the eyelid and the buccal area decreases and subsides resulting in the creation of a groove (Tear Trough Groove), the fat in the middle face, cheekbones and cheeks subsides resulting in loss of volume in this area, while gradually reducing the bone of this area as well as the bone in the orbital boundary, with result in poor tissue support.

Finally, it increases the fat in the orbit, and protrudes ahead as it happens in the abdomen. All this results in the groove of tears becoming more intense with time, and the “puddle” or gouva that is characterized by the above architectural changes to show a loss of volume, which needs replacement by some material.
The best material for this purpose is hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronate needs to replace the loss of volume in other areas such as cheekbones, smile folds, the static wrinkles of the mesophryon and the area of the lips, both on the lips themselves, as well as on the lines of bitterness or the corners of the lips, so that they rise slightly when they are fallen, and instead of pessimism and bitterness, optimism and positive messages are emitted, such as the ancient Greek look in the wonderful statues of the classical of antiquity as created by classical sculpture with the expression of Callus.
Dr. Nikolaos Trakos is an ophthalmoplastic surgeon with many years of experience in anatomy and surgery of the area and has evolved a three-dimensional technique of correction of the Lacrimal Groove, which he calls “Facial Eye Renewal” achieving natural results that give patients a younger, fresher and less tired look.
The technique of hyaluronic acid insertion is painless, takes 15-30 minutes and lasts in time.

What is Hyaluronic?

Hyaluronic acid is used as an implant or otherwise filling or filler and is a gel-like substance that is injected to restore the loss of volume or fill a static wrinkle or applied to the wrinkle of a crease.
We all lose face volume as well as elasticity and firmness to the skin. Age, diet, smoking, decreased hydration, sun, sleep patterns and stress are all factors involved.
The most commonly used substance used as an implant is the vitreous, because it excels against other materials since it is malleable, reversible and more friendly to the facial tissues.
Hyaluronic is an implant that provides immediate results, whether used to fill wrinkles and folds or restore the shape and volume of the lips. Many people prefer the product of hyaluronic acid over collagen because it is softer and tends to last longer.
Similar to collagen, hyaluronic acid is produced by our own body and is found in our tissues, and unlike collagen, hyaluronic acid does not require special allergic tests before its injection. It is a molecule that attracts and binds water, moisturizing the tissues, the skin where it is injected and increases the volume.
Surgery in the past was the only option to reverse the changes and signs of time, but with significant recovery time, sometimes giving unnatural results. In recent years, hyaluronic acid implants offer natural results, are minimally invasive, having minimal recovery time, and are often presented as “Meal treatments” (‘’Lunch treatments”).
The implants and Botox are like the artist’s touch on a painting, which slows down time and age or turns the clock back. Hyaluronic acid can be used to add volume to the eye area, cheekbones, the smile area, the esophagus and the lips. Parts of the face that have been badly affected or damaged by time can have the opportunity to be rehabilitated and gain a fullness that looks natural.
Restylane, Teosyal and Juvederm are some products that are hyaluronic and offer maximum safety, having their approval from the American Medicines Agency and the European Medicines Agency.

In which areas can Hyaluronic Acid enter?

– Groove of Tears (the groove between the eyelid and cheek)
– Smile lines (also known as nasolabial grooves)
– Marionette or Bitterness lines (the grooves from the corners of the mouth to the chin)
– Augmentation of Cheekbones and Cheek – Average Face – lifts and gives volume to the face
– Lip Augmentation – increases lip volume and accentuates the lip limit
– Jaw and Chin Augmentation – sculpture and improvement of the jaw and face contour)
– Acne Scars & Scars-filling on the imprints and shrinkage of the scar underneath
– Mesophryon and Forehead Wrinkles – when Botox does not completely erase these wrinkles
– Lip wrinkles – vertical wrinkles, most often caused by smoking or genes

An essential element of any surgery, especially cosmetic surgery, is to provide sufficient time for the patient to be informed.

I'm afraid to do hyaluronic because I still have asymmetries and swelling from the last time I did to another doctor! Can the problem be fixed?

Dr. Nikolaos Trakos was perhaps the first to bring hyaluronidase, the injectable enzyme-antidote, to Greece from Los Angeles in 2008 and started to treat complications from the wrong technique of other doctors and helped patients and doctors to solve them. Thus, within a few minutes the hyaluronic acid you have put in can be dissolved, and help you solve your problem, and put new hyaluronic in place of the old one with the appropriate technique and experience.
