Hyaluronic Acid Fillers in Buenos Aires

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a molecule naturally present in the skin, connective tissue, and joints. Its function is to retain water and maintain tissue volume and hydration. From our late twenties onwards, the body's natural production begins to decline — contributing to facial volume loss, the appearance of lines, and loss of definition in the contours of the face.

Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers are synthetic versions of this same molecule, manufactured in pharmaceutical-grade laboratory conditions and cross-linked to extend their duration in the tissue. When injected into specific areas of the face, they restore volume, redefine contours, and hydrate the skin from within — producing natural, immediate results.

Treatment areas

Hyaluronic acid can be used in virtually every area of the face where volume loss or lack of definition is present. At Dr. Jenny's practice, the most commonly requested areas are:

Lips

Lip augmentation and definition is one of the most popular treatments. HA can add volume to thin lips, improve the definition of the lip border (cupid's bow and philtrum columns), correct asymmetries, and hydrate chronically dry lips. The key is using the right amount — typically 0.5 to 1 ml — to achieve a natural, kissable result rather than an obvious "filled" appearance.

Cheeks and midface

Cheekbone projection and midface volume are central to a youthful facial appearance. As we age, the malar fat pad descends and thins, creating a flat, tired look. HA placed at the cheekbone level restores the natural triangle of youth — lifting the midface and indirectly improving the nasolabial folds without touching them directly.

Chin and jawline

Chin projection and jawline definition can transform facial proportions dramatically. A well-projected chin balances a prominent nose, harmonizes the profile, and creates a more defined, sculpted appearance. Jawline contouring with HA builds a crisp lower facial border and reduces the appearance of jowls.

Tear troughs and under-eye area

The tear trough is the groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek. When this area loses volume, it creates a shadow that looks like dark circles — even in well-rested patients. HA carefully placed in this area with a cannula technique significantly softens the transition and reduces the appearance of dark circles.

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

These are among the first signs of facial aging. While they cannot be completely eliminated without addressing the underlying tissue movement, HA placed in the nasolabial fold and marionette line area can significantly reduce their depth and improve the overall facial expression.

Temples

Temple hollowing is often overlooked but dramatically ages the upper third of the face. HA restoration of the temporal area recreates the smooth, full contour of youth and frames the eyes and brow.

Types of fillers and brands

Not all hyaluronic acid fillers are the same. Different formulations have different properties — viscosity, elasticity, water-binding capacity — making them suitable for different areas and indications.

Dr. Jenny uses only ANMAT and FDA-certified premium brands: Juvederm (Allergan), Restylane (Galderma), and Teosyal (Teoxane). These are the same products used in the United States, Europe, and Australia — manufactured under the strictest quality controls and with the largest body of clinical evidence.

• Juvederm Voluma / Volift / Volbella — the Vycross technology range from Allergan. Each product is calibrated for a specific depth and area.
• Restylane / Restylane Lyft / Kysse — Galderma's NASHA and OBT technology products, known for their natural integration and lifting capacity.
• Teosyal RHA / PureSense — Teoxane's resilient HA range, designed to move with facial expression for the most natural results in dynamic areas like the lips.

Who is a candidate?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are suitable for a wide range of patients. Ideal candidates include:

• Adults over 18 who want to restore facial volume lost with aging
• Patients who want to improve specific features — lips, chin, cheekbones — without surgery
• Those who want a preview of what a surgical result could look like before committing to an operation
• Patients with mild to moderate facial aging who are not yet ready for a facelift
• Anyone seeking a non-permanent option with the ability to adjust or reverse the result
• Patients without active skin infections, autoimmune conditions, or blood clotting disorders
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should wait until after their pregnancy/nursing period

During the consultation, we evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine which areas and volumes will produce the most harmonious and natural result. There is no "standard treatment" — every face is different and the approach is always individualized.

The procedure

Hyaluronic acid treatments are outpatient procedures with no required downtime. A typical session follows these steps:

1. 1
   Consultation and facial mapping Detailed assessment of facial proportions, discussion of goals, and design of the treatment plan. Reference photographs are taken. We determine which areas to treat, which products to use, and the volumes involved.
2. 2
   Topical anesthesia Anesthetic cream is applied to the areas to be treated 20–30 minutes before the procedure. Most premium fillers also contain lidocaine in their formulation, making the injection itself very comfortable.
3. 3
   Injection technique Depending on the area and depth, Dr. Jenny uses either fine needles or blunt-tip cannulas. The cannula technique reduces bruising risk significantly and is preferred for tear troughs, cheeks, and temples. The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes for a multi-area treatment.
4. 4
   Immediate result assessment Results are visible immediately. Once complete, we review the result together, and minor adjustments can be made on the spot. Ice is applied to reduce any immediate swelling.
5. 5
   Aftercare instructions and follow-up You leave with written aftercare instructions. A follow-up appointment at 2 weeks allows for final assessment and any fine-tuning if needed.

Aftercare

Recovery from hyaluronic acid fillers is minimal. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. General aftercare guidelines include:

• Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours after treatment
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours — it can increase swelling and bruising
• Do not massage or press the treated areas for 2 weeks
• Avoid facial massages, facials, or high-heat treatments (sauna, steam room) for 2 weeks
• Sleep face-up for the first 2 nights to avoid pressure on injected areas
• Mild swelling and potential minor bruising are normal and resolve within 5–7 days
• Use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily — sun exposure can accelerate HA degradation

Lips may appear more swollen than the final result for the first 48–72 hours — this is normal and the result settles within a week. For cheeks, temples, and jawline, swelling is minimal and the final shape is visible within days.
