What Makes Hydrelle an Exciting New Filler?

Question:

By: Shervin Naderi, MD, FACS

Although Collagen based fillers such as Zyplast and Cosmoderm had initially dominated the market, they fell out of favor due to their short lasting results and the potential for allergic reactions.

Over the last five to ten years, we have seen the Hyaluronic Acid dermal fillers become the predominant work horse for most Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists.  These are used for reduction of nasolabial folds (smile lines), Marionette lines as well as other wrinkles on the face.  They are used for cheek enhancement as well as lip plumbing.  Tear troughs under the eyes can often be reduced using these fillers.  As with any filler, a properly trained and licensed injector with good judgment and technique is the key in success and avoiding complications.

Restylane gained FDA approval first in the United States followed by Juvederm. These two Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers have been the most versatile synthetic dermal fillers in the United States.  Other HA fillers such as Hylaform, Captique and Prevelle never became as popular.  Allergan plans on introducing a Juvederm with Lidocaine (numbing medicine) pre-mixed, in the near future.

However Hydrelle by Coapt is already here!  This is an FDA approved HA filler with a higher concentration of HA molecule and Lidocaine added.  The higher concentration of HA molecules mean that 1cc of Hydrelle will give you more HA and volume and wrinkle correction than 1cc of Restylane or Juvederm.  The added numbing medicine means that patients who require several shots in the same area for fine contouring will have less pain and more comfort during the procedure.

There is no one great filler.  Each patient needs a unique assessment and approach.  For those who are happy with Restylane or Juvederm then I would recommend sticking to what you like and what works best for you.  But for those who want to try something new, then Hydrelle may be worth a shot!

Hi Gilda, I have performed

Hi Gilda, I have performed very nice non-surgical nose contouring but only in the right patient. The reason I say that is that it is not a Rhinoplasty. But it can contour the nose and give the nose and face a very nice look in the right patient. The percentage of patients who are true perfect candidates for this procedure are not that high. But for the ones who are good candidates, very nice and immediate results are achievable. The results are not permanent and you should avoid any permanent fillers to the nose as they can cause serious complications. Safe, fillers like Restylane and Juvederm can be injected once or twice a year very easily without much down time. The cost is only the cost of the filler. I do not charge for the service but rather only for the filler which is typically on avergae $600 per syringe and most patients don't need any more than the one syringe. Again, to reiterate: I would have to see you to make sure you are an ideal candidate and I would stay far away from permanent fillers in the nose.

Hi Dr. Naderi, I would like

Hi Dr. Naderi, I would like to know your thoughts on non surgical nose jobs. I would like to get one since I love my nose but I do not like the small hump at the bridge of my nose. Are nonsurgical nose jobs permanent? And about how much does it cost? Have you performed these and if so how were the results? Thank you.

Dr. Naderi offers a host of non-surgical cosmetic procedures such as the liquid midface lift using fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm.  They are temporary solutions unlike permanent, plastic surgery procedures. Another such procedure is the non-surgical nose job which also uses fillers or injections to reshape the nose.
