Fillers are treatments that seek to redefine facial and corporal contours through the use of liquid implants performed with biocompatible materials, via microcannulas, implanted on deep anatomical planes through a minimally invasive procedure. The most commonly liquid implant is the PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) once it is permanent, stable and inert in the area in which it is applied.
Bioplasty’s technique has been applied to harmonize and define areas such as lips, chin and nose and hands. To improve the size of the buttocks, thighs, calves.
Breast augmentation through the technique of Bioplasty is currently being studied. Brazil is at the forefront of bioplasty and is considered a center of reference for these techniques.
AREAS THAT CAN BENEFIT FROM BIOPLASTY
Cheek Bioplasty (malar) – facial bioplasty can correct imperfections and project and plump the cheeks, a sign of youth that fades with aging.
Buttock Bioplasty – Brazilian butt lift buttock bioplasty can enhance and increase the gluteus. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia without the need of a hospital admitance. Patients are able to participate actively in the procedure, voicing his/hers opinions.
Jaw Line Bioplasty – jaw line bioplasty can improve the dividing line between the face and neck. Applying fillers to the area also reduces tissue flaccidity, having results similar to those of a face-lift, especially when done in association with cheek (malar) bioplasty.
Nose bioplasty – with nose bioplasty, we are able to lift, thin and project the tip of the nose, reduce the nasal base, and improve nasal dorsal appearance. The procedure is performed with local anesthesia. Patients are required to wear bandaging for a period of 7 to 15 days.
Calf Bioplasty – bioplasty for calf augmentation is recommended for those with noticeably small calf muscles, disproportional to the rest of the body, who showed no improvement after undergoing physical treatments and workouts.
Chin Bioplasty (mentum) – chin’s bioplasty is performed to augment, protrude, and correct asymmetries and imperfections through a minimally invasive procedure.
Pectoral Bioplasty – patients presenting hypotrophy of the pectoral muscles, Poland syndrome (underdevelopment or absence of the chest muscle) or muscle asymmetry are candidates for this procedure. It is also recommended for patients who have disproportional chest muscles in comparison to muscles of other areas of the body, and who have not obtained improvements in the development of such muscles with physical training and exercise.
Shoulder Bioplasty – bioplasty for deltoid augmentation is performed to reestablish corporal harmony in patients with muscular asymmetry or hypotrophy, as means of correcting scars or depressions caused by the loss of adipose tissues, amongst other conditions.
Lipodystrophy (seropositive patients) – bioplasty has shown results in seropositive patients who present, as side effects of treatments to this condition, loss of fat in certain areas of the body and especially on the face. The use of fillers on this area through bioplasty eliminates the undesired appearance of a thin face, and helps patients regain their self-esteem.
Lip Bioplasty – lip bioplasty can plump thin lips, improve its contours, better define the Cupid’s bow, and correct imperfections.
Hand Bioplasty – the hands also suffer with aging and with the loss of conjunctive tissue. The skin becomes more flaccid and stained, and the back of the hand reveals tendons and veins, giving the hand a senile aspect. Bioplasty can recuperate the lost volumes and aid in disguising veins and tendons, rejuvenating its appearance.
Bioplasty for the correction of wrinkles, scars and depressions – Bioplasty can be performed for the correction of wrinkles, hollows, scars and depressions. Filling the nasogenian fold, as well as those deep wrinkles on corners of the mouth (commonly known as Chinese mustache).
Bioplasty for buttock augmentation, reshapes, increases the volume and lifts the gluteus. Trochanteric depressions (on the sides of the buttock), an unfavorable aspect of the female gluteus, can be filled through the use of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) which is a liquid implant.
As the Bioplasty of the gluteus (buttocks augmentation) is accomplished:

BUTTOCK AUGMENTATION BRAZIL – BIOPLASTY
Cleaning of the skin of the gluteus;
With the seating patient and straight column we make one of the demarcations in the support line;
the gluteus are numbered in 4 quadrants of the demarcation with the mold;
Antisepsis of the plac;
Placement of sterile fields.
The amount of liquid implant for the Bioplasty of the gluteus varies according to indication, for great amounts we accomplished the procedure in stages, a reasonable amount for first application is among 80 – 150 ml.
The product usually used is the PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate microspheres) that is accepted biologically and that has been used in medicine since 1945, being this an implantation with definitive result.
Bioplasty of the buttocks is an outpatient procedure, performed under local anesthesia and the patient is awake and cooperate during the whole process. The procedure is carried without cuts and without the need of sutures, through a no traumatic special microcannula.
This procedure has also been accomplished in many men that try to improve the harmony of the gluteus.

Lip Augmentation
“Lip Augmentation with Bioplasty – Fillers to redefine facial contour whithout cuts – Brazil. ”
Lip bioplasty can plump thin lips, improve its contours, better define the Cupid’s bow, correct imperfections and significantly improve harmony between the lips and the face.
Considerations: since lips are only naturally protected and moistened by the saliva, patients must protect the lips from sun exposure and keep the lips well moisturized as to avoid discomfort and chapping.
Enhance your lips with lip bioplasty without bleeds or cuts.
Lip bioplasty plays an important aesthetic role in perfecting, molding and enhancing lips, resulting on sensual and full lips.
As this procedure may utilize biomaterials that are not absorbed by the body, we strongly recommend the application of less filler than desired by the patient on a first session. A complementary procedure (with no additional costs) can be scheduled 20 to 30 days after the first. Applying the filler in stages allows for a safer, risk-free procedure, preventing undesirable results.
For those looking for a longer lasting solution for lip augmentation, bioplasty is the new trend. Since lips are such sensitive and delicate areas, we give preference to products such as hyaluronic acid (absorbable) or polyacrylamide (permanent). The body reabsorbs hyaluronic acid after 6 to 9 months of application. There are many products available for lip augmentation, though we suggest the use of hyaluronic acid. Below is a list of such products.

Neither stitches nor cuts are necessary. It is required for the patient to wear gloves for a few days and to avoid heavy labor using the hands.
Associated treatments, to better improve the quality of the skin, such as peelings, cosmiatry, and Laser / photo rejuvenation, maybe be indicated to minimize stains and improve the overall appearance of the hands.
Nose Job Bioplasty
This is a technique used to lift the tip of the nose, projecting it forward, improving the alar nose appearance.
In order to lift the nose by increasing the nasal-labial angle, a small orifice is made with a 40 x 1,2 mm needle at the nasal base and a microcannula is inserted up to the anterior nasal spine. Circa 0,15 ml (depending of the nose) of PMMA of 30% is injected, which is equivalent to 5 clicks of the injection pistol.
With nose bioplasty, we are able to lift, thin and project the tip of the nose, reduce the nasal base, and improve nasal dorsal appearance.
