Oslo Plastic Surgery performs wrinkle treatments with various injection materials.

Over the years and as life progresses, wrinkles develop, most of all on the face due to less elasticity in the skin. This can be due to genetic factors and/or environmental and external influences such as sunbathing, diet, smoking, obesity, alcohol and solarium. These factors must be worked on yourself before a cosmetic treatment can have its full effect.

Possible treatments are medical injections of material that has a lifespan of 6 months to 1 year. This substance is injected into the wrinkle area, as well as fine and deep wrinkles that can occur around the mouth, eyes, cheeks and forehead. In the case of muscle-related wrinkles in the glabella, so-called frown lines, the reason for this is muscle hyperactivity. This is treated with a special injection that paralyzes the muscles so that the wrinkles are smoothed out. This can be done at intervals of a year. Dimples and coarse wrinkles can be advantageously treated with fat transplantation using your own fat. See our section on fat transplantation and treatment list. The injection is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes per area.

Due to the Marketing Control Act, we are not allowed to state the names of muscle relaxants or filler materials. Please contact us and we will give you full information about our treatments and which products we use to perform wrinkle treatment.

1. Wrinkle treatment with injections to fill in the appearance of small pits that occur with age such as in the Naso labial area, eyelid or upper cheek area or chin.

2. Wrinkle treatment with injections for muscle relaxing injections such as angry wrinkles between the eyes.

3. Double chin removal without surgery with injection of specific drug

For less unhealthy fat distribution, excess or accumulation such as in a double chin, this can be treated with injections.

A newer and less extensive treatment is a simple injection of the drug that will dissolve the fat in the area being treated. It will therefore not involve surgery. The injection treatment takes about 30 minutes.

Up to a maximum of 6 treatment sessions can be performed. Most people notice an improvement after 2-4 treatment sessions. The time interval between treatments should be at least 4 weeks.

Such treatment may have certain side effects such as pain, swelling, fluid retention and bruising.

4. Thread lift
Some women and men look older prematurely, or they want to look a little younger. Over time, the skin on the cheeks and neck becomes wrinkled and sagging. Some develop a double chin. It must be remembered that smoking, stress, exposure to sunlight, moderate to severe obesity, excessive alcohol consumption and poor diet are some of the factors that not only accelerate aging and increase the risk of complications, but also reduce the possibility of a successful cosmetic result. It is therefore important to correct the conditions in advance of a thread lift so that the results are favorable. A thread lift can be a good solution for those who are not candidates for surgery, for those who have small changes they want to correct, for those who do not want recovery time, and for those with minor relapses after previous face lifts. The advantages of a thread lift are that the process is fast, inexpensive, leaves no scars, no recovery time (time to recover from the surgery) is required and the process is done under local anesthesia. The disadvantages are that thread lifts can provide short-term results (expected duration after thread lifts is between 3 to 5 years) and there will be little effect if you have a lot of excess skin.

With a thread lift, you can lift the neck, cheeks, jawline and temple area. An assessment will provide answers to your needs and which solution will suit you.

For optimal results and to avoid complications, it is recommended that you maintain a normal weight and follow the guidelines above as closely as possible. If you smoke, you must quit at least 1 month before surgery and continue to do so for 2 weeks after surgery.

The operation does not in principle provide grounds for sick leave. Physical exercise and hard physical work should wait for a few days.

You must be healthy on the day of surgery. If you are in doubt whether you have a cold or similar, you must contact us. The operation is not performed when you have the flu with a fever or cough or other infection. Before the operation you will receive a prescription for antibiotics, possibly painkillers and a cleansing solution 40 mg/ml which you can buy at the pharmacy.

The day before and on the day of surgery, you should shower at home with a cleansing solution. This is a disinfectant soap that should be rinsed off with water and the skin should be dried with a clean towel. Wear clean clothes when you leave home. All jewelry, piercings, and nail polish must be removed no later than the day before surgery and replaced 7 to 10 days after surgery.

You must arrive at the surgery fasting. This means that you should not eat food 6 hours before the surgery, but you can drink water and juice (not milk or juice), chew gum/throat lozenges up to 4 hours before the surgery. You must arrange in advance with someone to pick you up at the clinic about 1 hour after the surgery, as you will not be able to drive yourself or take a taxi alone.

It is important that you stop taking blood-thinning medications about 14 days before the operation. For other medications, consult the clinic before the operation. Large amounts of garlic and health food preparations must also not be consumed.
