Collagen Injections

Collagen injections involve the injection of liquid collagen to fill in contour deformities occurring in the skin.  This liquid collagen is made from the connective tissues of cows  (Zyderm and Zyplast produced by Collagen Corporation ), and pigs (Fibrel produced by Mentor Corporation).  Approximately 3-10 % of those receiving collagen injections have an allergic reaction. ( Skin testing should be performed prior to this procedure. ) Dermalogen™ is a collagen derived from human dermis, and has less chance of allergic reaction. The results relatively the same as those obtained with animal collagen.  Autologen™ is the collagen prepared from a patients own skin.  The injections are approved for the filling of defects, but not for gross implant or area enlargement.   The treatment results usually only last several months before they need to be redone.  

 If you are allergic to collagen then fat injection may be for you.  Transfer of your own fatty tissue from one area t another often results in the desired contouring or filling effect.
