Hip dip fillers

We use Lanluma to build up volume on larger areas of the body. This is a different type of filler than fillers based on hyaluronic acid (such as Stylage) or calcium (such as Radiesse). Lanluma is made of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and stimulates the production of collagen in the body. The volume therefore becomes visible gradually, 3 to 6 months after the treatment. So you need some patience before you see the result.

The treatment procedure consists of the following parts: a free intake interview of 10 minutes, an anaesthetic, the administrative processing, the treatment itself, instructions from the doctor for the best possible result and a check-up appointment if needed.

To start with, you will receive personal advice from one of our doctors. Our doctors are specialized in creating and restoring volume in the body. During a non-binding intake of 15 minutes you express your wishes to the doctor and the doctor will draw up a treatment plan based on this. The doctor will also tell you what to expect from the treatment and discuss possible alternatives. You can also plan this non-binding and free intake interview separately from a treatment.

You can start taking arnica tablets a few days before the treatment. This is not necessary, but it is allowed. Arnica tablets reduce the chance of swelling and bruising. You are also more likely to bruise if you drink alcohol, smoke, eat garlic and use blood-thinning drugs such as ibuprofen.

We ask that you arrive at least 15 minutes in advance. We then have the time for the administrative processing.

The doctor will first mark the area with you, then anesthetize the puncture site of the cannula. A cannula is inserted and from that point the desired area is filled.

You will experience some bruising, redness and slight swelling after the treatment. This is most visible in the first 3 days. The entire deswelling period lasts 2 weeks. Also, 20 to 30 percent of the initial volume will decrease. You have also received some instructions from the doctor. It is important to follow these carefully, for the best possible result. For example, for the next 5 days after the treatment, you should massage the area for 5 minutes for 5 times a day.

When you come for the first time, it is important that you know that all fillers have a build-up period, including Lanluma. You may have to come back a few times for the desired result. Once the desired result has been achieved, it stays visible for several years (see the frequently asked questions). After that, a touch up is needed. This will probably require less than with the first treatment, but this differs per person and depends on your wishes.

It is possible to have a check-up 6 to 8 weeks after the treatment. If you suffer from bumps, asymmetry or other irregularities, we can treat them free of charge. It is also possible to schedule a retreatment if, for example, you are not yet satisfied with the volume or you are still building up.
