For many, the key to a youthful face is the right amount of volume in the right areas, resulting in plump cheeks and smoothness under the eyes and near the mouth. Over time, however, the face tends to lose this essential volume, as well as its refreshed appearance. Our highly skilled plastic surgeons offer a range of filler products capable of restoring volume for a more flattering appearance at any age. Learn more about these dermal fillers below.

What Are Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injections designed to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines in the face. They are a great choice for improving the appearance without surgery, although some patients opt for filler to boost the results of their cosmetic surgeries. Treatment often takes less than 30 minutes with no associated downtime. Patients often enjoy an immediate improvement from their filler treatment, with results lasting months or years, depending on the filler that is used.

Types of Filler

There are several types of filler that can be used during treatment, including:

Juvéderm®: JUVÉDERM® is a suite of fillers that utilizes hyaluronic acid to deliver natural-looking results. Hyaluronic acid, or simply HA, is a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a role in keeping skin moisturized. JUVÉDERM® products can be used to add volume and definition to the jawline, chin, and lips, as well as fine lines, wrinkles, and folds.

Restylane®: Restylane® offers a range of volume-boosting filler options, each of which is designed to address a specific area of the face, including the nasolabial folds near the nose, which tends to be one of the first locations to show signs of aging and volume loss.

The purpose of filler is to significantly improve volume in the face; however, only a skilled practitioner can provide you with the natural-looking results you desire.
