A plump, heart-shaped face is one of the hallmarks of youth. As we age, our skin begins to sag from loss of collagen and the subcutaneous fat thins, causing the face to become increasingly sunken and hollow in appearance.
Facial fillers use collagen, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite to rejuvenate facial skin by reducing wrinkles and scars, enhancing lips and replacing lost facial volume.
My practice offers a full menu of today’s latest dermal fillers. Fillers can be an excellent choice for improving the appearance of certain facial wrinkles and adding volume to the skin.
Injectable fillers are very effective for deep facial wrinkles and are often used to treat the lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth (known as nasolabial folds, laugh lines or parentheses lines). At Savalia Plastic Surgery, fillers are often used to enhance cheeks by restoring a youthful facial fullness or to enhance lips by adding volume lost due to age.
Filler injections may be combined with other med spa treatments such as BOTOX® injections. They can also be used to enhance the results of facial cosmetic surgery performed by Dr. Nirav Savalia.
Facial injectable fillers require a small amount of downtime. Typically, one may experience some temporary swelling or redness at the injection site for one or two days. Occasionally it is possible to develop a visible bruise in the area of the injection, which may require five to seven days to disappear entirely. You must plan appropriately and far enough in advance of meaningful life or work events to allow for a beautiful result!
Improvement and results are visible immediately after treatment and can last from six months to two years, depending on the brand of filler used and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler material.
JUVÉDERM Voluma is the first and only injectable filler that is FDA-approved to add volume instantly to the cheeks. It achieves a subtle lift, helping to restore contour and a more youthful profile for up to two years. It is formulated differently than JUVÉDERM, and is focused on the cheek area. Highlights include the following:
Though it is one of the newer injectables on the market, Belotero can offer many benefits, even for men and women who rely on other facial filler treatments. Here are just a few areas where Belotero can be effective:
Collagen is an essential building block of the skin which gives it both elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen breaks down, and new collagen production declines. The soft layer of fat beneath the skin’s surface begins to diminish. Injectable fillers can replace lost collagen and fat to increase facial volume and plump and fill deeper lines and wrinkles.
A good candidate for facial fillers is generally healthy and may have one or more of the following concerns:
I like BOTOX because it makes me feel refreshed, youthful, and gives me that little bit of extra confidence. People are shocked when they hear I’m over 40 and they want to know my secret!
