Dermal Filler Treatment Areas

Dermal fillers are a very versatile aesthetic treatment option. Dr. Roussel can help you determine the best fillers for your specific treatment areas with the goal of helping you achieve a natural, rejuvenated look.

Lips

Lip fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments performed each year. There are a variety of lip fillers available that can produce noticeable volume or a more subtly full look. Fillers can also help soften the appearance of fine lines around the mouth like smoker’s lines. If you have experienced lip thinning over time or naturally have thin lips, fillers are an effective way to add balance to the face. Some of the best lip fillers include Juvéderm Ultra XC, Juvéderm Volbella, Restylane Kysse, and Restylane Silk.

Cheeks

The cheeks are one of the first places to lose volume as you age. Cheek fillers can restore volume for a more youthful, defined look and a reduction in hollowness that comes with aging. By restoring volume to the cheeks, you can also see a reduction in jowls and sagging in the mid and lower face. Some of the best cheek fillers include Restylane Lyft and Juvéderm Voluma.

Lines and Folds

Concerns like nasolabial folds or marionette lines are a common concern of aging patients. Dermal fillers can help soften the appearance of these lines while still allowing for natural movement and expression. Juvéderm Vollure, Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC, Restylane Refyne, and Restylane Defyne are some of the best options for lines and folds in the midface.

Facial Contouring

Contour deficiencies in areas like the cheeks or chin can be enhanced using dermal fillers and the aesthetic expertise of a qualified plastic surgeon. Dr. Roussel can use fillers to subtly sculpt the face and enhance your natural profile. Some of the best facial contouring fillers include Juvéderm Volux, Juvéderm Voluma, and Restylane Contour.

Dermal Filler Candidates

The best candidates for dermal fillers are patients experiencing concerns like volume loss, thin or aged features, or contour deficiencies. Many patients want to avoid a surgical procedure and opt for non-surgical alternatives instead – or use dermal fillers as a way to maintain the results of their facial cosmetic surgery. In order to be considered a good candidate for dermal fillers, you should be in overall good health. Dr. Roussel will discuss your medical history and cosmetic goals before helping you carefully select the right injectable product for your needs.

Dermal fillers can easily be combined with other non-surgical treatments like lasers, neurotoxins, or chemical peels in order to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. An experienced plastic surgeon such as Dr. Roussel can help you develop the ideal treatment package during a consultation.

Dermal Filler Procedure Steps

Filler treatments can take as little as 15 minutes. Dr. Roussel will begin by discussing your goals and helping you select the right product for your cosmetic needs. Once the treatment area has been cleansed, the filler gel is placed in the skin using a very fine needle. If needed, Dr. Roussel can provide a topical numbing cream. Once complete, you can return to your normal schedule.

Dermal Filler Results and Recovery

Dr. Roussel will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on your unique dermal filler products. You should avoid intensive activities, hot environments, and rubbing or massaging the area. You may have some minor redness or sensitivity at your injection sites, but this typically subsides within a few hours. You can typically return to your daily schedule after your injection session.

You may notice instant improvement after your injection session but it can take 1-2 weeks for the product to settle in. Each dermal filler lasts for a different amount of time, but in general can last 12-18 months before requiring a touch-up.
