Dermal Fillers

To direct one’s hopes or ambitions toward achieving something.

Our Philosophy

Dermal fillers, such as the JUVÉDERM® collection, have become a popular non-surgical cosmetic solution for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance. They’re designed to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. The dermal filler procedure we use in our office is composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that diminishes with age. Dermal filler procedures offer a quick and effective way to achieve a more youthful and refreshed look without the need for invasive procedures.

Before Your Procedure

Preparation is key to achieving the desired results and minimizing potential side effects before you undergo injectable dermal fillers at Aspire Plastic Surgery. Start by attending a detailed consultation, where our specialists will evaluate your health history, skin condition, and aesthetic objectives. This consultation is a crucial step in customizing your treatment plan.

To reduce the risk of bruising or swelling, you should avoid certain medications and supplements a week before your appointment, such as aspirin, NSAIDs, and vitamin E. Additionally, it is beneficial to steer clear of alcohol and heavy exercise the day before your procedure. Following these preparatory measures can significantly enhance your overall experience and outcomes from the dermal filler treatment.

Your Procedure

During a consultation, one of our Advanced Practitioners will assess your facial anatomy and discuss the hyaluronic acid fillers best suited to your goals. After this, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the injectable fillers. Your Advanced Practitioner will then strategically inject dermal fillers beneath the skin’s surface, offering soft tissue augmentation and smoothing out wrinkles. These soft tissue fillers can improve the following skin concerns:

• Acne scars
• Facial wrinkles
• Nasolabial folds
• Facial volume

After Your Procedure

Immediately following your treatment, it is normal to experience minor swelling and occasional bruising. Avoid extreme heat, exercise, and alcohol for 6 hours post-dermal filler injection. Avoid aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of vitamin E supplements for one week following the treatment, as these agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site. While you will notice an immediate improvement in the treated area, you will not see the fully healed result until 10-14 days post-treatment.

Understanding the Risks

While injectables like the JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers are relatively safe, every procedure comes with risks. Those specific to dermal filler injections include:

• Swelling
• Bruising
• Redness
• Lumpiness
• Pain or tenderness at the injection site
• Itching
• Skin discoloration

Typically, resolution is spontaneous within 2-3 days after injection. If you experience persistent, unusual symptoms contact your provider immediately.

Requesting a consultation at Aspire Plastic Surgery is the first step towards achieving a more youthful and refreshed appearance with dermal fillers.
