What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to restore volume, smooth contours, and enhance facial features. Hyaluronic acid attracts and retains moisture, helping maintain skin hydration and plumpness. As we age, natural hyaluronic acid levels decrease, contributing to volume loss and the formation of lines and folds.
We offer a range of FDA-approved products from the Juvéderm and Restylane families. During treatment, a fine needle or cannula precisely places the filler beneath the skin’s surface, where it integrates with your tissue to provide immediate volume and smooth contours. Because hyaluronic acid fillers are biocompatible, they work naturally with your body and are gradually metabolized over time.

What to Expect During Treatment
Dermal filler treatments are performed in-office and designed for your comfort throughout the process.
Before your treatment, we may apply a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort during injections. Many filler products also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that provides additional comfort once the product is placed. Your injector will cleanse the treatment area and mark strategic injection points based on your customized treatment plan.
During the injection process, you may feel slight pressure or a brief pinching sensation as the needle enters the skin. Your injector will work methodically, placing small amounts of filler in precise locations to build volume gradually and ensure even, natural-looking results. Ice may be applied between injections to minimize swelling and enhance comfort. After the filler is placed, your injector will gently massage the treated areas to ensure smooth, even distribution.
Most dermal filler appointments take 15-45 minutes depending on the number of areas treated. You’ll be able to see your results immediately, though some swelling is normal. You can return to most normal activities right away, and you’ll receive specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results.
Our team will guide you, so you can feel confident and prepared before your breast reduction.
Recovery & Aftercare
Dermal filler treatments require minimal downtime, making them ideal for busy lifestyles.
Immediately After Treatment
You can resume most normal activities right away. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. Bruising may occur but can usually be concealed with makeup.
Post-Treatment Care
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, and applying pressure to treated areas. Stay hydrated and follow any personalized aftercare instructions provided by your injector.
Dermal Filler Results
Dermal filler results are visible immediately and continue to improve as any swelling subsides. While individual results may vary, here’s what most patients can expect:
- Timeline
You’ll notice visible improvement right after treatment. Optimal results become apparent within 1-2 weeks as swelling resolves and the filler settles into its intended position. During this time, the hyaluronic acid continues to attract moisture, enhancing the volumizing effect.
Once results develop, patients typically notice:
- Restored volume in cheeks, temples, or under-eye areas
- Enhanced lip definition and fullness
- Improved jawline or chin contours
- Reduced appearance of fine lines
- Natural-looking, balanced facial features
- Maintaining Results
Results typically last 6-18 months depending on the product used, treatment area, and your metabolism. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed to preserve your enhanced appearance over time.
