What are Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers have become increasingly popular across the country among men and women who want to restore volume to severe facial folds and wrinkles. These hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as Juvederm® and Restylane®, are injected into the skin to increase fullness, and may last several months. Unlike Botox®, which eliminates wrinkles by temporarily paralyzing the muscle causing the contraction, facial fillers restore lost volume to areas such as the chin, cheeks and lips.

To see how these injectables work, browse through our gallery of facial filler before and after pictures. If you're interested in this treatment, you can learn more about the procedure and discuss average facial filler costs during your one-on-one consultation.

How are Facial Fillers Performed?

No matter which facial filler you choose, they all follow generally the same process. If you prefer, your doctor will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment site before the injection. Then, he will use a tiny needle to inject the substance, which should immediately begin to fill your lines, scars and other blemishes. All facial filler procedures are conducted at our Maumee office, lasting only a few minutes.

Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Fillers?

If you're a man or woman who is unhappy with sunken cheeks, nasolabial folds, smile lines, acne scars or other blemishes, you may be a good candidate for facial fillers. Most of our patients are between the ages of 30 and 60, and want to increase their skin's elasticity and collagen.

Many people also use facial fillers to increase the fullness of the lips. Each facial filler treats different areas of the face, so discuss your options with your doctor before making any decisions.

What Kind of Post-Operative Facial Fillers Care Can I Expect?

A quick and painless procedure, there is little to no downtime following your facial filler treatment. Some patients report some bruising, swelling or redness around the treatment area, but aside from that, you may return to normal daily activities immediately.

What are the Typical Results of Facial Fillers?

Most patients see the full effects of their facial filler treatment within about three days. And as you can see in these facial filler before and after pictures, skin appears plumper, smoother and healthier looking. Most facial fillers last several months, but ultimately the substance is absorbed in the body, so you may want to get follow-up injections for the best results.

What are Maumee Facial Filler Costs?

Facial filler costs will depend on the type of injectable that you choose, as well as the treatment area.
