Revitalize Your Look: Dermal Fillers for Subtle Enhancements
Dermal fillers are used to create subtle, non-surgical improvements. A dermal filler injected just beneath the skin’s surface will smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and lines, enhance your overall facial contours, and create a younger, smoother facial appearance.
Can facial fillers enhance my lips?
A sign of a youthful, beautiful face is lovely, plump lips. The philosophy in our practice is to take a conservative approach to lip augmentation, and we always avoid a fake, overfilled, obvious look.
Are dermal fillers safe?
The dermal fillers we administer at the Lind Institute of Plastic Surgery are FDA approved for specific facial areas. At times, we may use them for a specialized purpose, termed “off-label”. These off-label uses will be discussed with you at your consultation.

Are dermal filler treatments painful?
If you plan to undergo more extensive injections, especially into the cheeks, tear troughs, or lips, nerve blocks can be administered for your comfort.
What can adding cheek volume with fillers do for my look?
As a part of the normal aging process, natural skin volume can be lost in the lips and the face. As the skin thins and loses its full, supple quality, it can leave your face appearing sunken and hollow. Adding cheek volume will restore a more youthful facial contour, and subtly lift your skin for a very natural-looking enhancement.
Is lip augmentation right for me?
Your lips can lose volume over time, becoming less plump and youthful. Losing volume at the corners of the lips (oral commissures) can create a downward turn to your lips, and can make you appear as if you’re tired, unhappy, or continuously frowning. Younger people who have inherited thinner lips often choose lip augmentation to create a fuller, plumper, more appealing look.
What can I expect after my procedure?
After the injections, some redness and swelling will occur. The redness typically fades within 24 hours. You may experience some bruising and bleeding. If bruising occurs, it is generally very mild, easily hidden with makeup. The bruising and swelling will usually resolve in one to two weeks.
Can I exercise after my procedure?
You should avoid strenuous activity for the remainder of the day. The treated areas should not be massaged, as it can cause the filler to migrate. You can return to work the same day as the procedure, and physical activity can be resumed the following day.
Should I expect any complications?
Soft tissue fillers are a very low-risk procedure. The complications can include some local redness, bruising, and swelling.
How long will my results last?
The results of the temporary soft tissue fillers typically will last between six to twelve months. Repeat injections will be needed to continue enjoying your results.
