Introduction to Facial Fillers

Did you know that many signs of aging, like wrinkles and hollow cheeks, stem from volume loss in the face? Facial Fillers are a solution to help replenish lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and restore a youthful appearance. While often referred to as “wrinkle fillers,” they offer much more, including enhancing facial contours and plumping lips. These injectable substances, commonly containing hyaluronic acid, work to hydrate the skin and provide volume, offering a versatile solution for various cosmetic concerns.

Servicing the greater San Francisco Bay area, Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery focuses on full facial rejuvenation and exceptional non-surgical treatments with natural-looking results. If you want to learn more about facial filler injections, please continue reading.

What are Facial Fillers?

Facial or Dermal Filler injections are used to enhance facial features and achieve a more youthful appearance by restoring smooth lines and wrinkles, as well as adding volume and restructuring the skin. Typically administered around the eyes, mouth, and nose, these injections involve injecting a soft tissue filler into the skin at various depths to fill wrinkles, add facial volume, and augment facial features. While most of these fillers are temporary, they effectively restore a smoother appearance in a non-invasive procedure.

JUVÉDERM

JUVÉDERM, an FDA-approved collection of hyaluronic acid fillers, offers a non-surgical solution for adding volume to various facial areas.

The JUVÉDERM family includes a variety of distinct hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers, each designed to address specific volume needs across seven facial areas. Using either a needle or cannula, specialists precisely inject the filler into the targeted treatment area,  to produce that specialized, smooth gel consistency. Due to the temporary nature of the results, maintenance typically involves touch-ups to sustain the desired effects over time.

  • JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC injectable gel is used for cheek augmentation and chin enhancement to address age-related volume loss in the mid-face and chin region.
  • JUVÉDERM VOLUX XC injectable gel improves jawline definition in adults with moderate to severe loss of jawline definition.

Facial Filler Consultation

What’s the first step?

The initial steps for a Facial Filler treatment at Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery involve a consultation with one of our professionals. During this consultation, your face will be assessed by Dr. Dedhia, and you’ll discuss the areas you want enhanced and your ultimate goals. Your medical history, treatments, and allergies will also be reviewed to mitigate the possibility of risks. Additionally, you’ll be advised to avoid NSAIDs or blood thinners like naproxen, ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., as they increase the chance of bruising.

You will be able to get your filler performed that same day, however, if you’d prefer to wait until a later date, our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you schedule your appointment.

 

What to expect on the day of a Facial Filler treatment

On the day of your facial filler treatment at Raj Dedhia MD Facial Plastic Surgery in San Francisco, you’ll be warmly greeted by our staff and taken to your treatment area. Your face or hands will be cleaned before the procedure, and strategic injection sites may be marked. You can request local anesthesia or numbing ointments for your comfort. 

Dr. Dedhia will use a very thin syringe to inject strategic amounts of your chosen filler into targeted areas on your face. Once injected, he will gently massage the product to evenly disperse it. The two of you will assess the results and add more filler if needed.

 After the filler injections, your skin will be cleansed again, and an ice pack may be provided for swelling or discomfort. Results vary, with some seeing immediate effects and others requiring more time.

Facial Fillers recovery

The recovery process for facial fillers varies based on individual health and the type of filler used. Generally, most people can resume their normal activities right after the procedure. However, it’s advisable to avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to reduce bruising and swelling. It’s normal for the skin to feel sore and achy initially, but this typically goes away within 7-10 days, with full softness returning.
