What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments to improve the early signs of aging, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles or skin folds and restoring lost volume. With minimal discomfort and limited downtime, dermal fillers are unique treatments that help rejuvenate your appearance and redefine your facial contours. As dermal fillers are comprised of substances that naturally occur in the body, such as hyaluronic acid, they are safe for most patients. Versatile dermal fillers can be used to restore lost volume and address issues such as:

Thinning lips
Fine lines and wrinkles
Under eye shadows
Recessed scars
Redefine the jawline
Rejuvenating facial balances
Shallow contours and facial areas

Strategic, Targeted Injections

Dermal fillers can be used to restore the appearance of lost volume in the:

Lips and perioral area (lip fillers)
Cheeks
Chin
Jawline
Nose
Nasolabial folds
Hands
Temples

Dermal fillers are available in many different formulas to enhance the appearance of the face and hands with immediate results that last for five months to two years. At Florida Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, we offer the Restylane® and Juvéderm® injectable facial filler lines to help you accomplish your aesthetic goals.

Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty

Non-surgical rhinoplasty, or non-surgical nose job, enhances the appearance of the nose without incisions, anesthesia, pain, or a lengthy recovery. Instead, non-surgical rhinoplasty uses dermal fillers and neuromodulators like Botox to balance facial features and reshape the appearance of the nose. During non-surgical rhinoplasty, dermal fillers can:

Create a more prominent nasal tip
Lift the nasal tip
Add volume and symmetry to the nose
Smooth small bumps

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is not an ideal solution for patients who are looking to correct significantly crooked or broken noses, make their nose smaller, or correct functional breathing concerns.

Lip Augmentation With Fillers

Dermal fillers effectively increase lip volume while also addressing perioral lines around the mouth. Lip fillers can be used to enhance lip shape, increase volume, and restore hydration in the lips. When hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into the lips, it immediately attracts water, which adds volume, giving a fuller appearance. Most lip augmentation fillers offer immediate results that last for 12 to 18 months. It takes an experienced injector to create natural-looking lips.

It’s important to start small when it comes to lip augmentation. Too much filler can create overexaggerated lips and an unflattering appearance. When it comes to lip augmentation, multiple factors should be considered, including:

Proper injection technique by the right injector
Choosing the correct product
Avoiding overfilling lips
Correct product placement

What Can I Expect During a Dermal Filler Procedure?

While each dermal filler procedure will be unique, our MedSpa experts customize procedures to achieve optimal results for each patient. Here are some general steps to expect.

Preparing for Your Dermal Filler Procedure

For about a week prior to your procedure, you should stop taking medications that contain aspirin and most herbal supplements, especially those containing vitamin E, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fish oil, or zinc, as these can cause bleeding or bruising. For 24 to 48 hours prior to your filler treatment, you should avoid alcohol. For at least 48 hours prior to and following your dermal filler procedure, avoid smoking, vaping, or any other nicotine products. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and affects the body’s ability to heal itself, potentially impacting your recovery and results. Smoking or using other nicotine products can shorten the longevity of your filler results and increase the risk of infection.

Dermal Filler Procedure

Injectable procedures are typically quick and relatively painless, with most patients reporting only minimal discomfort. Topical numbing solutions are available upon request. Depending on the number of treatment areas, your dermal filler procedure may last from 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Dermal Filler Aftercare

Dermal fillers require minimal downtime. Patients can resume most normal activities immediately following treatment. Common side effects include swelling, mild redness, and bruising, which may occur at the injection site. However, these effects resolve within 2 weeks. To ensure optimal results from your dermal filler treatment, it’s essential to follow all post-procedural instructions thoroughly, including:

Apply an ice pack to the treatment area 20 minutes on, then 40 minutes off
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area for two to four hours
Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours
Avoid heat exposure for at least 24 hours
Avoid excessive salt consumption for at least 24 hours
Avoid makeup for 24 hours
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24 to 48 hours
Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling
Take Tylenol for discomfort, if needed
Avoid foods that are hard to chew

Dermal Filler Frequently Asked Questions

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and plumpness.

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance and rejuvenate multiple areas of the face, including:

Lips – Adds volume and definition
Cheeks – Restores lost volume and lifts the midface
Nasolabial folds (smile lines) – Softens deep creases around the mouth
Marionette lines – Reduce shadows and sagging near the chin
Under-eye hollows (tear troughs) – Minimizes dark circles and tired-looking eyes
Jawline & Chin – Enhances contour and definition
Hands – Replenishes lost volume for a youthful look

How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of fillers depends on the type used and the treatment area. On average:

Lip fillers last 6-12 months
Cheek and jawline fillers last 12-24 months
Under-eye fillers last 12+ months
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines last 6-18 months

When will I see results?

Results are visible immediately, with optimal results appearing once swelling subsides.

Do dermal fillers look natural?

Yes! When administered by an experienced injector like Sia, PA-C, fillers create subtle, natural-looking enhancements that restore youthful volume without looking overdone.

Are dermal fillers painful?

Most fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to minimize discomfort. A topical numbing cream may also be applied before treatment to ensure a comfortable experience.

What is the recovery time?

There is little to no downtime. Some patients experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days to 1 week. Most people return to daily activities immediately.

What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Botox (neuromodulators) relaxes muscles to smooth wrinkles caused by facial expressions (e.g., forehead lines, crow’s feet).
Dermal fillers restore volume and enhance facial features by filling in wrinkles and hollow areas.
They are often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?

You may be a good candidate if you:

Want to restore volume loss or enhance facial features
Are in good overall health and not pregnant or nursing
Prefer a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation
