Introduction to Dermal Fillers

As we age, our collagen and elastin levels naturally decrease, which leads to wrinkles and folds. If you have been searching for a non-surgical product that can improve facial volume and smoothen away the wrinkles and age lines in your face, Dermal Fillers may be the solution you are looking for. At KH Plastic Surgery in New York City, our Dermal Fillers will fill in these areas and restore any volume loss to give our patients a smoother look. To find out if you’re a qualified candidate, please keep reading the information we have provided below.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal Filler treatments consist of a soft injectable gel made from hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a sugar-based molecule that is naturally present in the skin but diminishes as we age. Injectable dermal fillers replace HA to boost and plump the skin. This very popular treatment can help by filling lines, severe facial wrinkles, and facial creases by adding volume to the treated area.

Injectable fillers are also used for our NYC Lip Filler patients. If you have thin lips and would like them to be more pouty and attractive, Lip injections can do wonders for your lip volume. To learn more about them, please see our page dedicated to Lip Fillers.

Types of Dermal Fillers We Offer

Belotero Balance is a Hyaluronic Acid injectable that keeps your face looking plump and youthful for 6 to 18 months (depending on the area treated and aesthetic goals) by filling problem areas and restoring volume loss to give patients a more youthful glow.

While compatible with any skin type, avoid this injectable if you have any active cysts, rashes, pimples, or cold sores. With little to no downtime required, jump right back into your routine following your appointment. You might be the perfect candidate for this treatment if you have no known allergies to HA or other gram-positive bacterial proteins.

Radiesse

Radiesse is the first and only FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite injectable treatment available in the US. As a dermal filler with a viscose consistency that imitates the firmness of connective tissue, Radiesse brings youth back to your features. Recommended for the lower face and back of hands, this firming injectable can last for up to 18 months or even longer in some cases. With immediate results and little-no downtime required, this treatment helps to stimulate your natural production of elastin and collagen.

What’s the First Step?

If you are interested in Dermal Fillers in the NYC area, the first step is to schedule a consultation at KH Plastic Surgery. When you first meet with either Dr. Hoschander or one of our talented providers, your face, and lips will be assessed, and you’ll be presented with a number of options and cosmetic treatment solutions to help you look your best.

Your provider will answer any questions and address any concerns you may have about the treatment, as well as ask you questions regarding your medical history and lifestyle. Please be open and honest when having this discussion because not only will it produce the best results, but will also help prevent any unnecessary risks.

After the two of you have discussed every aspect of your Dermal Filler treatment, a customized treatment plan will be made for you. If you choose, your fillers can be performed immediately after your consultation, however, if you’d like to reschedule for any reason, our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you select the best day and time for you.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermal Fillers

On the day of your Lip Filler treatment with KH Plastic Surgery, you can expect a comfortable and straightforward experience. First, your injector will clean your skin with an antiseptic solution to ensure you are free from bacteria and contaminants. A topical numbing cream may also be applied to minimize discomfort during the injection process. Next, the chosen Filler will be injected using a very fine needle, assessed, and more is added when necessary. Your provider will lightly massage the filler around so that it’s evenly distributed.

The entire process typically takes about 30 – 60 minutes to complete and you will be able to see significant results instantly.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

There is almost no downtime required after this procedure and there are no known long-term side effects. You may experience bruising and minor swelling. Results are not permanent but can last up to 9 months. Additional treatments can be repeated when necessary but should be evident as your facial features begin losing volume.
