Are Dermal Fillers Right for Me?

Dermal fillers are an excellent option for individuals seeking to address signs of aging and volume loss or enhance specific facial features without surgery. If you're experiencing wrinkles, fine lines, or a loss of facial volume, dermal fillers may suit you. These treatments also benefit those looking to enhance lip volume or achieve facial contouring. Typically, the areas we consider are the temples, the cheeks, the lips, and the creases along the junction between the lips and the cheeks. Another common place for fillers is the back of the hands, as the hands typically become one of the leading indicators of age. No matter what area of your body you want to treat, we can determine the appropriate method to address your needs through a personalized consultation with our team at Baumholtz Plastic Surgery.

The Dermal Fillers Procedure What to Expect

You can anticipate a straightforward and relatively quick process once we've conducted a thorough consultation to understand your aesthetic goals and determine the most appropriate type of filler for your needs. The filler is then administered through a series of injections, strategically placed to achieve the desired results. The entire procedure typically takes around 15 minutes but can last up to an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment area and the type of filler used. While you may experience mild discomfort, most dermal fillers contain a local anesthetic to minimize pain during the procedure. The science behind dermal fillers involves introducing a gel-like substance, often hyaluronic acid, to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. The outcome is a natural-looking and rejuvenated appearance.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

Following your dermal fillers injection at Baumholtz Plastic Surgery, you can generally resume your regular activities immediately. It's common to experience some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are typically mild and temporary. You may notice immediate results, but the total outcome will become more apparent as any initial swelling subsides. It's essential to follow post-procedure care

instructions to optimize results and minimize any potential side effects. While most patients can return to work and normal activities immediately, we may advise you to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for a short period. Regular follow-up appointments will allow your provider to monitor your progress and address any concerns or questions you may have after you receive your injections.

No, dermal fillers serve as an adjunct to youthful rejuvenation but cannot replace surgery for repositioning tissue. They effectively address volume loss and enhance certain features, providing a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation.

What areas are most commonly treated with fillers?

Dermal fillers are commonly used to enhance various areas, including the face, lips, back of hands, temples, and earlobes. These versatile treatments can target specific concerns and restore volume in key areas, creating a more youthful and revitalized appearance.

Are fillers reversible?

Yes, some fillers are reversible. At Baumholtz Plastic Surgery, we primarily focus on Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, which can be reversed by a medication if necessary. This possibility adds an extra layer of security and flexibility for those considering dermal filler treatments.

I had fillers previously and don’t like the results. Can you help me?

Most likely, yes. To tailor an improvement plan, we need information about the type of filler used (if possible) and the amount administered. Our experienced team at Baumholtz Plastic Surgery can work with you to address concerns and create a personalized strategy to achieve the desired results.

Are fillers dangerous?

While dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by qualified professionals, the risk of vascular occlusion, a rare but severe complication, exists. Vascular occlusion is a rare but serious complication that can occur with dermal filler injections. It occurs when the injected filler unintentionally obstructs blood vessels, reducing or blocking blood flow in the affected area, potentially resulting in tissue damage, necrosis (cell death), and other severe complications. Vascular occlusion is a critical concern, emphasizing the importance of having filler injections performed by qualified and experienced practitioners who are well-versed in facial anatomy and can mitigate potential risks through precise techniques and adherence to safety protocols. At Baumholtz Plastic Surgery, we prioritize safety and adhere to strict protocols to minimize risks during filler treatments.
