Injectable Facial Fillers

Dermal fillers are non-surgical treatments used to restore or augment facial volume. These minimally invasive procedures offer a rejuvenated appearance without the downtime of surgery.

Dr. Best utilizes a variety of dermal fillers to cater to different areas of the face. Specific fillers are used to enhance facial features, counteract volume loss due to aging, and improve skin texture. The most commonly used dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance naturally found in our skin and cartilage. This type of filler can be dissolved if necessary.

• Cheek augmentation to restore youthful fullness
• Lip augmentation to achieve fullness and symmetry
• Fill deep nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Smooth lines and wrinkles around the mouth
• Reduce dark undereye circles
• Lift drooping corners of the mouth
• Fill hollow temples
• Improve cheek bone definition
• Improve jawline definition
• Augment the chin for profile balancing
• Reduce depth of acne scars
• Liquid rhinoplasty for minor nasal imperfections

Filler treatments are performed in the clinic with numbing cream and are well tolerated. Downtime is minimal following filler treatment. There can be mild swelling or bruising which can be treated with icing.

Patients are advised to avoid blood-thinning agents (for example, aspirin, fish oil, vitamin E, herbal supplements) 10-14 days prior to treatment to minimize risks of bruising. Patients are instructed to avoid strenuous activity for 4 hours following injections.

Overall this is a minimally invasive treatment with minimal discomfort and recovery, allowing patients to return to daily activities the same day.
