Dermal Fillers

As we age, the natural fat pads in our face begin to fall and lose volume, creating the appearance of folds, wrinkles, and heaviness to the face. The skin also begins to lose its natural firmness which is due to the loss of collagen and elastin. Dermal fillers are able to restore a youthful appearance to the face and address some of the anatomical changes that we face with the aging process.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a cosmetic treatment designed for injection below the skin surface. Dermal fillers are strategically injected into the face for a variety of different reasons. Dermal fillers help to restore volume to the face, enhance shallow facial contours, smooth the appearance of sagging skin, create a more lifted appearance, and decrease the look of facial wrinkles, folds, and scars. Our dermal fillers at 5^th Avenue Plastic Surgery include the following.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:

At 5th Avenue Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide variety of hyaluronic acid fillers, including Juvéderm – Ultra, Ultra Plus, Volbella, Vollure, Voluma, Volux, and Skinvive, Restylane – Restylane-L, Refyne, Defyne, Contour & Lyft, and RHA injectables, including Redensity, 2, 3, 4. Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture into the face to restore volume, stimulate collagen production, and provide structure to the skin.

Dermal Filler Candidates

The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for dermal filler is through a consultation with one of our highly skilled doctors. 

The Dermal Filler Treatment

The injection sites are thoroughly cleansed prior to the treatment. Various distraction tools are used to make the procedure as comfortable as possible, including ice and vibration tools. Anesthetics are not required for all dermal filler treatments, but are available upon request, which include topical numbing cream and inhaled nitrous oxide gas (also known as laughing gas). The dermal fillers are carefully injected into the chosen areas of enhancement.

Dermal Filler Recovery

After dermal filler treatment, your treatment area may feel tender for a couple of days. Bruising, redness, and swelling can occur but will fade away shortly. Your injector will give you proper post-treatment instructions to follow depending on the dermal filler received to ensure you achieve the best result.
