Dermal Fillers at Prosper Plastic Surgery

Volume loss is a primary culprit for many signs of aging skin. As we age, the subcutaneous fat layer thins out, while collagen and elastin production slows down, causing the skin to lose elasticity. Creases, hollows, and laxity are the result, detracting from the plush, bouncy skin texture you once enjoyed. Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment that restores more radiant skin texture and contours by building volume into the skin. While not permanent, dermal filler results last from several months to a year or more, offering a low-maintenance way to revive your look. Dr. Wan brings a nuanced understanding of facial anatomy and years of experience to every treatment, crafting results that bring your inner radiance to the surface.

Turn Up Your Radiance

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a class of aesthetic injectables that rejuvenate the skin by building up diminished volume. They can also be used for lip enhancement and to fill out facial contours in areas like the chin and cheeks.

Dr. Wan works with a complete range of fillers to ensure a perfect fit for every patient. Dr. Wan has published several articles and book chapters on safe and effective filler administration, allowing her patients to benefit from her expertise in this treatment. To help you understand how fillers work, we review some of the most common categories of dermal fillers here:

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is found naturally in the body and has hydrating and lubricating properties. HA fillers can treat wrinkles, increase lip volume, and enhance facial contours, with results that can last six to twelve months or longer. Common brands of HA fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers:

The most well-known CaHA filler is Radiesse. CaHA fillers contain calcium-based microspheres in a gel carrier, stimulating collagen production in the skin, providing immediate and long-lasting results. They are used for deeper folds, volume loss in the cheeks, and to improve facial contours.

Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA) Fillers:

PLLA is a biocompatible substance that stimulates collagen production over time. Sculptra is the most common PLLA filler used for deeper facial folds and volume loss. Results are gradual and can last up to two years.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Fillers:

PMMA fillers contain tiny spheres of biocompatible, synthetic material that deliver lasting results by creating a scaffold for collagen production. PMMA fillers are used for deeper folds, acne scars, and facial contouring. Bellafill is a popular PMMA filler.

What are the benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers replenish lost volume in areas of the face that have experienced depleted contours, hollowing, and wrinkles. They diminish the look of wrinkles, deep creases, and fine lines by filling in and plumping up the skin. They can target nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, vertical lip lines, and other facial wrinkles. They can also enhance and define facial contours, such as the cheekbones, jawline, chin, and temples. Another popular and highly effective application of dermal fillers is for lip enhancement, where they add volume, shape, and definition to the lips and diminish fine lines around the mouth. Common treatment areas include:

Cheeks
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Lips
Jawline and chin
Temples
Under eyes

Treatments That Fit Your Lifestyle

Your Dermal Fillers Procedure

Once you’ve mapped out your treatment plan with Dr. Wan, she will clean and numb the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Then, with a fine needle or cannula, she’ll carefully inject the filler into targeted areas of your face. The injection process is typically quick and has minimal side effects, allowing you to return to your day without any significant downtime.

Ease and Convenience

Dermal Fillers Recovery and Aftercare

After the procedure, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or redness. These after-effects usually fade after a few days. Results are often visible immediately, although optimal results may take a few days to several weeks to fully develop, depending on the type of filler. Dr. Wan will provide detailed post-procedure instructions to ensure proper healing. Aftercare requirements are minimal—you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and harsh topical products for a day or two after your appointment, but you’ll be able to resume most of your routine right away.

Timeless Beauty

Dermal Fillers Results

Many fillers go to work immediately, adding youthful volume to your skin, smoothing out fine lines, filling in deep creases and hollows, or enhancing the volume and shapeliness of your lips. Your results will continue to improve over the following days and weeks as the filler’s active ingredient builds up volume in the treatment area. Dermal fillers are long-lasting, with benefits that keep your complexion looking healthy, plush, and hydrated for six months to two years or more, depending on the type of filler. Touch-up treatments can be scheduled as needed to keep your rejuvenated look going strong, making dermal fillers a convenient way to turn up your unique radiance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I select the best Dermal Filler for my needs?

Dr. Wan will spend time learning about your goals and preferences to help you select the best filler type for your needs. Factors to consider include the potential treatment areas and your preferences regarding the duration of results.

Do Dermal Fillers have any risks or side effects?

Dermal fillers are considered a safe and minimally invasive treatment. Common side effects following the injections include localized swelling, light bruising, and tenderness. These are typically mild and fade within a few days. For the safest possible treatment experience, it’s essential to work with an injector who understands facial anatomy and has plenty of experience working with a wide range of fillers.

How long do Dermal Fillers last?

The duration of dermal fillers depends on which type of filler you have and your individual metabolism rates. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers last between six months to a year or more, while fillers containing substances like calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid may last up to two years or more. However, results are temporary, and touch-up treatments are needed to maintain the outcome over time.

How can I maintain my Dermal Filler results?

Follow-up appointments can be scheduled as needed to keep your skin looking its best. Dermal fillers provide benefits for several months to a year or more, making them a low-maintenance rejuvenation method.

How much do Dermal Fillers cost?

Dermal fillers are a cost-effective alternative to surgery. The price of dermal filler treatment is determined by the type and quantity of filler used. Once you’ve consulted with Dr. Wan, she will create a treatment plan for you and provide an accurate cost estimate.
