Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are another minimally-invasive option for facial rejuvenation with little down time.  Hyaluronic acid is a compound which is identical across all animal species and which can be used to fill, or “plump up” wrinkles which are due to the loss of normal volume as you age. 

Areas for Wrinkle Correction

Areas you might consider placement of a filler such as Restylane®, Perlane®,  or Juvederm® include:

 - Nasolabial folds (which run from the nose to the corners of the mouth)

 - Cheeks

 - Hollows beneath the corners of the mouth. 

The lips also may respond well to the injection of filler.  Since dermal fillers can be a little more uncomfortable than Botox, local anesthetic or nerve blocks may be required.  We perform these procedures in the office at Richmond Plastic Surgeons, and you can generally return to normal activities within a day or two. 

How long do the results last?

Dermal fillers are not permanent, however, but many patients see their results for 3-6 months or even longer.  Call today to see what correction of your wrinkles with dermal fillers can mean for you.
