While age comes with many positives, such as wisdom and experience, it also leads to an older appearance. Over time, the face loses its youthful plumpness, creating hollow areas throughout the face. If you are interested in restoring facial volume, consider injectable treatments to improve your appearance. Dr. Avron offers a range of filler options to his patients; learn more below.
What Are Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that are designed to plump up areas of the face that appear volume-depleted, such as the cheeks and below the eyes. Filler can also be used to enhance the lips, giving them more definition and fullness. Because filler increases facial volume, it has a smoothing effect on the skin, which helps reduce the appearance of unflattering creases and lines. At Athena Plastic Surgery, Dr. Avron uses fillers that are composed of either hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite.
Benefits of Injectable Treatments
Injectable treatments are a great choice for many patients who desire safe, convenient facial improvement without the need for surgery. Benefits include:
No downtime required: A major draw of these treatments is the fact that patients can see significant improvement in their appearance without incisions, recovery, or extensive downtime. For this reason, fillers are often the go-to for patients with important events coming up.
Natural results: Many patients find that they still look like themselves after treatment, only more refreshed and youthful.
Convenient treatments: Getting injectable treatments can take as few as 15 minutes. Coupled with the fact that there is no recovery period, patients can get back to their favorite activities after treatment without missing a beat.
Filler Treatment Options
Juvéderm: Juvéderm is a collection of dermal fillers, each of which is designed to address a specific cosmetic concern. This popular filler option is made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Depending on your choice, Juvéderm fillers can add volume to the area under the eyes, smooth deep facial lines near the mouth, redefine the chin area, and more.
Radiesse: The Radiesse family of fillers offers immediate wrinkle-reducing results. This filler option is used to treat the lower facial region, including smile lines and corners of the mouth. Radiesse is also ideal for improving the jawline and jowls, which often contribute to a sagging facial appearance if not addressed.
Belotero Balance: Like other options, Belotero is injected into the skin, where it effectively smooths creases and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
