Who is a good candidate for filler?

 

Any patient who would benefit from an increase in volume would benefit from facial filler. Common areas of treatment include:

• Liquid rhinoplasty to improve tip shape or a dorsal hump of the nose 

• Along the jaw to improve contour and help hide jowling

• Cheeks to lift them and provide a youthful cheekbone

• Softening of deep lines around the mouth 

• Deep Nasolabial folds to improve appearance

• Lip injections for improved fullness of the upper and lower lip

• In the temple area to improve temporal hollowing in front of the hairline

 

 

 

How much filler will a patient need?

 

This is a great question. The real answer is as much as is required to get the result they want! Your injector will work with you to develop a custom treatment plan and tailor it to your needs and desires. Our nurse injector, Dewina, has over 20 years of experience, and Dr. Walker has trained extensively to give you a natural result and great experience!

 

 

​

What should a patient expect during and after filler?

 

During the injection, we use several techniques to increase patient comfort. It generally takes 10-30 minutes to perform injections depending on what is being treated. It is very common to have some swelling and mild bruising in the areas treated for 1-2 days following treatment, and this generally improves quickly without intervention.

What results can a patient expect from filler?

 

Most patients have significant improvement in the appearance of treated areas. This usually lasts from 6-24 months depending on areas treated and products used, and your injector can tell you how long to expect the results.
