The Benefits of Fillers
Many women and men want to erase the signs of aging, but aren't ready for cosmetic surgery. Today's modern dermal fillers are a quick, effective, temporary way to regain more youthful looking skin with no down time. While each of our patients are unique, the reasons for why they choose this treatment commonly include:
- Correcting creases and wrinkles from around the eyes (crow's feet)
- Filling in furrows on the forehead and frown lines between the eyes
- Resolving deep nasolabial lines and marionette lines along the sides of the mouth
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and lips
- Increasing fullness of the lips, under the eyes, and cheeks
- Correcting the nasal profile
Dr. Yi offers a wide range of injectable dermal fillers with patient safety and aesthetic outcome a top priority. Patients may consider these fillers as part of a combined approach to rejuvenation as they can enhance the results of cosmetic surgery procedures such as eyelid surgery, facelift, or nose surgery. During your personal consultation, Dr. Yi will review your goals and customize a rejuvenation plan for you.
The Right Treatment for You
We offer dermal fillers that are made from natural ingredients, as well as those that are synthetic, so there's sure to be one that is right for you.
- Evolence®, a next-generation collagen filler, is currently available. It does not require skin testing and may last up to 6 months. In the past, the collagen injections that were available for decades required allergy skin tests because they were made from animal collagen.
- Synthetic fillers such as JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel, Restylane®, Perlane®, PREVELLE™ Silk, and Radiesse® are non-allergenic, rarely cause side effects, and can often last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the product.
Dr. Yi will help you determine which filler will best help you achieve your goals. Some patients combine these fillers with BOTOX® Cosmetic for a more complete improvement.
