Fillers: Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane and Sculptra

The effects of gravity, sun exposure and years of facial muscle movement, such as smiling, chewing and squinting begin to show as we age, leaving laugh lines, smile lines, crow's feet and facial creases. Injectable fillers can fill in these lines and wrinkles, plump up creased and sunken areas of the face to restore a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.

Recently, non-collagen fillers -- offering longer-lasting results -- have entered the field of cosmetic surgery. Dr. Stein uses Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra in his practice. The choice of filler Dr. Stein uses is dependent upon which area of the face your procedure targets and your desired results. Fillers may be used alone or in conjunction with a resurfacing procedure, such as a  microdermabrasion, or a recontouring procedure, such as a face lift.

In your initial consultation, Dr. Stein will evaluate your face - the skin, the muscles and the underlying bone - and discuss your goals for the procedure. Fillers are usually administered in the office. If, however, you're combining the filler procedure with another procedure, for example a mini-S, face lift or brow lift, your injections may be administered in the hospital in conjunction with the other procedure.

After a Filler Procedure

Immediately following treatment, you may notice some minor discomfort, stinging or throbbing in the injected area. Any redness that appears in the injected site usually disappears within 24 hours. However, in some individuals, particularly fair-skinned patients, this redness may persist for a week or more. Tiny scabs may also form over the needle-stick areas; these generally heal quickly. No bandaging is needed and you are free to eat, drink, and wear makeup with sunblock protection shortly thereafter.

Injectable fillers are temporary, and you may want to repeat the procedure in nine months to one year. Non-collagen, injectable fillers are an exciting, new way of restoring a youthful appearance and are undergoing constant improvement for longer-lasting, safe results.
