At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced dermal filler treatments to help our patients achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation without the need for invasive surgery. Dermal fillers are injectable substances—most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the skin—that are expertly administered by our experienced team to reduce wrinkles, restore lost volume, and contour facial features.
As we age, our skin loses collagen, elastin, and fat, leading to sagging, creases, and a hollowed appearance. Our specialists utilize dermal fillers to address these concerns, providing immediate improvements in areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows. In addition to hyaluronic acid fillers, we offer options based on calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid, tailoring each treatment to your unique needs and desired results.
Dermal filler procedures are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime. Most patients see visible results immediately, which can last from several months up to a year or more, depending on the type of filler and the area treated. By restoring lost volume and smoothing out lines, our dermal filler treatments help you achieve a refreshed, youthful look, so you can put your best face forward with confidence.
At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we specialize in a full spectrum of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options, including both dermal fillers and Botox. These injectable treatments are among our most popular offerings, and our experienced medical team is expertly trained in customizing them to address your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, often composed of hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible materials, that are skillfully injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At Face Works Plastic Surgery, we use advanced filler techniques to plump lips, soften nasolabial folds (the lines from the nose to the mouth), and add youthful volume to the cheeks and under-eye areas. Our focus is on achieving natural-looking, harmonious results that refresh your appearance without looking overdone.
Botox is another cornerstone treatment at Face Works Plastic Surgery. As a purified protein, Botox works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those lines caused by repeated expressions such as frowning or squinting. Our providers precisely target areas like forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows, helping you achieve a smoother and more rested look.
While both fillers and Botox are designed to rejuvenate your appearance, they work in different ways. Fillers restore facial volume and fill in deeper lines, while Botox addresses wrinkles caused by muscle movement. At Face Works Plastic Surgery, many of our patients benefit from a customized, combination approach—using Botox to soften dynamic wrinkles in the upper face and fillers to restore volume and smooth static lines in the lower face.
We specialize in advanced dermal filler treatments designed to restore youthful volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance your natural facial contours. Our board-certified plastic surgeons and experienced injectors carefully customize each dermal filler treatment to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring beautiful and natural-looking results.
One of our most requested procedures at Face Works Plastic Surgery is cheek enhancement with dermal fillers. By adding volume to the cheeks, we can create a lifted, refreshed appearance that reverses the effects of aging. We also frequently use fillers to soften nasolabial folds—the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth—reducing deep creases for a smoother, more youthful look.
Lip augmentation is another popular service at our practice. Whether you wish to subtly enhance your lip volume, define the lip borders, or smooth away vertical “smoker’s lines,” our team has the skill and artistry to achieve your desired outcome. We also address marionette lines—creases that extend downward from the corners of the mouth—to help you achieve a more vibrant and rejuvenated appearance.
Under-eye hollows, or tear troughs, can create a tired or aged look. Our experts are highly skilled in using fillers to minimize dark circles and refresh your appearance, helping you look as rested as you feel.
At Face Works Plastic Surgery, dermal fillers are a popular choice for patients seeking to rejuvenate their appearance and restore youthful contours. Our team uses advanced filler techniques to address common signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and areas of volume loss.
Dermal fillers are especially effective for treating moderate to deep wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines extending downward from the mouth’s corners). They are also ideal for restoring volume to the cheeks and lips, helping to achieve natural-looking fullness that is often lost with age.
While some smoother, thinner fillers can be used to soften fine lines—particularly around the mouth or delicate areas like under the eyes—these are not typically the primary solution for very superficial lines. For these finer lines, our specialists may recommend alternative treatments offered at Face Works Plastic Surgery, such as chemical peels, microneedling, laser resurfacing, or topical skincare regimens that stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.
