Types of Dermal Fillers We Use
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. These fillers add volume while promoting hydration in the treated areas. Popular options include products from the Juvéderm and Restylane families, which offer varying consistencies to address different facial zones. Results typically last six to eighteen months, depending on the specific product and treatment area.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers
Calcium Hydroxylapatite fillers use calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel. The material stimulates natural collagen production while providing immediate volume correction. This type works particularly well for deeper wrinkles and facial contouring, with results lasting twelve months or longer.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers
Poly-L-lactic acid works gradually by stimulating the body's own collagen production over several months. Rather than providing immediate volume, this option creates subtle, progressive improvement that can last two years or more. It's particularly effective for restoring fullness to sunken cheeks and temples.
Areas We Commonly Treat with Dermal Fillers
Lips & Perioral Region
Fillers can enhance lip volume, define the lip border, and smooth vertical lines around the mouth. Dr. Veith uses precise injection techniques to create fuller lips while maintaining natural shape and movement.
Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines
These prominent lines running from the nose to the mouth and from the mouth to the chin can be softened with strategic filler placement, creating a more youthful appearance without altering facial expression.
Cheeks & Midface
Volume loss in the cheeks contributes to a tired or aged appearance. We use dermal fillers to restore youthful fullness, lift sagging tissue, and improve overall facial balance.
Under-Eye Hollows
Tear trough fillers address hollowing beneath the eyes that creates a shadowed or sunken look. This delicate area requires expert technique to deliver smooth, natural results.
Jawline & Chin
Fillers can enhance jawline definition, improve chin projection, and create better facial proportion. These treatments help address concerns about weak chin structure or loss of jawline contour.
The Dermal Filler Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation where the doctor evaluates your facial structure, discusses your aesthetic concerns, and explains which filler types and techniques will best address your goals. He'll review what to expect during treatment and recovery.
Treatment Session
Most dermal filler appointments take 30 to 60 minutes. Dr. Veith cleanses the treatment area and may apply topical numbing cream for comfort. Using fine needles or cannulas, he carefully injects the filler into predetermined locations. Many modern fillers contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Immediate Aftercare
Following treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites. These effects typically resolve within a few days. Dr. Veith provides specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and certain medications for a brief period.
Results & Maintenance
Most patients see immediate improvement, with final results becoming apparent once any swelling subsides. Depending on the filler type and treatment area, results last anywhere from six months to two years. Dr. Veith can develop a maintenance schedule to preserve your results over time.
Combining Dermal Fillers with Other Treatments
Neuromodulators
Pairing fillers with neuromodulators like Botox creates comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While fillers restore lost volume, neuromodulators relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, addressing multiple signs of aging simultaneously.
Laser Treatments
Laser procedures improve skin texture, tone, and pigmentation. When combined with dermal fillers, patients can achieve both surface-level improvements and structural volume restoration.
Surgical Procedures
For patients considering facial surgery, dermal fillers can serve as a temporary solution to preview potential results or maintain outcomes following procedures like facelifts.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers
How long do dermal fillers last?
Duration varies based on filler type, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last six to eighteen months, while longer-lasting options like poly-L-lactic acid can provide results for two years or more. Dr. Veith will discuss expected longevity during your consultation.
Are dermal fillers safe?
When administered by a qualified plastic surgeon like Dr. Veith, dermal fillers have an excellent safety profile. All FDA-approved fillers undergo rigorous testing. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including swelling, bruising, or tenderness at injection sites.
Will dermal fillers look natural?
Dr. Veith's approach prioritizes subtle enhancement that complements your features rather than creating an overdone appearance. His surgical training and artistic eye contribute to results that look refreshed and natural.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if needed. This provides an additional safety measure and allows for adjustments if desired.
