Achieving Contour & Lift Without Surgery Using Dermal Fillers

Despite what you may have heard, facial rejuvenation with dermal fillers is more complex than simply filling in wrinkles, hollows, and folds. A strategic approach using extensive knowledge of facial anatomy is required to help you reach your ideal facial balance and youthful appearance.

When the right amount of the right filler is injected into the right place, amazing results are achieved to restore your youthful radiance and facial symmetry. For example, a cheek filler doesn’t just restore lost cheek volume and structure; it also lifts a sagging jawline and smooths lines and folds that frame the mouth (nasolabial folds and marionette lines).

It’s this sort of attention to detail and expert understanding of facial anatomy that means the difference between an overfilled face and a beautifully rebalanced facial rejuvenation result.

Dermal Filler application varies depending on your needs; here at Destin Botox Laser and Facial Aesthetics, we treat the following areas using FDA-approved dermal fillers:

• Under eyes to smooth lines, treat under eye bags, and restore fullness to a sunken appearance
• Cheeks to restore lost volume and lift sagging, folding skin that causes jowls and nasolabial folds
• Laugh lines around the nose and mouth, with natural-looking results
• Lips and lip lines to rebalance, contour and shape the mouth and bring balance to the entire face
• Chin to tighten and smooth the jawline, restore a receding chin, and create facial symmetry
• Neck to smooth lines

Each application must be injected with the full face in mind, as it isn’t enough to simply restore lost volume in a single area. Facial rebalancing, contouring, and rejuvenation are the aim. Larger lips or fuller cheeks won’t necessarily bring the desired result unless the entirety of your facial anatomy is examined and restructured appropriately. This ensures a natural-looking outcome.

FUN FACT: If your nose appears larger than it used to, it could be because of facial volume loss. Nasolabial folds and a receding chin, for example, can emphasize a larger nose. Restoring lost volume can make your nose appear less prominent.

Duration of results depends on several factors:

• Type of filler used
• Placement
• Your metabolism
• The amount of filler used

As there are so many circumstances, it’s best to discuss how long your results will last during your appointment with an experienced, licensed aesthetic injector.

Dermal fillers last from 6 months to 2 years, so it’s important to have a conversation with your providers and keep your touchup appointments to maintain results.

Health and safety are of the utmost importance, which is why we only use FDA-approved injectables in our Santa Rosa Beach medical spa. You should be able to safely get dermal fillers if you are a relatively healthy adult who wants to look more rejuvenated. However, like any treatment, there is no perfect solution for everyone and not everyone is a good candidate for injectables.

To determine whether or not dermal fillers are safe for you, we will collect a full health history and examination during your personalized consultation. If it turns out fillers aren’t the right solution for you, we may recommend other options to help you look as good as you feel (or better!).
