Dermal Fillers

Lake Norman Plastic Surgery

Introduction

Introduction to Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers represent an innovative solution for erasing the signs of aging without the need for invasive surgery. They act to fill in lines, creases, and folds, restore ample volume, and enhance overall facial balance and symmetry. At Lake Norman Plastic Surgery in Huntersville, Dr. Henry Wilson provides natural-looking improvements using today’s most cutting-edge injectables for patients across the Lake Norman region—including Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, and Denver.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Facial volume loss is a key sign of aging that can occur in the cheeks, jawline, temples, under-eye region, and lips. With no downtime or discomfort, dermal fillers can effectively correct this issue, restoring a vibrant and energized appearance. Fillers can also be used to promote a more youthful skin structure, erase wrinkles and lines, and serve as a vital component of a non-surgical facelift, rhinoplasty, or chin augmentation procedure. With their gel-like consistency, dermal fillers seamlessly integrate with the existing skin tissue, delivering elegant, natural-looking improvements. At Lake Norman Plastic Surgery, Dr. Wilson primarily uses the Juvéderm® family of fillers, a comprehensive portfolio that smooths lines, restores volume, and enhances facial contours with natural, lasting results.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an ideal solution for patients seeking non-surgical rejuvenation that results in a more vibrant, youthful appearance. Whether you are struggling with volume loss, asymmetry, loss of cheek and jawline definition, or lines, wrinkles, and folds, fillers can help restore your appearance and heighten your confidence. Because most fillers are engineered with biocompatible hyaluronic acid, allergic reactions to the treatment are extremely rare. However, it is crucial that you are in good health and have realistic expectations before choosing dermal fillers. Dr. Wilson will provide a thorough consultation to ensure that fillers are a safe and effective option for meeting your goals. Note that the treatment is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women or for those with active skin infections or more significant skin laxity.

Dermal Filler Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Dermal Filler Care

After dermal fillers, you can resume normal activities with minimal restrictions. Mild swelling, redness, itchiness, and tenderness can occur at the injection sites. You can manage these symptoms with an ice pack or over-the-counter painkillers. Take care not to massage, rub, or scratch the skin after your session, as this could cause filler migration. Steer clear of strenuous workouts for 24-48 hours after fillers and avoid exposure to intense heat for 1-2 days as well. Refrain from drinking alcohol for 24 hours, as this has been shown to increase bruising and swelling risks.
