Facial Fillers
When we are young, our skin is smooth and elastic with a healthy glow. But as we age, our ability to maintain that smoothness and elasticity diminishes, resulting in skin that becomes drier, thinner and less able to replenish itself. Our body’s natural collagen and hyaluronic acid levels decrease and our skin becomes looser. This leads to our skin wrinkling and appearing older than it should.
There are several available options to enhance the aging face including synthetic fillers or fat. Filling materials can be injected into the subcutaneous skin eliminating fine wrinkles and increasing lost volume. This can be done in the office, during a short outpatient procedure, often without any down time. Fat injections can be performed with local anesthesia and sedation and are usually performed with a full facial volume enhancement to lift the eyes and cheek areas.
The Difference in Choosing The Center for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at OHNI:
Due to the high level of exposure in the media, use of these materials is accompanied with a fear of looking overdone or un-natural. Our philosophy is to accomplish a natural un-operated look that makes our patients appear rested and refreshed. As such, all available interventions are administered by a board certified and fellowship trained facial plastic surgeon. Choosing one of the experienced doctors at The Institute can help you achieve your desired results. We currently offer Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Radiesse®
