As we age, our skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures are becoming increasingly popular among facial cosmetic patients. Fillers can reverse some signs of aging with a short procedure, involving almost no down time and a very easy recovery.

Many visible signs of aging can be traced back to volume loss. As facial tissues thin out, sagging and wrinkle formation around the nose and mouth and cheeks become evident. Injectable fillers can replace lost volume to help smooth wrinkles, plump the lips, and restore a more youthful appearance.

Fillers can be used to

• Smooth out lines around nose and mouth
• Increase in lip size as well as enhancing the definition.
• Augment deeper wrinkles
• Improve facial anatomy to make bigger cheeks, chin or to fill in defects and scars

The Injection Process

Dr. Tebyanian will have a thorough discussion about the patient's goals and perform a complete exam of facial features. The site that will need filler injection will be numbed by local anesthesia. The appropriate amount of filler will then be injected carefully and molded to achieve the desired result. Ice is placed on the area immediately after the injections. Dr. Tebyanian will have patients return in two weeks to check the results and make sure everything is symmetric. Occasionally a touch up may be performed at the follow up appointment.
