Dermal Fillers

Though many patients don’t find it necessary, a numbing cream can be applied to the treatment site prior to injection if you are worried about any pain. After the injection, you might feel some slight swelling and bruising that should subside within a week. Please contact Andre P. Marshall Plastic Surgery if you experience any severe discomfort or abnormal side effects following your treatment.

This depends on each individual. In most cases, you can receive your injections the same day as your consultation. Depending on where you get the treatment and how much product was used, the results can generally last 1-2 years, at which point you will need a touch-up appointment. We can discuss a treatment schedule during your consultation, tailored to your needs.

The results from dermal fillers are immediate. Keep in mind that it is common to experience minor swelling or bruising in the first few days; however, these effects are temporary, and your results will be long-lasting, making it a highly sought-after treatment for those who are not interested in surgery.

Absolutely, this is highly common for many patients. The most common pairings are BOTOX / Dysport, Sculptra, AlloClae, and sometimes PRP injections. It all depends on your specific goals and concerns, but our team is happy to discuss other treatment options with you and whether they can be done at the same time as your filler treatment, or if spacing out the procedures would be better.

When performed by a trained professional, the risks of dermal fillers are minimal. Keep in mind, however, that all procedures have some degree of risk. As mentioned, it is normal to expect some bruising, swelling, or tightness for the first few days. However, other risks include lumpiness, uneven results, numbing of the area, or more. If individuals receive too much filler, they risk “pillow face,” which can negatively affect their results. We will go over these risks during your consultation and the steps taken to avoid complications.

Injectable fillers and relaxers correct facial wrinkles, but in different ways. Injectable wrinkle relaxers, such as BOTOX / Dysport, treat dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements. JUVÉDERM is an injectable wrinkle filler that adds volume to correct static wrinkles. JUVÉDERM is ideal for treating mild to moderate lines and wrinkles or reversing volume loss in your cheeks and lips.

The number of syringes you may need depends on your treatment area, your facial structure, and your overall goals. Some patients achieve the results they want with a single syringe, while others may need several to achieve a balanced, full-face approach. Our team will evaluate your features and customize a treatment plan that fits your needs.

JUVÉDERM is not recommended for patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding. While there is no evidence of harm, studies have not been performed to confirm safety in these circumstances. For that reason, it is best to wait until after pregnancy or nursing to consider filler treatments.

When placed by an experienced injector, JUVÉDERM provides subtle, natural-looking improvements that enhance your features rather than change them. The goal is always to refresh your appearance so you still look like yourself — just with smoother skin and more youthful volume.

Absolutely. JUVÉDERM is a versatile treatment that works well for both men and women. Many men choose fillers to restore lost volume, define the jawline, or reduce deep folds while maintaining a masculine, natural look. Treatments are tailored to each patient’s unique goals.
