Which filler will I receive?

Dr. Borsting will discuss the product, intended treatment area, amount, expected duration, and risks after assessing your face and health history. Product choice should follow the concern being treated.

Can dermal fillers replace surgery?

Fillers can support selected volume and contours. They cannot remove substantial loose skin or make every structural change that surgery can address.

How long do fillers last?

Duration depends on the product, placement, amount, and your response. Many fillers are temporary. Ask about the specific product before treatment.

Can fillers always be removed or reversed?

No. Removal or reduction depends on the material and can require additional treatment. Some fillers are difficult or impossible to remove. Discuss the product and options for an unwanted result before injection.

What should I expect after filler injections?

Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and unevenness can affect the early appearance. Follow your aftercare plan and follow-up instructions. Seek immediate medical care for unusual pain, vision changes, or white, gray, or blue skin near the injection site.

A subtle change can rebalance the whole face

The right plan adds support where it serves your features, not volume for its own sake.

Restore selected volume where time has changed it
Refine lip shape, definition, or proportion
Support selected contours, lines, or folds

A line is not always a volume problem

Dr. Borsting considers proportion, volume, skin, structure, and movement across the whole face before discussing product and placement. Filler should support your features, not compete with them.

Choose the tool that fits the change

The source of the concern matters more than the name of a treatment.

Lost volume or support: Filler may fit selected changes in lips, contours, lines, or folds.
Muscle movement: Botox may fit when repeated movement creates the line.
Skin or structure: Filler cannot remove loose skin or replace a structural surgical change.

What to know about filler

Injection-site effects are common, and uncommon complications can be serious.

Dr. Borsting will explain the risks that apply to your exact plan and answer your questions before you decide.

Redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, itching, or temporary unevenness can occur
Infection, inflammation, lumps, nodules, migration, scarring, allergic reaction, or an unwanted result can occur
Rare injection into a blood vessel can damage tissue and cause vision loss, blindness, stroke, or other serious harm

Symptoms that need immediate medical care

A blood-vessel complication can become permanent without prompt treatment.

Seek immediate medical care for unusual or severe pain, vision changes, or skin near the injection site that turns white, gray, or blue.
Seek immediate medical care for stroke symptoms such as sudden trouble speaking, face drooping, weakness or numbness, trouble walking, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion.
