Dermal Filler FAQs
What are dermal fillers made of, and are they safe?
We use hyaluronic acid-based fillers, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. They are FDA-approved, well-studied, and reversible with hyaluronidase if needed. Dr. Bratcher medically administers all filler treatments in a clinical setting.
What areas can dermal fillers address?
Dermal fillers can enhance smile aesthetics by adding volume to the lips and smoothing lines around the mouth and nose. They can also be used to restore volume in the lower face. Dr. Bratcher will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals to determine the appropriate product, volume, and placement for natural-looking results.
How long do results last?
Lip fillers generally last six to twelve months. Fillers placed in deeper facial structures, such as the cheeks, may last twelve to eighteen months or longer. Individual metabolism, the specific product used, and the placement area all affect longevity.
What is recovery like after a filler appointment?
Mild swelling and bruising are common in the first 24 to 72 hours and resolve on their own. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Avoid vigorous exercise, significant heat exposure, and blood-thinning medications for 24 hours following treatment.
