Injectable Fillers in Orlando

You may benefit from injectable fillers if you want to:

• Smooth nasolabial folds that frame the mouth
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
• Augment the cheeks and lips
• Add volume to the temporal area
• Give a subtle lift to the brows and the corners of the mouth
• Improve the line of the jaw

Preparing ahead of time for your injectable filler procedure can help the process go by faster and help you achieve a successful recovery. Before arriving to your appointment, ensure you do the following:

• Quit smoking before receiving injectable fillers, as this can interfere with healing.
• Minimize your alcohol consumption.
• Avoid medications and supplements that are blood thinners.
• Avoid using Retinol-based products and other skin care products.
• Avoid sun exposure and risk of sunburn before your treatment.
• Consult your doctor about stopping any medications that may interfere with your healing process.

Just like any other cosmetic treatment, injectable fillers still come with potential risks. Although these risks are very rare, patients should be aware of the following:

• Asymmetry
• Bruising
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Lumps or acne-like bumps underneath the skin
• Redness
• Swelling

While you will typically experience common symptoms such as redness and swelling after your injectable filler treatment, other risks are less common. At Hillcrest Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, you can expect to receive high-quality treatment that helps you manage side effects and easily avoid complications while healing.
