Dermal Fillers
Immediate Refinement and Facial Harmony
As we age, the face naturally loses subcutaneous fat and collagen, leading to a hollowed appearance and the formation of deep creases. Dermal fillers provide an efficient, non-invasive solution to these concerns by adding volume exactly where it is needed.
Whether you are looking to sharpen your jawline, plump thinning lips, or smooth out nasolabial folds, fillers allow for precise sculpting that restores the youthful "Ogee curve" of the face. This treatment provides instant gratification with minimal downtime, making it a cornerstone of modern facial rejuvenation.
Specialized Formulations for Targeted Results
Dr. Capraro utilizes a curated selection of premium fillers to address different layers of facial anatomy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers work by attracting and retaining moisture within the skin, providing an immediate lifting effect. These are ideal for structural areas like the chin and cheeks, as well as delicate areas like the lips and under-eye tear troughs.
For patients seeking long-term structural improvement, Dr. Capraro may incorporate biostimulatory fillers. Unlike traditional HA products, these work systemically to encourage your body’s own collagen production over several months. During your treatment, Dr. Capraro uses advanced injection techniques to ensure the filler integrates seamlessly with your natural tissue, avoiding an "over-filled" look and maintaining your unique facial expressions.
Versatile Solutions for Volume and Shadow
Dermal fillers are an excellent option for anyone experiencing early to moderate signs of facial aging or those looking to enhance their natural bone structure. Ideal candidates often struggle with shadows under the eyes, "marionette lines" around the mouth, or a lack of definition in the chin and jawline. It is also a popular preventative treatment for younger patients who wish to maintain their facial volume and skin quality.
While fillers are highly effective for volume loss, they are not a replacement for a surgical lift if significant skin laxity is present. During your consultation, Dr. Capraro will evaluate your skin elasticity and bone structure. If your goals require repositioning deep tissue or removing redundant skin, he may recommend a surgical intervention like a facelift or neck lift to ensure you achieve a stable and balanced result.
The Advantage of Precision Injectables
At Capraro Plastic Surgery, our focus is on creating a balanced, refreshed appearance that never looks artificial.
Most HA fillers provide a visible improvement the moment the procedure is finished.
Treatments are tailored to your specific anatomy, whether you need subtle smoothing or significant structural projection.
Most patients return to their normal daily activities immediately following their appointment.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if adjustments are needed, offering an extra layer of security.
Select fillers improve skin quality over time by triggering natural collagen and elastin synthesis.
Formulations often include lidocaine, and we utilize topical numbing to ensure a comfortable experience.
Post-Injection Care Protocol
Following these steps helps minimize localized swelling and ensures the filler settles perfectly into the treated areas.
- Intermittent icing for the first 24 hours can significantly reduce the risk of minor bruising and swelling.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers thrive on hydration; drinking plenty of water helps the product integrate and "plump" effectively.
- Sleep with an extra pillow the first night to encourage any initial swelling to dissipate quickly.
- Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, and intense sun exposure for 48 hours to prevent increased swelling.
- Refrain from heavy lifting or high-impact cardio for at least 24 hours to allow the filler to stabilize.
- Unless specifically instructed by Dr. Capraro, do not press or rub the injection sites, as this can displace the product.
Any Questions?
Longevity depends on the product used and the area treated. Most HA fillers last between 6 to 18 months, while biostimulators like Sculptra can last up to two years.
No. Dr. Capraro prioritizes a conservative approach that respects your natural anatomy, focusing on restoration rather than over-inflation.
Most patients report only a minor pinching sensation. Many fillers are formulated with lidocaine to numb the area from the inside out during the process.
Yes. This is a common approach known as a "liquid facelift," where we address both volume loss (fillers) and dynamic wrinkles (Botox) in one session.
There is no clinical downtime, though some patients experience minor swelling or bruising for 3 to 5 days.
Yes. We often use fillers to restore volume to the back of the hands, hiding prominent veins and tendons for a more youthful look.
Botox relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, while fillers add volume to "fill in" deep folds and hollow areas.
This varies based on your goals and the degree of volume loss. Dr. Capraro will provide a specific recommendation during your anatomical assessment.
