Isn’t everyone looking to turn back the clock just a little on their skin?
There are several products on the market that have been approved by the FDA for treatment of wrinkles that are associated with aging. There are many options available and many companies claiming to have the best product available for you. Our surgeons will be happy to discuss the various products available in order to make an informed decision as to what is right for you.
Most cosmetic fillers are a temporary solution to wrinkles. Fillers can also be used in depressed scars and add fullness to lips. Some of the products will last longer then others and there is a difference in cost between the fillers. After the initial consultation with one of our plastic surgeons, you and the surgeon can choose which filler would be good for you. You may elect to have the injection at the time of your initial consultation or you may schedule at a later date. There can be some initial swelling and bruising from the injection.
