Injectable Fillers

There are some very good reasons for the popularity of injectable fillers like Restylane® in Columbus for restoring smooth, beautiful facial contours. First, aging is universal and inevitable. No matter how well you take care of your skin, the substances that keep it young break down over time and allow it to wrinkle and sink. Second, no one is pleased to see traces of age dominate their face. Many choose to have a face lift in Columbus with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. Some opt to let Nature take its course without surgery.

Increasing numbers of people from both groups use injectable fillers to smooth away lines and wrinkles for the best reason of all—they work. At Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery we've selected several of the safest, most effective products available today to offer the optimal solution for the trouble spots you want to treat. Whether you're most concerned about deepening lines and wrinkles near your mouth, hollows around your cheeks and eyes, or thin, unappealing lips, we'll have the right answer. Some of the injectables can even be used for non-surgical nose or chin augmentation.

At our practice, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform all injectable treatments. Their in-depth knowledge of facial structures gives them an advantage over other medical professionals who have not received such advanced training. At Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, we believe you will receive the best results from an injectable treatment when it is performed by a plastic surgeon.

Each filler we use contains natural ingredients that work to raise your skin from underneath and rebuild its internal support structure. Perlane® and Restylane® are based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and has been shown to boost collagen production while it firms the skin's foundation and attracts moisture molecules. JUVÉDERM® Injectable Gel, from the same manufacturer as BOTOX® Cosmetic, also hyaluronic acid-based, is FDA-approved for use with all skin types and colors. The calcium-based particles in Radiesse® make it particularly useful as a long-lasting filler for deep grooves and hollows and for facial sculpting. Zyderm® and Zyplast® are collagen implants used successfully for many years to treat wrinkles and scars.

You don't need to know which product is right for you. All you need is a desire to re-create your vibrant, young-looking appearance; one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will do the rest. They will listen to your concerns, examine you, and choose a treatment that will have you looking your best and feeling great almost immediately. Your office visit will be brief, but your results will last a few to several months. If you're one of a small number of patients who experience a reaction to treatment, you may have a slight bruise or light swelling that lasts a day or two.

Most patients we treat with a filler like Restylane at Columbus Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery achieve just what they're hoping for: a refreshed look that boosts their self-confidence. Find out how to join them by requesting your personal consultation or giving us a call at 614-246-6900.
