When injected beneath the skin, they restore a smoother and more youthful appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"injectable-filler-types\">Injectable Filler Types<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While there are a variety of injectable fillers available, Dr. O\u2019Mara most commonly uses Juvederm\u00ae, Restylane\u00ae andPerlane\u00ae. These fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring skin component. They may be used to improve a wide variety of skin imperfections including moderate to deep facial wrinkles, lines and folds. They can enhance the lips by improving the definition of the lip border or by adding fullness to the body of the lips. They can also volumize facial subunits like the cheeks. These injectable fillers are ideal for individuals with prominent nasolabial folds and fine lines around the mouth and lips, and are an ideal solution for improving prominent grooves between the lower eyelids and cheeks in patients who do not wish to undergo surgery. The results of Juvederm\u00ae, Restylane\u00ae and Perlane\u00ae last an average of ten months.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"injectable-filler-procedure\">Injectable Filler Procedure<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Dr. O\u2019Mara performs all injectable fillers procedure himself in the office procedure room at Facial Plastic Surgery Of Beaumont, Texas. Treatment times take just five to ten minutes and a topical anesthetic is commonly used, though local anesthesia is used when treating the lips. Some minor bruising can occur on occasion. However, there is no downtime associated with injectable fillers and patients are able to return to work the very same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"injectable_filler\" class=\"wp-block-group faq-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"injectable-fillers-faq\">Injectable Fillers FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#292td159wbca0xu8bd86kd\">I\u2019m 37 and there are a few things about my face that I\u2019d like to improve. I figure that I\u2019m probably on the young side to be considering a facelift, though I am bothered by the aging changes in my face. Are there ever benefits to getting a facelift early on or is it better at my age to consider other options like injectables?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"292td159wbca0xu8bd86kd\">\n<p>Facelift procedures are usually performed on patients beginning in their upper forties and fifties. In younger patients, other procedures such as Botox and injectable fillers are more common. Surgical procedures such as submental liposuction are also helpful in younger patients.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#ytxxe3mo88alf09i2swszd\">Is it true that injectable fillers can be used for a nose job without the surgery? What changes can be made to the nose this way?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"ytxxe3mo88alf09i2swszd\">\n<p>Injectable fillers can be used to provide minor contour chances to the nose, but I do not feel that fillers are an alternative to rhinoplasty surgery. Fillers are helpful in enhancing small depressed areas of the nose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#40jk1fnhew4z5yqxbdi6pm\">My 16 year old daughter wants to have a nose job. Her nose is not very large, but it is crooked and one nostril is visibly bigger than the other. I have heard of a non-surgical way to correct minor imperfections. Can you tell me about this new less invasive Rhinoplasty procedure?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"40jk1fnhew4z5yqxbdi6pm\">\n<p>It sounds like your daughter may have a deviated nasal septum causing the nostril asymmetry. Furthermore, she may have had nasal trauma in the past or was born with a crooked nose. Minor nasal corrections can be adjusted with injectables to fill subtle contours. Judging by the way you describe her nose, this definitely sounds like a surgical case. The good news is that many times, medical insurance will cover correction of her nasal abnormalities, especially if it is causing nasal airway obstruction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#73gye7opoql1akiyh8avclh\">I\u2019m in my 40s and have developed some fine lines around my eyes over the past year. They\u2019ve been bothering me more and more so I would like to fix them. Are fillers a good option for this and which one would be best? Also, how long will the results last?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"73gye7opoql1akiyh8avclh\">\n<p>Fillers are a good nonsurgical option for periorbital rejuvenation. They are particularly good for filling the groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek. For fine lines around the eyes, particularly in the crow\u2019s feet region, I prefer Botox injection. The fillers that I use most are Juvederm and Restylane, and both of these products last an average of ten months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#aeidqtysi0wiglupf6qvlp\">I am a 20 year old Caucasian female and have already started noticing lines around my forehead and eyes. I don\u2019t want to go under the knife just yet. Would receiving an injectable filler be a good option for me?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"aeidqtysi0wiglupf6qvlp\">\n<p>Hyperdynamic lines of the forehead and periorbital regions usually respond better to Botox injection rather than an injectable filler. Sometimes, however, patients who have deep wrinkles, especially in the brows, respond well to a combination of Botox and a filler. Because of your youthful age, I suspect that Botox alone will best suit you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#ll78i3vvuwgbonklke45pk\">How are specific brands of injectable fillers chosen for each patient? Can someone have an allergic reaction to a filler?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"ll78i3vvuwgbonklke45pk\">\n<p>I almost exclusively inject hyaluronic acid fillers in my practice. The most common brand that I use is Juvederm. I like this filler because it is soft and natural feeling, does not tend to form lumps beneath the skin, is completely absorbable and not permanent. There are reports of patients having allergic reactions to injectable fillers, but I have not personally seen it occur.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#ez2d5u0kckw67aj8dm2h2m\">I have deep frown lines between my eyebrows that I\u2019d like to fix, but I am worried about the toxicity of the chemical fillers. What are the long terms effects on health and skin after using these injectable fillers?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"ez2d5u0kckw67aj8dm2h2m\">\n<p>I almost exclusively use injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers in the face.&nbsp; There are several products available which work well.&nbsp; This is composed of a naturally occurring substance found in the skin and is not made from animal products.&nbsp; Although mentioned as a potential risk, I have never seen an allergic reaction to this product after injection.&nbsp; There are studies which suggest that this type of filler stimulates collagen formation which is desirable in long-term reduction of wrinkles.&nbsp; This is an absorbable filler that lasts approximately 10 months.&nbsp; I know of no long term deleterious effects after injection of HA fillers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#yf14au46k3q86yy4mh6e8r\">I\u2019m starting to see fine vertical lines above my upper lip and little cracks in the corners. Can you make them go away?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"yf14au46k3q86yy4mh6e8r\">\n<p>I most commonly treat these lines around the lips and mouth with an injectable filler.&nbsp; This usually lasts 10-12 months, although some studies suggest that fillers stimulate new collagen formation and can provide a longer result.&nbsp; It takes approximately 5-10 minutes in the office setting.&nbsp; For deeper lines of the lips and face, sometimes dermabrasion or laser resurfacing is the better option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#3jn49cgphbc41y2sfrvvry\">I\u2019d like to get fuller lips with injectables but I\u2019ve seen some really fake looking \u201cfish lips,\u201d even on celebrities! Is there a secret to natural looking results?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"3jn49cgphbc41y2sfrvvry\">\n<p>Short answer, I just say no to bigger lips.&nbsp; Many patients forget what they originally looked like before entering the world of injectable fillers.&nbsp; I tend to be very conservative with injecting lips and often show patients their original photographs before repeating injections.&nbsp; I almost always avoid injecting the entire length of the lip, sparing the lip area at the corner of the mouth.&nbsp; This can maintain a natural transition of the upper and lower lip and not create a \u201cfish lip\u201d appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<button class=\"fm-toggler\" data-target=\"#6mcaogajya99darn3d8qn5\">There are so many brands of fillers! What\u2019s the difference between them and how do I choose which one I want?<\/button><div class=\"fm-toggle\" id=\"6mcaogajya99darn3d8qn5\">\n<p>I exclusively inject fillers composed of hyaluronic acid (HA).&nbsp; This is a naturally occurring substance in the skin and not made from animal products.&nbsp; They are produced in varying viscosities.&nbsp; For example, a smaller particle sized filler would be a good choice for small lip lines, and a larger particle sized filler would be a good choice for a deep nasolabial fold.&nbsp; Also, HA fillers are not permanent and provide a natural soft enhancement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"ent_content_cta content_cta\">Call Southeast Texas Ear, Nose &#038; Throat at <a href=\"tel:+14092128111\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(409) 212-8111<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fp_content_cta content_cta\">Call Facial Plastic Surgery of Beaumont at <a href=\"tel:+14092128121\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(409) 212-8121<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"allergy_content_cta content_cta\">Call the Allergy &#038; Sinus Center at <a href=\"tel:+14099811777\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(409) 981-1777<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"hearing_content_cta content_cta\">Call the Hearing Aid &#038; Tinnitus Center at <a href=\"tel:+14099811700\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(409) 981-1700<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Injectable fillers are volumizing substances, which can be used to restore volume to specific areas of the face, fill wrinkles, and enhance the lips.
