Injectable Fillers
CALIFORNIA’S LEADING AESTHETIC CENTER
It’s an inevitable fact of life that as you age, your face will change. These changes sometimes give off an impression or emotion we don’t like. Age brings experience and wisdom, but it can leave us looking tired or fatigued, even though we feel as lively and full as ever on the inside. Thankfully, when you visit a qualified ophthalmic plastic surgeon like Dr Jeffrey Joseph, you can count on a variety of cosmetic procedures to keep you looking great and natural. One quick and effective treatment that has become overwhelmingly popular is to receive injectable fillers.

What Are Injectable Fillers?
Also called dermal fillers, this treatment uses formulations of hyaluronic acid gel to address wrinkles or loose skin. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is already naturally present in your body, but we begin to lose it as we age. The purpose of our fillers is to replace what you’ve lost with refined, safe formulas:
Our Available Formulas
The filler you choose can depend on which area or signs of aging you would like to address. Our options include:
- Juvederm Voluma: A popular product for restoring the volume of your midface and cheeks. This formula can provide you with a midface lift that can last for two years.
- Juvederm Vollure: A new generation filler from Allergan that provides natural volume and movement.
- Juvederm Volbella: Another new filler that is soft and natural. It works wonderfully for the lips and the areas around the eyes, including tear troughs and dark circles around the eyes.
- Juvederm XC: This gel expands as it hydrates after it’s injected. This is primarily used for lips and mouth contours.
- Skinvive: This microdroplet formula enhances skin hydration and elasticity, resulting in improved cheek smoothness.
- Juvederm Volux: A specialized formula for improving jawline definition and minor jowls.
- Restylane: This hyaluronic gel is used for eye hollows.
- Restylane Defyne: A variation of Restylane, it is used for natural volume with some lift. It works very well for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and full but natural-looking lips.
- Restylane Refyne: Similar to Defyne, but softer for a less full but naturally smooth look.
- Restylane Contour: Specialized for deeper injection to address facial wrinkles and folds and to improve the midface contour.
Injectable fillers treat wrinkles without the need for surgery. You can achieve a rejuvenated experience in only a couple of minutes, and your results can last for months at a time without the need for downtime or recovery.
Are Fillers Right for Me?
If you believe your eyes look more tired than you would prefer, this may be the procedure for you. Eyelid blepharoplasty, brow lifts, and more are great ways to help update your look, but they may not be necessary if all you need is some filler. Visit our practice, and we will evaluate your situation to determine which procedure is in your best interest.
- Fillers provide near-instant results while maintaining a high safety profile for patients.
- Fillers can both reduce and prevent signs of aging, making them ideal for patients across age groups.
- Fillers create temporary results, requiring minimal commitment and enhanced flexibility for crafting your aesthetic.
What Fillers Can I Get for My Eyelids?
At our practice, we specialize in oculofacial treatments, including fillers for eyelid injection. Our job is to make sure you have the cosmetic and medical tools to ensure your eyes look and work their best. Our injectable fillers contour your eyelids to make sure they always look vibrant and beautiful.
Not everyone sees puffiness and heaviness in their eyelids as they age. Sometimes, your eyelids may hollow out as you age or as a result of a blepharoplasty where too much skin and fat were removed. If this is what you are suffering from, a filler may be precisely what you need.
- Upper Eyelid Filler: Dermal filler for the upper eyelid can address lost volume and shape. Fillers subtly restore a refined, youthful shape to the eye.
- Lower Eyelid Filler: Under-eye filler can restore lost volume and smooth out uneven texture. A skilled specialist will use minimal filler to achieve a subtle yet notable improvement in one’s appearance.
- Temple Filler: While not specifically an eyelid filler, temple fillers can greatly improve the appearance of the brows and upper eyelids. These fillers can help restore a youthful shape to the upper face with enhanced balance and an overall lifted look.
What Does a Filler Treatment Session Entail?
Having fillers involves a process that:
- Is Quick
- Done in-office
- Requires No downtime
- Is Painless
The treatment involves a small amount of filler injected delicately into the target area. The amount and type of filler will depend on your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, you will have a chance to learn about the types of fillers and which will be best for you.
There is also a needleless filler process. Using the newest technology, we can perform your filler injections without the need for a needle. The process involves the use of a thin tube called a micro-cannula to inject the filler, allowing for a smoother dose without bruising and similar complications.
Do Fillers Have a Recovery Period?
Filler injections are relatively simple procedures performed in the office, with little to no downtime after. Since there are no incisions, you do not need to worry about scarring or long recovery periods. Instead, you receive immediate results that last for months on end. At most, patients may take a day or two away from social engagements to allow mild swelling to dissipate.
The cannula procedure in particular is so simple. Patients can usually return to normal activities right after the process is finished. Sometimes there will be some bruising, but it can be covered up with makeup after the treatment.
Why Is Our Practice the Right Choice?
Most of the changes associated with aging are related to volume loss around the eyes, which means an oculofacial plastic surgeon is the perfect choice to oversee your treatment. The anatomy of your eyelids and surrounding area is complicated, which is why it’s best to stick with a surgeon who carries expertise in this area. The advantages our surgeons bring to the table include:
- Experience: We have plenty of experience applying dermal fillers to areas around the eyes and eyelids, so you can rest assured we know what we’re doing.
- Ability: Our trained microsurgeons know how to inject the most precise amount of filler into your eyelids to ensure proper results, as well as your comfort.
- Knowledge: Why go with just any cosmetic surgeon, when you can go with the eyelid experts? We have specific expertise on the complicated, sensitive tissues surrounding your eye. We will even let you know if a different procedure would best handle the particular results you are looking for.
