5 Areas of the Face That Can Be Improved with Fillers


When you look in the mirror, the signs of aging you see on your face can be distressing. Beginning as early as your 30s or even late 20s, fine lines around the mouth and nose, dark circles under the eyes, and drooping upper eyelids, little by little, have started appearing.

Many contributing factors can be causing these irritating symptoms: smoking, stress, lack of sleep, excessive sun exposure, and genetics are all to blame for the early signs of aging.

Fortunately, the board-certified plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg in Virginia have several non-surgical options in the form of injectable dermal fillers that can rejuvenate your face and help turn back the clock on aging.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Also known as injectable fillers, dermal fillers are a valuable tool in restoring fullness and volume to your face, ultimately reducing the appearance of age-related lines, wrinkles, and other flaws. Many patients experience facial fat and volume loss as a natural consequence of the aging process.

Fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin with a blunt tip cannula. Many of the elements injected, such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, occur naturally in the skin, making them well-received by most patients. Even better, injections require no recovery time and provide immediate results!

We offer a comprehensive selection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, specifically formulated for specific skin areas, to patients in the Fredericksburg, Virginia area. These include:

  • Juvéderm® Voluma
  • Juvéderm® Ultra
  • Juvéderm® Ultra Plus
  • Restylane®
  • Restylane® Lyft
  • Restylane® Silk

Dermal Fillers, A Noninvasive Alternative

Dermal fillers are highly effective and easily customized for each patient, addressing specific problem areas. For long-lasting results, patients can maintain their results by following a customized treatment plan with routine scheduled treatments.

Curious about how your face could benefit from filler injections? Check out this list of five common areas where dermal fillers can be used!

1. Cheeks and Temples: Added Contour, Curve, and Lift

The rich formula of Juvéderm® Voluma can create more structured-looking cheekbones and add plumpness to your temples, adding a more youthful look to your mid-face.

2. Smile Lines: Smoothed Nasolabial Folds

Filler applied to the mid-face fills in the smile lines and wrinkles known as nasolabial folds, providing a perfect balance of flexibility and smoothness. It’s an ideal treatment for an area that constantly moves as you talk and smile.

3. Lips: Volumized, Smoothed Vertical lines, Improved Symmetry

Not only can we use dermal fillers to achieve natural-looking volume in our lips, but they can also smooth vertical lip lines and wrinkles that form around the lips.

4. Chin: Balanced Proportions, Added Definition

By adding definition to the chin, fillers can create an improved, balanced, and better-defined profile. Many patients are surprised at how much more youthful they look with artfully placed filler injections creating a slimmer chin, together with filled-in lines and wrinkles.

5. Jawline and Neck: Smoothed, Confident, Youthful

The highly cohesive Juvéderm® Voluma formula can be applied along the bony jawline area, strengthening the natural contours, smoothing horizontal wrinkles and lines in the neck.

Take the Next Step, Refresh Your Appearance!

Are you tired of fine lines and wrinkles on your face? Then dermal fillers or other non-invasive facial rejuvenation may be your best move towards refreshing your appearance.

Since no surgery is involved, the recovery time associated with injectable fillers is virtually nonexistent. Patients can quickly complete a filler treatment and then continue with their daily routine, even returning to work the same day.

Sagging Lids? Consider a Brow Lift.

If your sagging brows are camouflaging your beautiful baby blues (or browns, or greens, or hazels), come in for a brow lift and bring your eyes out of hiding. Our eyes are often touted as the windows to our souls, so you need to show them off to the world!

What Is a Brow Lift?

A brow lift is a surgical rejuvenation procedure that lifts and tightens the skin around the forehead and eyebrow area. It is also known as a forehead lift or eyebrow lift. It can be performed on its own or paired with other procedures, like a facelift or blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

During a brow lift, small incisions are made across the scalp and/or temples and the skin is gently lifted and tightened. Your incisions and any scarring you may have (typically minimal) will be hidden by your hair. We often perform endoscopic brow lifts which allow for smaller incisions and an easier recovery. We can help you determine if an endoscopic or traditional brow lift will be the best option for your situation.

What Can a Brow Lift Do for Me?

A brow lift can transform your appearance. The procedure can:

  • Reduce sagging skin above the eyes.
  • Reshape the eyebrows (including low, asymmetrical, or sagging brows).
  • Create or restore a missing arch in the brows.
  • Smooth forehead wrinkles.
  • Reduce wrinkles between the eyes.
  • Reduce wrinkles across the top of the nose.

What’s Recovery Like After a Brow Lift?

Many of our patients are surprised to learn that recovery after a brow lift is easier than expected. The downtime you’ll experience can vary depending on whether you receive a traditional or an endoscopic brow lift. Plan for about one week of swelling. We’ll help you manage your discomfort with pain medications.

Don’t let anything mask your beautiful eyes. Alone or paired with other procedures, a brow lift can restore confidence and rejuvenate your appearance. Schedule your consultation today by calling 540-371-7730.
