Facial Filler

As you age, wrinkles and hollows may form under the eyes, making you look older than you actually are. As your skin begins to lose firmness and elasticity, the eyes are often the first feature to show signs of aging. Non-surgical blepharoplasty can refresh the eyes for a younger-looking appearance.
What Is Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty?
Non-surgical blepharoplasty uses cosmetic fillers and Botox® to treat undereye wrinkles, depressions, and volume loss. Because non-surgical blepharoplasty does not require surgery, patients experience no downtime and are immediately able to get back to daily activities. Non-surgical blepharoplasty can achieve long-lasting and natural-looking eye rejuvenation results that can last years before touch up appointments are needed.
Compare non-surgical blepharoplasty and traditional eyelid surgery below:
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty: Wrinkles and hollows are improved with cosmetic fillers and Botox® with no recovery period necessary. Results are long-lasting, but routine touch up appointments will be needed in the future.
Traditional Eyelid Surgery: Loose skin is surgically removed and repositioned with a recovery period of 1-2 weeks. Results are longer-lasting than non-surgical blepharoplasty.
What Can Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Treat?
Non-surgical blepharoplasty can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creases around the eyes. Additionally, non-surgical blepharoplasty can also effectively treat volume loss that contributes to depressions under the eyes. This hollowness can be corrected with non-surgical blepharoplasty for a fuller, more youthful appearance.
How Long Do Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Results Last?
In the majority of cases, non-surgical blepharoplasty results can last years before additional treatments are needed. The amount of time between non-surgical blepharoplasty treatments varies on a patient to patient basis. Dr. Asaadi can help determine when touch up appointments are needed.

With age comes a loss of elasticity and firmness of the skin. This manifests itself in our face with wrinkles, creases, and lines, especially in emotive areas, including around our mouth and eyes.
If you would like to reduce signs of aging, cosmetic fillers may help you achieve your goals.
Cosmetic fillers are designed to give the face a naturally fuller and firmer look by injecting hyaluronic acid into areas of depleted volume. Hyaluronic acid, which is produced naturally by the body, retains moisture, keeping the face plump and youthful.
As we age, our body produces less hyaluronic acid, resulting in looser and more wrinkled skin. Cosmetic fillers can restore some of this moisture, filling in wrinkles and creases for younger-looking skin.
Types of Cosmetic Fillers
Juvederm®: Juvederm® dermal filler is comprised of hyaluronic acid and can treat nasolabial folds, wrinkles, and fine lines.
Perlane®: Perlane® is a cosmetic filler that works deep into the skin to treat moderate-to-severe facial lines and folds.
Belotero®: Belotero® is a lighter dermal filler designed to create subtle, natural-looking results in the treatment of facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and hollowed under-eyes.
Voluma®: Voluma® can treat hollowed cheeks by restoring volume, contours, and shape in the cheeks.
Volbella®: Volbella® cosmetic filler can volumize the lips and create a youthful appearance by smoothing out marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and lines around the mouth.
With so many cosmetic filler options, it is necessary you choose a plastic surgeon who understands your individual anatomy and goals. Dr. Asaadi will help you decide which treatment will work best for you, and assist you in achieving natural-looking results.
Cosmetic fillers can provide a quick facial rejuvenation without the downtime of surgery, or can be combined with surgical treatments for enhanced results. Changes in appearance can typically be seen in the weeks following treatment, with continuing results.

Rejuvenate your appearance with the latest cosmetic fillers! Volbella®, Voluma®, and Belotero® can each reduce the signs of aging in different ways. Voluma® can treat hollowing of the mid-face, while Belotero® and Volbella® can address smile lines, as well as wrinkles around the eyes. These treatments can be completed in-office and require no recovery time. Learn more about these cosmetic fillers below.
Volbella®
Volbella® is a specially designed dermal filler that can add volume to the lips and improve smile lines. Made from hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance found in your body), Volbella® can be safely injected into the lips to add volume and achieve a more plump appearance. Additionally, your plastic surgeon can inject Volbella® into wrinkles around the mouth, including smile lines, to add natural-looking fullness to the mid-face.
Voluma®
Voluma® is a hyaluronic acid filler that can add definition to the cheeks. Voluma® has a firmer consistency than other cosmetic fillers and can be injected deeper into the skin to provide longer-lasting volume. Voluma® can be inserted into the cheeks to reduce hollowness and lift flat cheeks.
Belotero®
Belotero® is a lighter cosmetic filler made from hyaluronic acid that can improve fine lines and marionette lines around the eyes and mouth. Belotero® is softer than most dermal fillers, making it an ideal option to smooth superficial facial lines found around the mouth, lips, and eyes. Belotero® can be injected close to the surface of the skin to add natural-looking volume.
Which Cosmetic Filler Is Right For Me?
Your plastic surgeon can discuss which dermal filler will best fit your procedure goals during your consultation. Choosing a skilled, experienced plastic surgeon is important when considering cosmetic fillers in order to achieve ideal results. Each patient’s facial structure is unique and an advanced understanding of the facial anatomy is required to administer dermal fillers.
Volbella®, Voluma®, and Belotero® can each achieve natural-looking results that may last years. Follow-up treatments are required to maintain your youthful-looking results.

For patients who have undergone a facial rejuvenation procedure in the past, it is important to maintain results in order to sustain a youthful-looking appearance. Regular touch-ups with cosmetic fillers can guard against fine lines, hollowing, or wrinkles caused by aging and sun exposure. These non-surgical injectables temporarily restore volume to different areas of the face, enhancing the results of a previous facial rejuvenation treatment for years to come, including a facelift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, brow lift, rhinoplasty, or facial implants.
How Do Cosmetic Fillers Work?
Cosmetic fillers are made from a naturally-occurring substance known as hyaluronic acid. These injectables are carefully injected into facial areas that have lost volume or definition to add fullness. Cosmetic fillers can smooth fine lines, improve the appearance of hollows, and reduce facial folds that form naturally over time. In addition to hyaluronic acid-based fillers, Botox® can be utilized to improve facial wrinkling; this substance is made from botulinum toxin and stops nerve impulses by relaxing facial muscles.
What Types Of Cosmetic Fillers Are Available?
There are a variety of cosmetic injectables available to treat specific facial conditions. Juvederm®, Restylane®, Voluma®, and Belotero® are all hyaluronic acid fillers that can achieve youthful-looking results. Botox® is another option to maintain natural-looking volume.
What Areas Can Cosmetic Fillers Treat?
Cosmetic fillers can treat the upper, mid, and lower facial regions. Fine lines and facial furrows around the brows and eyelids can be corrected, as can hollowing around the mid-face. Injectables can also reduce smile lines and wrinkles above the lips. Patients suffering from a loss of jawline definition can undergo treatment with dermal fillers to enhance contours, as well.
What Is Treatment Like?
Cosmetic injectables are a completely non-invasive treatment option, meaning there is no surgery involved. Fillers are carefully injected into the treatment area(s) in less than a half hour. There is no downtime associated and patients can resume daily activities upon completing their procedure.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
After undergoing your cosmetic filler treatment, you can expect to see results in the following days. Results usually last 6 months to a year. Follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain your youthful-looking results.
