Facial Fillers in Beverly Hills
Wrinkles and creases in the face are a natural and inevitable part of the aging process. Facial fillers in Beverly Hills can soften these lines by adding volume to the soft tissues beneath the skin. Beyond smoothing lines in the face, facial fillers – also known as dermal fillers or injectable fillers – can add volume to the contours, changing the shape of the nose, chin, cheeks, temples, and more to create more symmetry and balance. At Sykes Plastic Surgery, you can trust that an artist and master injector will contour your face to create more overall harmony.

What Are Facial Fillers?
Most facial fillers are made from hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in the body found in the skin and cartilage – and other materials that add volume to the facial contours for a certain amount of time until the body absorbs them. These stabilized, soft, injectable gels address wrinkles, folds, and areas that could benefit from added volume to create a more plump, youthful appearance to the complexion. With artistic injections strategically placed within the tissues, dermal fillers can do anything from smoothing wrinkles to changing the shape of the nose or chin, adding lift to the cheekbones, and restoring volume to hollow facial regions.
What Does It Feel Like to Get Fillers?
What Happens During Filler Treatment in Los Angeles?
Your facial fillers procedure involves carefully targeted injections into the treatment areas outlined during your consultation. Some facial fillers have a built-in numbing agent, but Dr. Sykes can also apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
Most treatments take 15 to 45 minutes, and you may resume your daily activities immediately afterward. Dr. Sykes recommends waiting to go back to more strenuous activities and avoiding the sun while the treatment settles into your tissues. Any potential swelling, redness, or tenderness will subside.

FAQ
Beverly Hills FIllers
Dermal fillers are FDA-approved substances that fill out portions of the face, such as the lips, cheeks, jawline, and temples. They are designed to add volume in areas of the face that have lost volume from aging.
Neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify® are derived from the botulinum A toxin and are FDA-approved medical treatments to relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Botox can lift and shape the brow, enhance facial symmetry, smooth the skin, correct a gummy smile, and decrease excessive underarm sweating.
There are several classes of dermal fillers. They include hyaluronic acid gels like Restylane or Juvederm; or calcium hydroxylapatite like Radiesse.
Dermal fillers can add volume to the face in areas of deflation. They also can create bony structures and, therefore, can improve areas like the jawline or the nose.
Any area of the face can be enhanced by a dermal filler. Examples include jawline enhancement, lip augmentation, cheek or mid-face augmentation, and non-surgical rhinoplasty.
The length of time a filler lasts is related to the specific area of the face and the product used. Some products are stronger and take longer to be re-absorbed. Thinner products may absorb faster.
Other factors that contribute to filler longevity include the area it is injected. For instance, in the lower eyelid or nose, where there is very little facial movement, the filler will last a longer period of time, often lasting 1 to 2 years. In the lips, on the other hand, there is a large amount of motion; therefore, lip filler often does not last longer than 6 months. The interval between injections relates to several factors, including how the patient perceives their appearance.
There is a slight amount of discomfort with injection of dermal fillers. However, pain is very minimal in most instances and well-tolerated. The filler substance is mixed with lidocaine, and this substance minimizes post-operative comfort.
Dr. Sykes can also apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
There is usually no downtime from the injection of dermal fillers. However, in rare instances, patients will have bruising that may keep them out of work for a day or two. Most of Dr. Sykes’ patients return to work immediately.
It is important to not overdo dermal filler injections and not distort the face in any way. This is of course related to the skill and visual eye of the injector. As a master injector, Dr. Sykes ensures you will receive natural-looking dermal filler results that enhance your facial features.
