Injectable Fillers

Menu of Injectable Fillers in our New York Medical Spa

Our medical spa offers a variety of injectables that can improve your facial appearance and increase your self-image. At the New York Group for Plastic Surgery these treatments are administered by a highly trained and skilled plastic surgeon for increased precision and patient safety. These treatments provide a temporary alternative to plastic surgery such as face lift and eyelid surgery when creasing is minimal.

• Restylane®, Radiesse® and JUVÉDERM® fill in frown lines and marionette lines around the mouth, as well as other common facial wrinkles. These products, which are made with a natural substance found in the body called hylauronic acid, also effectively produce fuller lips. The improvements can last 6 months to 18 months.
• Sculptra® improves facial contours by encouraging the body to increase collagen production, gradually increasing skin thickness. It helps the body fill in around hollowed cheeks, sunken eyes, and marionette lines. Sculptra is made from a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid, which is similar to the substance produced by the body during strenuous exercise. Optimum results are usually attained after 3 to 6 initial treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. These improvements usually last about 2 years.

At your personalized consultation, your surgeon will explain the various facial treatment options to help you choose the one that is best suited for you. He might even suggest alternatives to injectable fillers that could be more appropriate for your specific condition. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections improve wrinkles caused by facial muscle movements. If you have advanced signs of aging, you might achieve better results with a facial surgery procedure, such as a brow lift or a facelift.

What to Expect from Dermal Fillers in New York

Many New York women and men choose injectable fillers because they are quick, effective, and require minimal recovery time. Your surgeon will perform the injections in our relaxing medical spa suite using a very fine needle for maximum control and comfort. The entire treatment is usually complete in under an hour.

You may experience some minor swelling and bruising immediately after your treatment, but it will usually disappear within a day or two. You can immediately resume your normal daily routine, although you should avoid exposure to heat, sun, and strenuous activity for a day or two.

Our medical spa patients often gain a boost in self-confidence. They also enjoy the renewed and refreshed look with the help of injectable facial fillers. Visit the New York Group for Plastic Surgery and find out how we can help you improve your look in no time.
