Guide to Injectable Fillers at Eagle Aesthetics & Surgery
Here at Eagle Aesthetics & Surgery, we offer a variety of HSA-approved injectable filler options to help you achieve youthful, rejuvenated skin.
What are Injectable Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical option to address signs of aging by replacing lost volume in the face. They work by injecting gel-like substances into the skin to smooth wrinkles and plump thinning facial tissues.
Common filler materials include:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is already found in your skin. It helps keep skin plump and hydrated. HA fillers are typically soft and gel-like.
Results: Temporary, from 6 to 12 months or longer
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
Calcium hydroxylapatite is a naturally occurring substance, found primarily in bones. The calcium particles are suspended in a smooth gel and injected as fillers.
Results: Typically last longer than HA fillers, about 12 months
Polymethyl-methacrylate microspheres (PMMA)
PMMA is a synthetic, biocompatible substance. In dermal fillers, it remains beneath the skin indefinitely as is considered semi-permanent
What Can Injectable Fillers Treat?
Periorbital Area
The delicate area surrounding the eyes is another common target for dermal fillers. Subtle dermal filler injections strategically placed in this delicate area restore a bright, wide-eyed and well-rested appearance.
Lips
Thinning lips that have lost fullness and definition with age are one of the top areas treated with fillers. Fillers are excellent choices for creating fuller, more youthful-looking lips subtly
Tear Trouugh
The tear trough is the area between your cheek and lower eyelid. As we age, we lose volume in this area, causing under-eye dark circles, hollows and eye bags to appear.
Tear trough fillers are an effective way to treat dark circles under the eyes and under-eye hollows. By injecting filler under the eyes, we fill the volume lost by ageing – lightening dark circles, filling under eye hollows and wrinkles.
Nasolabial Folds
Often called “smile lines” or “laugh lines,” the folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth typically deepen with age. Fillers injected into this area can instantly reduce the appearance of these folds, giving the lower face a more lifted and sculpted look.
Marionette Lines
The vertical folds extending from the corners of the mouth down toward the chin, known as marionette lines, become more defined with facial expression over time. Fillers smooth out these lines, giving the lower face a rejuvenated contour.
Cheeks
As we age, the cheeks lose volume and prominence, making the face look gaunt or drawn. Refilling the cheek area shapes and lifts the midface, balancing out jowls and jawlines. A subtle cheek filler bump defines cheekbones for a sculpted look.
Chin and Jawline
To counteract weakening or looseness in this area, fillers can reinforce the chin and jawline, restoring definition and angularity to the lower face profile. This creates a tautened, contoured appearance along the lower third.
Are fillers safe?
When administered by a licensed and experienced medical professional, fillers are considered very safe. All fillers carry some side effects, which usually subside within a few days
- Bruising & swelling
- Lumps & bumps
- Tenderness & discomfort
More serious complications are rare, but possible, and a skilled surgeon will inform you of these risks and how they can be mitigated in the practice.
