Injection of filler into the face for volumization is a very popular procedure around the world. There are several products available in the United States. The most common used in our clinic are Juvéderm® and Restylane®. Both use hyaluronic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in our bodies, to temporarily restore volume to the face.
Although this is a common procedure performed at many med spas and by a variety of providers of different training backgrounds, it is important to choose your injector wisely. There are subtle nuances to filler injection that can maximize your result. Furthermore, inappropriate or inaccurate injection can lead to complications, some of which can be severe.
