What to Expect
We’re here to guide you through the process, relieving what stress we can, communicating openly, and setting realistic expectations.
How We Plan Your Filler Treatment
Good filler work looks at your whole face, not a single line. Your injector studies how light, contour and proportion work together, then places filler where it restores balance. The aim is for you to look rested and like yourself, never overdone. We build gradually, because a little filler in the right place does more than a lot in the wrong one.
The proportions we look at
- Facial thirds. A balanced face has three equal sections: hairline to brow, brow to the base of the nose, and nose to chin. A receding chin can make the lower third look short, and chin filler brings it back into proportion.
- The triangle of youth. In younger faces, fullness sits high on the cheekbones and narrows to a defined chin. Bone loss, fat shifting and gravity slowly flip that triangle. Cheek, chin and jawline filler can restore it.
- Temples and midface. Hollow temples can make the face look narrow or tired. Small amounts of filler in the temples or cheeks restore width and soften shadows.
Where Each Filler Is Used
Your injector chooses the filler that fits each area of your face.
| Filler | Best for |
|---|---|
| Restylane Kysse | Lips: fullness and shape that move naturally when you talk and smile |
| Restylane Lyft | Deep structural lift: sharper cheekbones and a more defined jawline |
| Restylane Defyne | Chin and smile lines: chin projection and deep smile lines, with natural movement |
| Restylane Contour | Midface and cheeks: flexible lift that avoids a stiff look |
| RHA Collection | Expressive areas: the gel stretches and recoils with movement |
| Revanesse Versa | Smile lines and cheeks: very little swelling afterward |
| Redensity | Delicate areas: fine lines and subtle refreshment |
Your injector will recommend the right filler at your free consultation.
Fillers for Smile Lines (Nasolabial Folds)
Smile lines are not only caused by smiling. Three changes deepen them with age. The fat pads high on the cheeks slowly descend toward the mouth. The upper jawbone loses density, so there is less support around the nose. And from our 20s, the body makes about 1% less collagen each year, so skin no longer springs back after every smile.
Because the cause is often volume loss in the cheeks, the best correction does not always go directly into the fold. Your injector may lift the midface first, then soften what remains. Hyaluronic acid fillers give an immediate improvement. For gradual, longer-lasting change, ask about Sculptra and pair either with microneedling or a PDO thread lift.
Lip Filler in Royal Oak
Your lips anchor the lower third of the face, so even a small change affects overall balance. Lip filler can add volume to thin lips, even out an upper and lower lip that do not match, define the lip border and add hydration. We numb the area first for comfort. Some swelling or bruising is normal for a few days; ice and arnica help. Lip filler usually lasts 6 to 9 months, a little shorter than filler elsewhere because the lips move constantly.
Filler Aftercare: The First 48 Hours
- Do not massage, rub or press the treated area unless your injector tells you to.
- Stay upright for at least 4 to 6 hours after treatment.
- Avoid heat: saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga and hot baths.
- Limit alcohol and salty foods to keep swelling down.
- Sleep on your back with your head slightly raised if you can.
- Use a medical-grade SPF every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What dermal fillers do you use?
We use FDA-approved fillers chosen for each area: the Restylane Collection, from fine lines to lips; Revanesse Versa, for soft volume with minimal swelling; Redensity, for delicate areas; and the RHA Collection, which moves naturally with your expressions.
Who is a good candidate for fillers?
Healthy adults who want subtle, natural-looking improvements, such as restored volume, softer lines or better facial balance, and who value realistic expectations.
How many injections will I need?
It depends on your goals, anatomy and the area treated. Some clients need a few precise placements; others benefit from more. Your injector maps out a plan at your consultation so you know what to expect.
What do filler injections feel like?
Most clients describe a quick pinch or light pressure. We can apply a topical numbing cream first, and many fillers also contain lidocaine for extra comfort.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid alcohol, aspirin and supplements like fish oil for several days before your visit, if your doctor approves. Book at least a month before a special event, and come ready to share your goals.
How long does lip filler last?
Usually 6 to 9 months. Fillers in the cheeks and chin often last 12 to 18 months or longer, depending on the product and your metabolism.
Can I still smile normally after filler?
Yes. The fillers we use for smile lines and lips are designed to move with your face, so your expressions stay natural.
Can filler be reversed?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an injection of hyaluronidase if you ever want to adjust or remove the result.
What is the most natural-looking filler?
No single filler is the most natural; it depends on where it goes. Softer, flexible gels suit areas that move a lot, like the lips, while firmer gels suit structural areas like the cheeks and chin.
Which fillers are best for cheek and jawline contouring?
For structure and lift, firmer gels such as Restylane Lyft and Restylane Contour work well in the cheeks, and Restylane Defyne helps with chin projection. Your injector will choose based on how much lift and definition you need.
