Fillers

For many women and men, nasolabial folds (lines extending from the side of the nose down to the corner of the mouth), deep creases between the eyebrows, and other types of wrinkles can be improved with facial fillers.

There are a variety of safe, effective fillers that address deep wrinkles and folds. The FDA-approved, popular choices include Restylane, collagen, Advanta, AlloDerm, Fascian and others. Collagen may be human derived (i.e., Cosmoderm / Cosmoplast) or bovine derived (i.e., Zyderm / Zyderm II / Zyplast). Many facial fillers are injectible, and while there may be some bruising and redness, there is little or no downtime.

During your consultation, you and Dr. Schmid will discuss the benefits and limitations of each, and help you decide which filler is best.
