Reversing the Signs of Aging with No Downtime
At Greer Plastic Surgery, we understand that sometimes, life gets in the way of taking care of yourself. As you age, your skin begins to lose elasticity and volume, causing you to look older than you feel. Dermal fillers can replenish that lost volume, and in turn, replenish your youthful appearance.


What Are Fillers?
Fillers are injectables that add volume to the skin. They are commonly used on the smile lines around the mouth, the lips, and the cheeks. Fillers come in many different forms, but they all work by adding volume. Choosing the right filler for you can depend on which area you would like addressed and your desired results.

RESTYLANE, RHA & BELOTERO IN MENTOR
Restylane, RHA, and Belotero are hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of your skin that makes it look supple and young-looking. These fillers are commonly used to treat fines lines and problem areas in the lips and the cheeks. Restylane, and Belotero last about 6-9 months per treatment. RHA lasts about 9-18 months per treatment. During your initial consultation, we will discuss which filler product is the best choice for you.
Radiesse
Radiesse is a filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite, a mineral found in bone. Radiesse adds volume immediately, but also builds collagen to give you a lasting result. It’s commonly used to improve the appearance of the cheeks and hands. When diluted, it improves the texture of “crepey” skin over the neck, chest, legs, and arms. One treatment with Radiesse lasts about 9-12 months.


Sculptra
Sculptra does not add volume immediately, but works by stimulating your cells’ production of collagen, a protein that supports connective tissue. Sculptra is great for adding overall volume to the face. In order to achieve the best results, several Sculptra treatments are performed, with each treatment being held around 6 weeks apart. Sculptra treatments last about 2 years.

Before Filler Treatment
At Greer Plastic Surgery, we recommend that you avoid aspirin and ibuprofen (blood thinning medications) for one week prior to your treatment as they may increase bruising. You can still safely have fillers, but you are at higher risk of bruising.
During Filler Treatment
We apply numbing cream to the treatment area to keep you comfortable during your treatment. We also use cold spray right before each injection. You will receive several small injections with a tiny needle, and afterwards, we’ll have you apply an ice pack for 5 to 10 minutes to prevent bruising.

After Filler Treatment
The risks of injection include swelling and bruising. You may feel little lumps and bumps; this is normal and goes away after a week or two.
Most fillers give an immediate result. They are gradually broken down by the body, so your results will slowly dissipate. Dissipation occurs at different rates depending on the filler you’ve chosen.
Ready to See Youthful Results?
Fillers can make all the difference in your appearance by helping to rejuvenate your skin and turn back the hands of time — and we can say that we’ve seen this difference first-hand. At Greer Plastic Surgery, we’re proud to provide our clients with filler treatments that help them look and feel their absolute best.

From my first visit to consecutive, the staff has always been kind, efficient and thorough with all my questions. Most importantly, honest. Something I felt fell short in previous practices I had visited regarding what I wanted, opposed to what I really needed and would benefit from. Dr. Greer is very personable and down to earth. I am so happy to have been referred to Dr. Greer's practice.
