Dermal fillers are one of the most popular and effective ways to refresh and enhance your appearance without surgery. These versatile injectables—often made with hyaluronic acid—help restore lost volume, smooth lines, and define features for a youthful, natural-looking result. With so many options available, it’s important to choose a trusted provider who can help you achieve your aesthetic goals safely and beautifully. At Parkins Plastic Surgery, serving the Madison and Milwaukee areas, we believe that an informed approach leads to the best results. Here are three key things to keep in mind before getting dermal fillers.
Choose the Right Provider
Your face deserves the best care, which is why selecting a qualified injector is essential. Experience, training, and expertise make all the difference when it comes to achieving natural and flattering results. The ideal provider is a board-certified physician or a medical professional, such as a Registered Nurse, working under their supervision. They should have specialized training in facial aesthetics and extensive experience with dermal fillers. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! A reputable injector will gladly discuss their credentials, treatment approach, and experience to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your decision.
Know Your Filler Options
Not all fillers are the same! Different formulas are designed for specific areas and effects, whether it’s adding subtle plumpness to your lips, enhancing cheek contours, or smoothing deep creases. Brands like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and RHA® offer a variety of formulations tailored to different needs. A skilled injector will recommend the best option for you based on your facial structure, goals, and desired results. When in doubt, ask your provider about the type of filler being used and how it will enhance your look.
Understand the Process and Results
Getting fillers is an exciting experience and knowing what to expect can help you enjoy the process even more! While results are immediate, you may experience mild swelling or redness that resolves within a few days, revealing your final look. It’s important to trust the process—initial swelling may make the area appear fuller than expected, but this will settle for a beautifully natural result. If you have questions about how fillers can enhance your features, your provider is there to guide you every step of the way.
