Fillers in Athens, GA
As we age, our facial features naturally lose volume, and wrinkles begin to form due to the effects of gravity, time, and facial expressions. For many individuals, this results in areas of the face looking less youthful, such as hollowed cheeks, thin lips, and sagging skin around the mouth. Fillers provide an effective solution for restoring lost volume and enhancing facial contours, giving the face a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

What Are Fillers?
Fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost facial volume and smooth out wrinkles. They are primarily made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and is known for its ability to hold moisture. By injecting fillers into targeted areas, such as the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds (smile lines), fillers help to plump and lift the skin, softening wrinkles and restoring facial balance.
What Are the Benefits of Fillers?
Fillers provide a wide range of benefits, including:
- Restored Volume: Fillers effectively plump areas affected by volume loss, enhancing the contours of your face.
- Smooth Wrinkles: Fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles, especially around the mouth, cheeks, and under the eyes.
- Natural-Looking Results: Achieve subtle and natural enhancements that enhance your facial features in a way that complements your unique anatomy.
- Quick Procedure: Fillers can be injected in a relatively short amount of time, with most treatments taking around one hour.
- Minimal Downtime: You can return to your daily activities right away with little to no recovery time needed.
What to Expect When Receiving Filler Treatment?
After a consultation with Dr. Venditto, she will provide a customized treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals. The treatment typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation and Planning: Dr. Venditto will discuss your concerns and design a treatment plan based on your needs, ensuring your desired outcome.
- Injection Sites: Fillers are strategically injected into specific areas of the face to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles.
- Post-Treatment Care: You will receive aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results, including advice on activities to avoid for the first few days after the procedure.
Dr. Venditto and her team are dedicated to your comfort and safety throughout the process, ensuring you achieve natural-looking results that enhance your facial aesthetics.
What Are Possible Risks and Complications of Fillers?
As with any medical procedure, filler injections include some risks. For fillers, risks include temporary redness, bruising, and swelling. Allergic reactions may also happen in certain cases, causing a skin rash and itching. Complications are rare but can be serious, including blindness or skin necrosis. This is why it is important to visit a board-certified plastic surgeon for your injections. Though it is rare, if a patient is dissatisfied with her filler results, there is a reversal agent that can be used.
When Will I See Results from Fillers?
The results of dermal filler treatments are typically visible immediately after the injections. Unlike other treatments, there is little to no waiting period to see the effects, and you’ll walk away with a more youthful appearance right away. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, at which point you may need a touch-up treatment.

Can You Combine Fillers with Botox®?
Many people seeking facial rejuvenation want to address both lost volume and the appearance of wrinkles. Dermal fillers restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, and under the eyes, while Botox® can target the wrinkles caused by muscle movement. Combining the two treatments enhances your results and provides a more youthful, well-rounded appearance. Visit our Botox® page for more information.
