Best wrinkle filler

I.P. The "best filler" will depend on many factors including: 1. The length of time the filler will last. 2. The area on the face that needs to be filled. 3. Your skin type, thick or thin, if you have sun damage or acne scarring. 4. The amount of "fill" that is required (fine wrinkles,... more

Often times, patients question which ancillary procedure is best for improving facial wrinkles/lines. The answer depends on the nature of the facial wrinkle that is in question. Broadly speaking, facial lines either are static or dynamic. Static lines would include those that are present in complete rest, i... more

Overall, the most versatile, long lasting, and effective filler currently is Juvederm. I like it because it comes in two concentrations, Ultra and Ultra Plus, that can be used for finer or deeper lines. After injection, this product has excellent longevity (upwards of 6 months), is soft and supple, and... more

Smiling is the best non-invasive wrinkle filler. Of the temporary fillers mentioned by others (Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse, etc.), I believe that a patient's own fat is the best "wrinkle filler." Fat transfer returns volume to the face, and has the advantage of being a permanent filler. The... more

I am a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in the Los Angeles area for 20 years. I have a vast experience with dermal fillers. For "marionette lines" (medically-termed labio-mental rhytides), I prefer Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane. These fillers give substantial and lasting support to the... more

I prefer the more “forgiving” non-permanent fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid, or HA. Examples of HA fillers include Juvederm and Restlyane. They fill in the deep furrows and wrinkles of the face very nicely and are not permanent, so if you don’t like the look that you have gotten with... more

 A number of 'soft tissue fillers' are available for temporarily improving facial areas that have lost volume or have developed deep lines and creases. Probably the most popular fillers currently are hyaluronic acid products like Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm Plus or Juvederm Ultra Plus, which can... more

When we graduated medical school, our professors told us "primum non nocere", first don't harm people.  I interpret this as meaning that the treatments we give our patients should be safe. I am proud now that the reports of granulomas with Artecoll and Radiance are surfacing that not one single... more

In my experience, hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane (Perlane) have given consistent results lasting 8-12 months. Radiesse, which is calcium-based, also gives long-lasting results in deeper lines.  All of these are fairly thick fillers.  I am starting to use more of the lasting... more

Although the market is flooded with facial fillers, my plastic surgery practice in Santa Monica strictly limits facial filler use to Juvederm for the lips and Radiesse for the mid face and lower face, including the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Meticulous care is crucial to injecting into the deep... more
