For 1 week before: avoid blood-thinning supplements (vitamin E, fish oil, gingko, garlic supplements) and over-the-counter NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, aspirin) unless medically necessary.

Dermal Fillers (also known as Hyaluronic acid fillers, HA fillers) is one of several options in this treatment category. The main differences vs. alternatives are formulation, onset time, duration, and pricing. Your San Diego provider can recommend the best fit for your specific goals during consultation.

Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6–18 months depending on the product and area treated. Cheek fillers tend to last longer than fillers in highly mobile areas. Your body gradually metabolizes the gel over time.

Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you're unhappy with the result or experience a complication. This reversibility is a major reason HA fillers are the most common choice.

It depends on your goals. Mild cheek enhancement might be 1–2 syringes; a more dramatic mid-face lift can be 3–4. Jawline definition typically uses 2–4 syringes. Most providers recommend starting conservatively and adding more after seeing how your face settles.

Most fillers contain lidocaine, so discomfort is mild. Numbing cream is applied first, and providers often pause to let the area numb before continuing. Expect pressure and a brief sting at each injection point.

Modern, expertly placed filler should look natural, a slightly more refreshed, lifted, or contoured version of you, not a different face. Overfilled looks come from too much product, too quickly, or improper placement. A skilled injector dosing conservatively over time is the best protection.

Botox relaxes muscles to soften wrinkles caused by movement (upper face). Fillers add structural volume to areas that have lost it (cheeks, jawline, smile lines, lips). Many people use both (Botox for the forehead and crow's feet, filler for the cheeks and lower face).
