What types of facial fillers does Dr. Hamrah offer his patients?

Dr. Hamrah provides his patients with the latest facial filler options. The appropriate facial filler for you will be selected during your consultation with Dr. Hamrah, when you discuss your cosmetic goals. Dr. Hamrah is an expert in this field an has authored chapters in peer reviewed journals.

The four types of facial fillers offered at NOVA SurgiCare are:

• Restylane – A common lip implant solution, Restylane can also eliminate acne scars and fine facial wrinkles
• Juvéderm – An FDA approved facial filler with results that can last up to a year, Juvéderm addresses undesirable mild to moderate facial contours, such as premature wrinkling and residual acne scars
• Radiesse – A two year solution that will rejuvenate skin volume and stimulate new tissue growth. Because it stays longer than other facial fillers in the skin it has gained more and more popularity among physicians as well as patients.
• Elevesse - Is the first FDA-approved HA-based (Hydroxyapatite) dermal filler to include the anesthetic lidocaine, greatly reducing injection pain and increasing patient comfort. Like Radiesse, it typically last for up to two years.

What are the advantages of facial fillers over surgery?

While facial fillers are not a permanent solution, the simple fact that they address unwanted facial cosmetics without surgery raises the appeal to those hesitant about undergoing facial cosmetic surgery. Many consider it as the new "Liquid Facelift" or "Non-surgical Facelift".

Additionally, facial fillers involve less than a half hour at the office, allowing you to return to daily activities immediately, and the majority of patients suffer minimal discomfort.

If you are fearful of being dissatisfied with a permanent result, the advantages of facial fillers may appeal to you.
