Injectable Dermal Fillers in Fredericksburg, VA
What are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Injectable dermal fillers are often utilized to replace diminished facial volume. The face can lose volume for various reasons, but weight loss and age are the leading causes. The process works by injecting the liquid filler under the skin's surface to fill areas lacking volume or shape. Fillers are an excellent, nonsurgical option for Fredericksburg, VA patients looking to smooth sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines to create a younger-looking complexion. They can also be added to other aesthetic procedures to provide the benefits of a facelift without going under the knife, the presence of scars, and the required downtime that follows. Our team proudly offers a variety of dermal fillers to help meet the expectations and desires of each patient, such as the Restylane® collection and the JUVÉDERM® family. To find out which injectable fillers are suitable for you, we invite you to visit Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg where Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki can help you learn more.
How Do Injectable Dermal Fillers Work?
Before your injection procedure, we will meet with you to learn more about your desired results and determine which product will best achieve them. At the time of the actual procedure, a topical numbing cream will be administered as a local anesthetic to make the injections as pain-free as possible. After deciding the amount of filler needed, it will be carefully and evenly injected through a very fine needle. Keeping the desired result in mind, either a portion or an entire syringe could be used during the procedure.
What Are the Benefits of Injectable Dermal Fillers?
For Fredericksburg, VA patients, injectable dermal fillers can help with multiple needs and provide a handful of benefits, including:
- Refreshing and plumping areas that have become hollow or sunken
- Creating facial softness to attain your optimal facial shape
- Smoothing out regions with sagging or fine lines
- Boosting your confidence in your skin and overall appearance
Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
I am so pleased to share my enormous respect and admiration for Dr. Heppe and every one of the staff members at this medical facility. I was there to care for my friend having surgery. Not only was she treated compassionately and professionally during the entire experience, I was surprised that I, too, was given the same courtesy as her care partner. The appointments were on time, thorough, and informative. We were prepared with important information and immediate responses to any potential concerns we raised. When my friend experienced a difficulty, Dr. Heppe went beyond all expectations to assist her promptly and appropriately. We were reassured and comforted to know that every patient is treated "as the center of attention." I highly recommend the services of this extraordinary medical facility. We offer our highest gratitude for the way every one on the staff kindly contributed to make this time so amazing.
Dr. Aflaki and his staff are awesome. From answering all my questions at my consult, to spending extra time with me at my pre-op appt. He was very honest and I ended up changing my procedure. After surgery, I had several healing issues and I was heading out of town for vacation in 2 weeks, anytime I had a concern his staff got me in same day to make sure everything was ok. Everything is healed and looks amazing. I couldn't of picked a better Dr.. His staff was always smiling and friendly on the phone and in office.
Dr. Bautista performed a breast revision in order to decrease persistent neck/back pain and other associated complaints. Dr. Bautista understood that I was interested in gaining my health and strength back by relieving pain. He did not try to convince me to undergo added procedures for “cosmetic effects” during my consult as other surgeons had. I appreciated his understanding and support for my intention. Extremely satisfied with results. The office and nursing staff were very supportive and kind as well.
I’ve got the Fraxel preformed on my face with Kristine and she made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire treatment. Dr. B prescribed me a prescription to prep as well as a numbing cream for the day of. I arrived one hour earlier than my scheduled time to allow the numbing cream sit and settle. Then, I had the Fraxel laser pass over several times and thankfully I had a cooling tube right by me which made each pass, at the more painful setting, much easier to tolerate. I’m still in the recovery phase, but it’s not as bad as a chemical peel. I have slight flaking, and it just look like I’m more flushed than usual. Looking forward to see the results over the next few months and can’t wait to go back for maintenance. Just make sure you follow the pre and post instructions to a T
Fantastic Results - The results after my mommy makeover have exceeded my expectations! Dr Heppe is very skilled and the facility is clean and welcoming.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do injectable fillers cost?
The cost of a dermal filler will vary depending on the type used and the amount used. During your consultation, your injector will create a customized treatment plan that matches your needs and wants. Then, we will be able to give you a cost estimate and discuss any current specials.
How do I know which injectable filler is right for me?
The type of filler used for you will depend on the area being treated and your desired outcome. Depending on whether you want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or want to create plumper lips, we will understand your needs before suggesting the filler or fillers that will deliver the best results. Now that there are so many brands of fillers, it may be challenging to choose which one is ideal for your needs and goals, but we will work to ensure you experience a natural-looking, rejuvenated look.
What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?
A wrinkle relaxer, like BOTOX®, treats lines and wrinkles (mainly on the brow and in the corners of the eyes) by limiting the movement of the underlying muscles. Injectable fillers restore volume to your face to fill in fine lines, wrinkles, and depressions. Injectable fillers can also be used to add more volume to your lips and cheeks and reduce the appearance of aging on the hands.
How long will the results last?
How long your results last will depend on what brand(s) is used and what area was treated. In some patients, results may last as long as one year, whereas others may want another treatment after a few months. Touch-up injections can be performed at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg to sustain your improvements.
What areas of my face can be treated with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can improve signs of aging throughout your face by either smoothing static lines or adding volume. Fillers can be used on parentheses, marionettes, and corner lines near your mouth and nose. Also, they can temporarily restore volume to your cheeks and lips.
