Facial Fillers for Smile Rejuvenation As we age, the natural signs of time can start to show on our faces, including around the mouth area. Wrinkles, loss of volume, and sagging skin all contribute to a tired, aged appearance, even when we don't feel that way on the inside. Fortunately, non-surgical smile enhancement helps us to restore a youthful, vibrant smile.Minimally invasive facial fillers have become an increasingly popular non-surgical smile enhancement that improves facial aesthetics. They are a great option for those looking for perioral rejuvenation. Injected beneath the skin, these minimally invasive facial fillers plump up volume loss, smooth wrinkles, and lift sagging tissues. Facial fillers create a revitalized, youthful smile. The Rise in Popularity of Facial Fillers for Smile RejuvenationFacial fillers have been used for decades to enhance facial aesthetics, but their application for smile rejuvenation has become more and more popular in recent years. Non-surgical cosmetic treatments are often preferred, so the demand for injectable fillers to address concerns around the mouth have increased. Our patients prefer the convenience and gorgeous results of facial fillers for smile rejuvenation. This is because it's a quick and relatively painless procedure that provides beautiful results without the need for surgery or a long recovery. Hyaluronic acid fillers are a particularly popular choice for perioral rejuvenation. These injectable gels are made from a biodegradable, naturally occurring molecule found in the skin. They work because they restore volume and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Because hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body, it absorbs into the body and metabolizes in anywhere from six to 18 months. It is important to note that facial fillers are very different from facial relaxers such as Botox. They are both used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, but are very different treatments suitable for different areas. Generally, facial fillers are used to plump up the areas around the mouth. However, Botox is not a filler, it relaxes muscles, and is typically used around the eyes.

Benefits of Facial Fillers for Smile RejuvenationFacial fillers offer a range of benefits for those seeking to refresh and revitalize their smile. Restore Volume LossAs we age, the natural fat pads in our faces diminish, which leads to a sunken or shrinking appearance. Facial fillers are strategically injected to plump up volume in areas such as the corners of the mouth, marionette lines, and chin. This creates a more youthful, full, lifted appearance. Smooth Wrinkles and Fine LinesInjectable fillers are also used to soften the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, including vertical lip lines, smoker's lines, and radial lip lines. By filling in these creases, the skin appears smoother, fuller, and more even. Enhance Lip DefinitionFacial fillers may be used to subtly enhance the definition and shape of the lips. They create a more balanced and proportionate smile. This is particularly beneficial for those with thin or uneven lips. Improve Facial SymmetryUneven features or asymmetries around the mouth are addressed with the strategic placement of facial fillers. This creates a more harmonious and symmetrical appearance. Boost ConfidenceWhen we help our patients to address the visible signs of aging around the mouth, facial fillers help boost their confidence, and to restore a more vibrant look in their faces. Our patients often report feeling more comfortable and confident smiling and socializing after their treatment. The Procedure for Facial Filler Smile RejuvenationFacial filler treatments for smile rejuvenation are performed by our experienced and qualified oral and maxillofacial surgeons. The procedure typically takes less than an hour. First, we perform an initial consultation, where we examine our patient's facial features and discuss their aesthetic goals. We then develop a detailed, customized treatment plan with the appropriate type and amount of facial filler. Second, to minimize discomfort, the treatment area may be numbed with a topical anesthetic cream or a local injection. Third, we carefully inject the hyaluronic acid filler into the targeted areas around the mouth using a fine needle. We meticulously sculpt and shape the filler to achieve the desired results. Lastly, we provide patients with detailed aftercare instructions, and schedule follow up appointments. Patients may experience some minor swelling, bruising, or redness after the procedure, but these side effects are typically mild and resolve within a few days. The Longevity of Facial Filler ResultsThe longevity of facial filler for smile rejuvenation results varies. It depends on the individual, the type of filler used, and the areas treated. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last between six to 18 months before the body naturally absorbs and metabolizes the product. However, some patients have results that last longer or shorter, but this depends on their unique facial anatomy and metabolism. To maintain the benefits of facial fillers, our patients typically return for follow up treatments every six to 12 months. This ensures a consistent, natural looking appearance, and these consistent treatments prevent the gradual return of wrinkles, volume loss, and other signs of aging around the mouth.
