Injectables are a great, non-surgical solution for facial rejuvenation resulting in fuller lips, fewer wrinkles, youthful cheeks and bright eyes.
Dermal fillers fill wrinkles and restore volume, thereby smoothing away any signs of aging. Facial rejuvenation with injectables is the perfect option for those who want to look younger without going under the knife. With minimal downtime and no recovery, it’s a safe, convenient and effective way to improve your appearance.

What does Facial Rejuvenation Mean?

As you age (starting around 30 in many women), your skin starts to show signs of damage and loss of collagen, elastin and supporting fat pads that naturally hold your skin “in place”.
A rejuvenation treatment is one that aims to restore your natural youthful and vibrant appearance by reducing skin imperfections, wrinkles, acne scars, sagging skin, sunken cheeks and temples. There are various modalities.
Dermal Fillers or “injectables” are used to restore volume. Other modalities such as laser treatments, microneedling, dermabrasion, chemical peels and neurotoxins utilize various medical devices or products as treatment options for skin conditions such as uneven skin tone, skin laxity and expression lines. More invasive surgical rejuvenation treatments include eye lifts, face lifts, chin implants and cheek implants which may require general anesthesia are other options.

What are injectable treatments and dermal fillers?

Injectable treatments and dermal fillers are a variety of FDA approved products used by cosmetic surgeons. The industry is filled with many companies and many products, but in general, they are categorized by the substance they are made from – such as hyaluronic acid, CaHA, PMMA or other substances.
Dermal Fillers work by injecting these special serums into the skin or under the skin to smooth wrinkles and restore volume, thereby helping to turn back signs of aging. These skin rejuvenation treatments usually take about 30 minutes and recovery time is minimal.
Fillers are a commonplace in offices and med spas, over 3 million people a year turn to dermal filler injections to maintain or enhance their healthy appearance. Say good bye fine lines, frown lines, sagging jowls, sunken cheeks!
Although it is most common to use filler injections on the mid-to-lower face, there are some dermal fillers that can be used beneath the eyes and other areas of the face to provide rejuvenation.
Additionally, Botox and other neuro-modulators like Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin can temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and forehead.

What are the types of dermal fillers?

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that exists in your body naturally and helps keep your skin hydrated. With age, your body stops making hyaluronic acid. When injected, it adds volume to the face for a fuller look. HA fillers are generally soft gel-like substances that provide results of up to one year before being reabsorbed by the body’s natural processes. We use selected Galderma and Allergan products specifically designed for each treatment area.

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)

PMMA is a synthetic, biocompatible filler that takes the form of a “microsphere” – an exceptionally small ball that remains beneath your skin permanently to preserve support and suppleness. Additionally, this top-notch filler includes collagen – which naturally exists in our skin and provides structure as well as firmness. PMMA fillers are regularly used for replenishing volume or reducing wrinkles.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)

CaHA fillers are a mineral-based dermal filler which are widely used to refill facial volume and reduce wrinkles. The calcium particles in this filler are incredibly small and bound together with a gel-like substance. Compared to hyaluronic acid fillers, CaHA’s consistency tends to be thicker while offering longterm results of roughly 12 months for many individuals. Additionally, it helps fuel natural collagen production which makes it especially ideal for tackling deep lines & wrinkles!

Facial fat grafting

Fat injections provide a way to naturally and safely add volume to the face by taking fat from one area of your body, purifying it, and injecting it into another. Your own fat is typically harvested with liposuction for optimal results. After processing and preparation, this autologous material can then be injected into areas such as the cheeks, temples or lower eyelids in order to restore lost facial volume.

What areas can be treated by injectable fillers?

Injectable fillers can be used in the following treatment areas:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a liquid face lift?

A liquid face lift, also known as a “non-surgical facelift” is a combination of fillers, neurotoxins, and other injectables that can provide an overall rejuvenation of the face. It typically involves hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane, as well as neurotoxins such as Botox or Dysport. Results can be seen immediately and typically last anywhere from 6-12 months. This treatment offers patients a quick and easy way to restore youthful contours without surgery!

What is the best age for facial fillers?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. Generally, if you’re an adult looking to reduce wrinkles or restore lost volume, then injectable fillers may be the right choice for you. The best age to start considering facial fillers depends on the individual, as some people may experience more pronounced signs of aging earlier on than others.

How long do injectable face fillers last?

The longevity of injectable fillers varies depending on the type and area being treated. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm and Restylane have a lifespan of 6-12 months, while more robust fillers such as PMMA and CaHA can last up to two years. Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport typically last up to four months.
It’s important to note that results may differ from person to person, so it’s best to have a consultation with an experienced specialist who can help you determine which filler(s) will be best suited for your needs.

Many surgeons abandon this lipo technique because it’s so physically demanding.The approach to HD liposuction Dr. Gopal uses requires an extraordinary level of detail and precision. Rather than simply etching lines, every contour and transition is shaped around the patient’s underlying anatomy, a process that can take several hours.Dr. Gopal trained in this technique in Barcelona with one of the world’s leaders in HD liposuction and now teaches it to other physicians. It’s a demanding approach, but that level of precision is what allows for definition that looks natural to the individual.Considering HD liposuction in Tampa?

“Glad I took my time researching.”That line matters.Choosing to have plastic surgery isn’t just about deciding you want a change. It’s about deciding who you trust to understand the result you’re looking for, especially when the goal isn’t simply removing fat, but creating a shape that still looks natural to you.For our lovely patient, that meant a tighter stomach and waist, feeling more comfortable in fitted clothing, and most importantly, getting the result she wanted “without looking fake.”That’s the goal of thoughtful body contouring: not to make you look like someone else, but to create a result that works with your body and your goals.Dr. Gopal Grandhige specializes in liposuction and body contouring in Tampa, creating treatment plans around each patient’s anatomy, proportions, and goals.Considering liposuction?

More definition doesn’t automatically mean a better liposuction result.The goal of body contouring is to create definition that makes sense for your anatomy, not to create the most sculpted abdomen possible simply because we can.Low-, medium-, and high-definition liposuction can create very different looks, from subtle contouring to a more athletic or highly sculpted appearance. The right level depends on your existing muscle definition, proportions, surrounding areas of the body, and the result you want to achieve.For Dr. Gopal Grandhige, a board-certified surgeon specializing in body contouring and high-definition liposuction in Tampa, the goal is balance: the abdomen, chest, back, arms and shoulders should look like they belong to the same body.The result should feel cohesive, proportional, and natural to your anatomy.Considering liposuction? DM us or schedule a consultation at Formation to discuss the level of definition that makes sense for your body and your goals (link in bio).

These lipo terms aren’t interchangeable.Traditional liposuction, Lipo 360, and high-definition liposuction can all address unwanted fat, but the approach depends on what you’re actually trying to change.Maybe it’s one stubborn area that hasn’t responded to diet and exercise. Maybe the goal is creating better proportion throughout the entire midsection. Or maybe you’re already lean and looking for more visible, athletic definition.Those are different goals, and they call for different treatment plans.Dr. Gopal Grandhige is a board-certified surgeon specializing in body contouring and high-definition liposuction in Tampa. Each treatment plan starts with your anatomy, your current body composition, and the result you want to achieve.Considering liposuction? DM us or schedule a consultation at Formation to discuss your goals and determine which approach makes the most sense for you.
