Dermal Fillers in Houston, TX

Our highly skilled team of board-certified physicians at Houston’s Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics understands that every person coming into the office deserves a personalized, one-of-a-kind treatment plan. Everyone’s facial features are distinct and will change with time and the natural aging process. The first signs of aging are the appearance of fine lines and deeper creases, sometimes running across the forehead, around the eyes, the sides of the nose, and the along the corners of the mouth. Volume loss from losing fat and bone is to blame for some of these changes that may make you appear tired and unhappy. Injectable fillers are one of the easiest methods for easing these lines and restoring smooth, youthful looking facial features and skin without surgery.

We offer a large variety of services, including the full range of soft tissue fillers designed to lift and smooth the skin under the eyes, cheeks, lips, jawline, temples and chin. Dermal fillers can create a subtle yet significant improvement in your overall appearance, restoring a refreshed, youthful look. Our Houston, Memorial and Katy based physicians are expert injectors and will offer you their honest opinion and recommendations.

JUVÉDERM® Ultra and Ultra Plus

The Juvéderm family of injectable are the world’s leading dermal fillers. Made from cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Juvéderm’s unique formulation enhances the skin’s structure by adding volume and moisture. As the HA pulls in moisture from surrounding tissues, the skin is plumped, lifted, and the targeted wrinkles become smooth. Benefits of a Juvéderm session are immediate and can last for nine to 12 months, sometimes longer. Premixed with lidocaine (a topical anesthetic), Juvéderm injections are comfortable. Juvéderm comes in a variety of unique formulas, such as Juvéderm Ultra and Juvéderm Ultra Plus, this family of fillers can be right for many needs.

  • Deeper facial creases
  • Nasolabial Folds (from the nose to the corners of the mouth)
  • Marionette Lines (from the mouth to the chin)
  • Age-related volume loss across cheeks and jawline

Dermal Filler FAQ:

  • What are dermal fillers?
    Dermal fillers are a unique type of injectable treatment. Injected directly into the target area, fillers have the power to plump tissues, smooth fine lines, lift the skin, and replace age-related volume loss. Often providing instant results, fillers can last from nine months to over two years. For optimal facial rejuvenation, dermal fillers can be combined with other noninvasive techniques, such as Botox Cosmetic.
  • What type of wrinkles do dermal fillers treat?
    Fillers plump tissues and smooth fine lines by adding moisture to the skin and encouraging the body’s production of collagen. For this reason, fillers are the right choice for static wrinkles, or those caused by decreasing tissue elasticity and the loss of natural fatty tissue.
  • Where do Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi perform their dermal filler treatments?
    Each dermal filler session is performed in one of the private treatment rooms at Body by Ravi Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics’ Houston office.
  • When can I return to work after my dermal filler session?
    While the treatment area may remain mildly red and tender for the first day or so, patients are normally feeling fine to return to work or school immediately. Prior to the dermal filler session, Dr. Ravi and Dr. Gopathi will carefully explain what to expect from the recovery process.
  • What are the side-effects of dermal fillers?
    Dermal fillers are a safe and dependable way to temporarily smooth mild to severe facial lines or to restore age-related volume loss. While there is little serious risk with fillers, side-effects can include pinpoint bleeding, tenderness, bruising, and redness. These generally resolve after a day or two. More serious complications, including infection, scarring, and allergic reaction are extremely rare.
