What is Filler?
Fillers are nonsurgical cosmetic injections that have been used for many years. Fillers fill in and plump up wrinkle lines or depressions such as smile lines, facial creases, scars, down turned or sunken corners of the mouth. Around the mouth, fillers eliminate or soften vertical lip wrinkles and plump the lips for a full, natural look. Fillers plump and lift cheeks, jawlines, chins, temples, and facial hollows. Under eye filler is used to reduce the appearance of under eye bags and plump up tear troughs, which are the dark rings you see under the eyes.
Many patients who want fuller lips fear the overdone look of some celebrities. Lips can easily be made fuller and sexier without anyone knowing, and you’ll look completely natural! If your lips are your primary concern, please click here for more information on lip fillers.
Filler adds volume to the face to give you the definition you never had, or to restore a youthful appearance that has slipped away over the years.
Dr. Kramer’s artistic eye and unique expert technique will keep you looking natural and fantastic with the highest quality and safest fillers.

What Are Fillers Made Of?
Fillers are made from different substances. There are two main categories that fillers are made of:
- Naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid, which are the most common fillers used. For example, Juvederm®, Voluma® and Restalyne®.
- Synthetic fillers, which are lab-made and not found naturally in the skin. Synthetic fillers are much less commonly used and include Sculptra®, Radiesse® and Bellafill® .
There are many different types of fillers, including: JUVÉDERM ® Ultra XC, JUVÉDERM ® Ultra plus XC, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC , Restylane® , Restylane LYFT®, Restylane Silk®, Restylane Refyne®, Restylane Defyne ®, Perlane®, Belotero®, Hylaform®, Radiesse®, Bellafill ®, and Sculptra®.
Since Dr. Kramer’s primary focus is always a very natural result, she prefers the more common naturally occurring Hyaluronic Acid fillers. However, Dr. Kramer will discuss and recommend the best filler for your specific goals and facial features during your initial consultation.

Optimizing Filler Results and Safety
All dermal fillers should be injected in a doctor’s office with sterile instruments. No matter who is doing the injection, if it is done in a home, hotel, spa or resort, it is not a medical setting.
Always know what is being injected into your face and ask your doctor if it was purchased directly from the manufacturer. If the provider does not know this information, then do not proceed with the procedure.
If the cost of the filler is significantly less than the standard cost, there are most likely compromises being made. Don’t risk your face for a bargain or a deal. It’s your face!
A filler treatment is simple and fast — typically between 15-30 minutes. There is little to no filler recovery time and you will see your results immediately.
Before your filler treatment, you may want to stop taking blood thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil®, Aleve®, fish oil, and some vitamins and herbs.
Filler is very affordable and the cost will depend on the filler you choose along with the amount of filler you want.
What to Expect from Your Filler Injections
Dr. Kramer will perform a thorough and honest consultation. She will listen to you and what your goals are and make recommendations based on your desires and exact facial features.

Your Guide to Filler Injections: Uncover the Secrets to Youthful and Radiant Skin
Are fine lines and wrinkles starting to make you feel less confident in your own skin? If so, you’re not alone. Many people are turning to filler injections as a way to achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. But with so many options and techniques available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to filler injections.
Understanding Filler Injections
Filler injections have become increasingly popular over the years as a non-surgical solution to combat the signs of aging. Fillers are injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles, enhance the contours of the face, and restore volume. Fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain moisture and elasticity in the skin. Other types of fillers may use different materials, such as calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid. When injected, fillers plump up the skin, filling in lines and wrinkles, and adding volume to areas that have lost their youthful fullness. They can be used to address a variety of concerns, including nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, hollow under eyes, and thinning lips.
Benefits of Filler Injections
Filler injections offer numerous benefits for those looking to achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Immediate results: Unlike other cosmetic procedures that require weeks or months to see noticeable changes, filler injections provide immediate results. You can walk out of the clinic with smoother skin and enhanced features.
- Non-surgical: Filler injections are a non-surgical option, meaning you can avoid the risks and downtime associated with invasive procedures. There are no incisions or general anesthesia required.
- Customizable: Filler injections can be tailored to your specific needs and desired outcomes. Your provider can adjust the amount and placement of fillers to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your unique features.
- Long-lasting: While the duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used, most fillers provide long-lasting effects. Some fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years or more before touch-up treatments are needed. There may be some minor swelling or bruising, but it generally subsides within a few days.
- 0 recovery time: In most cases after filler treatment, you can resume your daily activities right away.
Choosing the Right Filler For Your Needs
With so many filler options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one for your needs. Dr Kramer will discuss options with you during your free consultation along with any potential risks and side effects that can occur.
Here are some factors to consider when selecting a filler:
- Area of treatment: Different fillers are formulated to target specific areas of the face. For example, thinner fillers may be better suited for fine lines and delicate areas, while thicker fillers are more appropriate for deep wrinkles or volumizing the cheeks.
- Desired outcome: Think about the specific changes you want to achieve. Do you want to enhance your lips, reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds, or restore volume to the cheeks? Discuss your goals with your provider to ensure they recommend a filler that aligns with your desired outcome.
- Duration of results: Some fillers provide longer-lasting results than others. Consider how often you’re willing to undergo touch-up treatments to maintain the effects. If you prefer a low-maintenance option, a longer-lasting filler may be more suitable.
- Allergies and sensitivities: If you have any known allergies or sensitivities, let Dr. Kramer know. She can recommend fillers that are less likely to cause an adverse reaction. By considering these factors and consulting with an experienced provider, you can make an informed decision about the right filler for your needs.
The Filler Injection Process
Here’s what you can expect before, during, and after your treatment:
- Before the treatment: Before your filler injection, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Kramer to discuss your goals and expectations. She will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate filler for your needs. You may be advised to avoid certain medications or supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising. On the day of your appointment, she may apply a topical anesthetic or administer a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. This helps minimize any discomfort during the injection process.
- During the treatment: Once the treatment area is numb, Dr. Kramer will carefully inject the filler into the targeted areas of your face. She will use a fine needle or cannula to ensure precise placement and minimize any potential bruising or swelling. The number of injections and the amount of filler used will depend on your specific concerns and desired outcome. Dr. Kramer may massage your treated areas to ensure the even distribution of the filler.
- After the treatment: After receiving filler injections, you may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites. These usually disappear within a few days. Dr. Kramer will provide post-treatment instructions about what to watch for and what to avoid post-treatment as necessary. It’s important to follow these instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications.
Maintaining and Prolonging the Results of Filler Injections
After investing time and money into filler injections, you’ll want to make sure the results last as long as possible. While the duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used, here are some tips to help maintain and prolong the effects:
- Protect your skin: Sun damage can accelerate the breakdown of fillers. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30, seeking shade, and wearing a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.
- Adopt a skincare routine: A good skincare routine can help keep your skin healthy and prolong the effects of fillers. Cleanse, moisturize, and use products with ingredients that promote collagen production, such as retinol or vitamin C.
- Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to premature aging and negatively impact the longevity of fillers. Quitting smoking and moderating alcohol intake can help maintain the results.
- Stay hydrated: Hydration is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Drink plenty of water and use a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated from within.
- Consider touch-up treatments: Depending on the type of filler used, touch-up treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired results. Consult with Dr. Kramer to determine the optimal timing for touch-ups. By following these tips and adopting a healthy lifestyle, you can extend the benefits of filler injections and keep your skin looking youthful and radiant for longer.
Remember, choosing a reputable provider is crucial for safe and effective treatment. Take the time to research and consult with experienced professionals who can guide you through the process.
