Afraid of Being Overfilled?

If someone can tell that you’ve had Botox or fillers, you’ve had too much! We firmly believe that filler should be subtle and never overdone. The most common fear patients have about having filler is that they’ll look unnatural. If you’re afraid of being overfilled, keep reading.

It’s hard to picture how much 5cc’s (cubic centimeters) of filler really is. One milliliter is equal to one cc. The typical filler syringe has 1.0 cc’s of filler. To put it in perspective, there are 5 cc’s in a teaspoon. Divide that into five equal parts, you get 1 cc or 0.2 tsp. Basically, one syringe of filler contains only 1/5 teaspoon of filler.

That’s not a lot when compared to your face:

This makes fillers really great for fine wrinkles and lines. The latest injectable techniques are long lasting and designed for subtlety. Plus, they’re perfectly safe. Most filler, like Belatero and Juvederm, use hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin, to give skin a plump, hydrated look. After one round of treatments with the doctor, you’ll see results that add volume and decrease wrinkles.

We offer numerous fillers to get the natural look you’re looking for. Our newest filler, Bellafill, combines a natural look with long-lasting results. Contact us today to schedule a consultation!
