Facial Contouring with Dermal Fillers and Neuromodulators

As we age, natural changes in our skin and facial structure can lead to wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of volume. Fortunately, modern cosmetic treatments offer a way to restore youthful contours without surgery. At Panacea Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, our team of experienced plastic surgeons and aesthetic injectors provides personalized facial contouring treatments using a combination of dermal fillers and neuromodulators — including BOTOX®, JUVÉDERM®, and more. Whether you're looking to smooth wrinkles, enhance your cheekbones, or plump your lips, our team is here to listen to your goals and create a treatment plan tailored just for you.

How do fillers make you look younger?

Dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane®, are designed to add volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness over time. These injectable treatments are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain hydration and plumpness in the skin. Dermal fillers are commonly used to:

• Add volume to the cheeks
• Plump the lips
• Smooth deep lines around the mouth
• Define the jawline

By restoring volume to these areas, dermal fillers can create a more youthful, balanced facial appearance. Additionally, treatments like Sculptra® can stimulate collagen production, helping to gradually enhance facial volume over time.

How do injectable wrinkle relaxers work?

Neuromodulators, including BOTOX and Dysport®, work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic (or expressive) wrinkles — such as frown lines and Crow's feet. These treatments target the underlying muscle activity that leads to the formation of wrinkles, allowing the skin to appear smoother and more relaxed. Neuromodulators are often used to:

• Soften frown lines
• Smooth Crow's feet
• Minimize forehead wrinkles
• Prevent new wrinkles from forming

This wrinkle-smoothing treatment is ideal for patients looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines without undergoing invasive surgery.

Can you get BOTOX and fillers at the same time?

Yes, combining wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers can provide more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements, injectable fillers treat areas of volume loss, making the combination a highly effective option for achieving a more complete and natural-looking transformation. By using fillers and wrinkle relaxers, our experienced injectors can help to:

• Smooth wrinkles
• Restore facial volume
• Enhance overall facial contours
• Achieve a balanced, natural look

Many patients find that using neuromodulators and fillers together also offers longer-lasting results compared with using either treatment on its own.

How long do the results of facial contouring with injections last?

One of the most exciting benefits of nonsurgical facial contouring with fillers and wrinkle relaxers is that the results can be enjoyed for several months or even years, depending on the treatment. Some general timelines for the results of cosmetic injections include:

• BOTOX and Dysport results typically last about 3 – 4 months
• JUVÉDERM and Restylane results can last up to 6 – 18 months
• Sculptra results often last up to two years

During your consultation for facial balancing with fillers and wrinkle relaxers, our knowledgeable team will work with you to develop a treatment plan and schedule that helps keep you looking fresh, youthful, and confident for as long as possible.
