Filler in Nashville

You’ll usually see immediate results after getting your filler in Nashville, as they start to add volume and smooth out wrinkles right away. However, there might be some swelling or redness initially, which can affect the final look. Most of this swelling will subside within a few days, and you’ll see the full, final results typically within 1 to 2 weeks. This allows the filler to settle and any residual swelling to go down, giving you a clear view of the enhanced areas.

Because our goal is to create subtle, natural-looking results for our patients, we are happy to discuss a treatment plan that involves gradually building up your results over a series of appointments. This allows us to start conservatively, and add filler to the face or lips in smaller amounts until you reach the end result you’ve envisioned.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are not permanent and typically last between 6 to 18 months. They offer a non-surgical solution to enhance facial contours and address signs of aging with minimal downtime and recovery.

A faster metabolism or unhealthy habits like smoking and excessive sun exposure may lead to quicker breakdown of the filler. Fillers in high-movement areas, like the lips, may not last as long as those in less dynamic regions, and the specific type of filler used can also impact its duration.

Regular touch-ups can help sustain your results and keep your appearance looking vibrant.

Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient in the dermal fillers we use. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance that naturally occurs in the body and helps retain moisture in your skin.

As the filler integrates naturally with your skin, it provides a subtle, youthful enhancement. Over time, HA in the skin not only helps maintain hydration but also stimulates the production of collagen, a key protein that supports skin structure and elasticity.

That said, not all fillers have a base of HA. Some injectables like Radiesse and Sculptra are considered “biostimulators”—meaning their formula does not fill an area, but rather, encourage new collagen production in the area. These techniques can lead to longer-lasting results than HA, which are naturally metabolized by the body over time.

After receiving dermal fillers, it is essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to achieve optimal results and minimize potential complications. After getting your filler in Nashville, we typically recommend:

• For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas to prevent disrupting the filler.
• Maintain an elevated head position and avoid lying flat to help reduce swelling.
• Refrain from engaging in strenuous activities or exposing your face to excessive heat, such as hot baths or saunas, during this period.
• Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications, which can increase the risk of bruising.

In addition, you’ll want to follow any personalized aftercare advice provided by your healthcare provider and monitor for common side effects like swelling or bruising. Following these guidelines will help ensure that you achieve the best possible outcomes from your dermal filler treatment.

You can usually start wearing makeup right after getting filler in Nashville, but it’s a good idea to wait until any swelling or redness has calmed down, which is usually about 24 to 48 hours. When you do start to apply makeup, go for gentle products and try to avoid putting it directly on the treated areas. Just follow any aftercare tips your provider gives you to ensure everything heals well.
