Dermal Fillers

As time passes our skin shows the natural, inevitable signs of aging – wrinkles and sagging. The fat compartments of our face also lose volume and deflate resulting in an aged facial shape and contour.

But you can counteract those effects with several non-surgical cosmetic procedures available at our cosmetic surgery practice, including injectable fillers such as Restylane, Perlane, Juvéderm, Radiesse and Sculptra to contour and smooth wrinkles, lines and hollow areas in the face and to augment the lips or cheeks for a younger, fuller appearance. The key is to be subtle. “Over-inflation is never natural.” Many times, these agents can be used in conjunction with surgical procedures or BOTOX in Beverly Hills to enhance their effects in shaping the face.

Dermal Fillers and Other Procedures

In addition to offering facial injectables, Dr. Ghavami’s practice also specializes in advanced surgical procedures to rejuvenate one’s facial appearance. Dr. Ghavami is recognized as a leading Los Angeles face lift and rhinoplasty surgeon.

Choosing the Right Filler for You

When considering facial injectables, it’s important to understand the difference between biologic and synthetic fillers—both of which are available at our practice to meet a variety of aesthetic goals.

Biologic fillers, such as fat grafting or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), are derived from your own body. These natural materials promote tissue regeneration and collagen production, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation with minimal risk of allergic reaction. Biologics can improve skin texture, volume, and tone in a gradual, natural way.

Synthetic fillers, like Juvéderm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra, are lab-formulated substances designed to provide immediate volume and structure. These products are highly effective for smoothing wrinkles, enhancing facial contours, and restoring volume loss, often with little to no downtime.

Dr. Ghavami carefully evaluates each patient’s unique anatomy and goals to determine the ideal combination of biologic or synthetic treatments—or both. In many cases, blending these approaches can deliver the most natural and long-lasting results.

Juvederm® Family

Juvederm Ultra

Juvederm Ultra is a soft hyaluronic acid filler designed to smooth moderate wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial lines. Because of its pliability and hydration properties, it blends easily into the skin for natural, subtle enhancement and is often used in lip augmentation or in areas needing lighter correction.

Juvederm Ultra Plus

Juvederm Ultra Plus is a more robust formulation of hyaluronic acid filler, ideal for deeper lines and folds. It provides greater volume than Ultra, making it suitable for patients looking for more dramatic correction in areas like marionette lines or deeper nasolabial folds, while still maintaining a natural, soft result.

Juvederm Voluma XC

Voluma XC is crafted to restore volume in the cheeks and mid-face. It has thicker viscosity, giving lift and projection to counteract age‑related volume loss, especially in the cheekbones. Results are long-lasting, often up to two years, yielding a youthful contour without overfill.

Juvederm Vollure XC

Vollure XC is formulated for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Its balance between strength and softness allows it to smooth lines around the nose and mouth with results that are subtle yet durable, often lasting 12 to 18 months depending on area treated and patient metabolism.

Juvederm Volbella XC

Volbella XC is designed for delicate areas, such as lips and the perioral region. This filler is great when you want a refined, natural look—adding volume and definition to lips or smoothing vertical lip lines—without making them look overly “done.”

Juvederm Volux XC

Volux XC is one of the more robust fillers in the Juvederm lineup, optimized for jawline augmentation and chin contouring. It provides strong structural support and projection; ideal for enhancing definition in lower face contours while still achieving a smooth, natural transition.

Restylane® Family

Restylane-L

Restylane‑L is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler intended for smoothing moderate facial folds and for lip enhancement. Its “‑L” stands for lidocaine—so the product comes pre‑mixed with a local anesthetic for added comfort during injections.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft is a firmer HA filler suited for deeper restoration, such as cheeks and hands. It gives lift and volume where you need more structure, helping to correct mid‑face hollowing while still maintaining a soft, natural finish.

Restylane Refyne

Restylane Refyne is designed to address fine lines by offering flexibility and support. Refyne is especially useful for nasolabial folds and smile lines—it’s engineered to move with your facial expressions so results look more natural and less static.

Restylane Defyne

Restylane Defyne delivers even more lift and support than Refyne. It is designed to correct deeper folds and wrinkles, offering a balance of contouring strength with elasticity, letting you smile, laugh and move without visible distortion of filler.

Restylane Kysse

Restylane Kysse is formulated specifically for lip enhancement and has been engineered for improved softness, natural movement, and long‑lasting color retention. It gives subtle volume to the lips and can also help with lip border definition.

Restylane Contour

Restylane Contour is intended for three‑dimensional shaping—especially in the cheeks. Its structure offers lift and projection, helping to restore youthful cheekbone volume and improve overall facial balance.

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk is designed for the most delicate areas: fine lip lines and subtle lip enhancements. It has a smoother, finer particle size, which allows very precise, soft filler placement for subtle definition and texture improvement.

Merz Aesthetics

Alloclae

Alloclae is a next-generation dermal filler by Merz Aesthetics, designed for long-lasting facial volumization and contour enhancement. Engineered with advanced HA cross-linking technology, Alloclae offers structural integrity with a soft, natural feel—ideal for sculpting areas like the cheeks, chin, and jawline. Its smooth consistency allows for precise shaping while minimizing swelling and downtime, making it a powerful option for those seeking definition without overcorrection.
