If you’re unsure where to begin, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Phillip Dauwe can offer recommendations and suggestions when you come in for a skin rejuvenation consultation. The specialists at Phillip Dauwe, M.D. Plastic Surgery put together a simple guide so you can learn about your anti-wrinkle treatment options.
About dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular way to restore your youthful appearance. These injections are designed to provide more fullness to different areas of the face, softening wrinkles and enhancing certain contours. While cosmetic injections don’t provide the same dramatic results as plastic surgery, this minimally invasive treatment has its own benefits. Patients don’t require incisions or an extensive recovery period.
Dermal fillers can generally achieve the following:
-
Address under-eye bags
-
Lift and enhance cheeks
-
Plump lips
-
Soften folds near the nose
-
Smooth wrinkles
-
Fill acne scars
How we perform cosmetic injections
Our specialists will perform a skin evaluation to determine which dermal fillers work best for your needs. Once the consultation is over, we can administer the chosen filler at our office in Dallas, TX. If you are concerned about the pain or discomfort, we can apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area. Some products also include an anesthetic in their formula.
It only takes a few minutes for Dr. Dauwe to perform dermal filler injections. Patients with deeper lines and hollow areas may require several injections to achieve the desired outcome. Afterward, we can give you information about recovery. The good news is most people can return to their normal activities soon after their appointment.

How long do dermal fillers last?
