Whether you’re looking to plump thin lips, soften deep creases, or restore youthful facial contours, dermal fillers provide safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Soft tissue fillers, also called injectable fillers, are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to:
-
Restore lost facial volume
-
Smooth wrinkles and folds
-
Enhance lip fullness
-
Improve scars and depressions
The most popular option is hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain hydration and structure.
At Thomassen Plastic Surgery, we use a wide range of fillers to tailor treatments for your needs.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
HA fillers are versatile and come in varying consistencies:
-
Thicker fillers (e.g., Juvederm Voluma) provide long-lasting structure for the cheeks and jawline (up to 2 years).
-
Thinner fillers (e.g., Restylane, Velobello) are ideal for delicate areas like the lips and under-eyes, lasting 6–12 months.
Common Treatments with Fillers
-
Lip augmentation in Fort Lauderdale – add volume, improve symmetry, and smooth vertical lip lines
-
Nasolabial fold correction – soften “smile lines” from the nose to mouth
-
Marionette lines – improve lines running from the corners of the mouth downward
-
Tear trough fillers – reduce hollowness and dark circles under the eyes
-
Cheek enhancement – restore youthful contour in the midface

Scar improvement – elevate recessed scars for smoother skin
Other Types of Dermal Fillers
While HA fillers are the most common, other options may be recommended based on your goals:
-
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) – Ideal for deep folds and cheek contouring, stimulates collagen production.
-
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) – Semi-permanent filler for medium-to-deep wrinkles.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid (Sculptra) – Stimulates collagen production gradually for long-lasting facial volume restoration.
