The short answer

Fillers places injectable gel in selected facial areas to restore volume or soften specific contours. It may suit adults seeking a nonsurgical volume adjustment after an individual facial assessment. Dr. John Samas discusses candidacy, limits and recovery during a Northglenn consultation.

Overview

What are Fillers?

Dermal fillers are a versatile, non-surgical treatment designed to enhance facial contours, smooth wrinkles, and restore volume lost with age. These injectable treatments can address a variety of concerns, including deep lines, hollow cheeks, thinning lips, and under-eye hollows, with results that are both natural-looking and immediate.

Key Benefits

What do Fillers do?

Fillers are designed to restore youthfulness and balance to your facial features without going under the knife. They help add volume to areas like the lips, cheeks, and jawline, smooth out wrinkles, improve under-eye hollowness, and refine facial contours. The results are natural, instantly visible, and customizable to your aesthetic goals. Think refreshed, lifted, and subtly enhanced, not “overdone.”

Recovery

What is recovery like?

Recovery after fillers is surprisingly easy. You might experience minor swelling, redness, or slight bruising for a couple of days, but most clients return to routine activities immediately. Results are visible right away, with full settling over about one week. Avoid heavy workouts, extreme heat, and alcohol for the first 24 to 48 hours for the cleanest, most flawless finish. Follow the after-care guidelines and you're stepping out glowing, not swollen.

  • Mild swelling or bruising for 1 to 3 days
  • Results show immediately, refine over 1 week
  • Avoid heavy workouts and heat for 24 to 48 hours
  • Skip alcohol and salty foods for the first 24 hours to avoid puffiness
  • Avoid makeup for at least 6 to 12 hours to keep the area clean and irritation-free
  • Results refine and settle within about a week, so be patient before judging the final look
