What filler is used in what area of the face is dependent on what issues you are trying to improve. Fillers can be used in all area of the face. They can be used to improve skin wrinkles as well as provide more volume to areas like the lips and cheek. Different fillers are used for each purpose. Dr. Albright will carefully assess your face and goals before offering an individualized treatment plan.

Dr. Albright and his staff will review the recovery restrictions that are specific to your filler procedure before and after the injections. A convenient handout will also be provided so you don't have to worry about remembering everything.

The "off-the-shelf" fillers that Dr. Albright uses are not permanent. This is a benefit and a drawback. The benefit of a temporary change is that if you don't like the result, the filler will be broken down overtime. The downside however, is that if you like the results, they will eventually go away. Also depending on the amount of filler needed to accomplish your goals, this route may get expensive!

Dr. Albright also offers facial fat grafting. This options may be worthy of consideration as this filler can be permanent, and is not a foreign substance.

Just like injection of any foreign material in the body, there are risks that can occur at the injection site such as irritation, pain, redness and swelling. There can be asymmetry between sides of the face where the product is injected. There can be over and under correction. However, there are also more uncommon but significant risks, which include infection, and injection into blood vessels in the face.  This is why it is important to use a trained professional for your face!
