Lip & Dermal Filler Overview

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances, fillers mimic the naturally occurring elements in your skin that keep it hydrated and plump.

This versatile treatment is a popular choice for lip filler and enhancement, and it can also address deep smile lines to help you look refreshed and rejuvenated.

At Chamata Plastic Surgery, Dr. Chamata uses an array of Houston dermal fillers to achieve specific results based on your unique needs. The most common types of fillers include:

Which Filler is Right for You?

There are several types of hyaluronic acid fillers, each designed to treat specific facial areas and concerns. Some focus on restoring volume, while others smooth lines or enhance definition. At Dr. Chamata’s practice, every treatment is customized to ensure balanced, natural-looking results tailored to your features.

Whether you want fuller lips, more defined cheeks, or a sculpted jawline, Dr. Chamata will help you choose the filler that best fits your goals during a personalized consultation. His thoughtful, patient-focused approach helps ensure results that look refined, refreshed, and true to you.

Which Are the Best Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers require precision, artistry, and an expert understanding of facial harmony to achieve a natural and balanced look.

For this delicate area, hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvéderm Volbella and Restylane Silk are popular choices, as they are designed to provide soft, subtle volume while enhancing the overall appearance of the lips. These Houston lip fillers can redefine lip borders, smooth fine lines around the mouth, and improve symmetry, creating a refreshed and youthful appearance without looking overdone.

Dr. Chamata’s meticulous approach and aesthetic expertise ensure personalized results that enhance your unique beauty, leaving you with lips that look effortlessly natural and perfectly proportioned.

What to Expect During Treatment?

When you choose dermal fillers, your experience begins with a comprehensive consultation where Dr. Chamata evaluates your facial structure and listens to your aesthetic goals. This personalized approach ensures that your treatment plan is designed to deliver balanced, natural-looking results with cosmetic injectables.

The injection process itself is quick and convenient, typically completed in less than 30 minutes. To maximize comfort, a topical numbing agent may be applied before treatment. The filler is then precisely injected into targeted areas to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance your features.

Following your appointment, you may notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. Results are visible almost immediately and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler selected.

Patient Testimonials

B.H.

I went in for lip filler with Mayra and my experience was amazing. She was very educated, and my lips look so good. She explained what products she was using and what she recommended for my lips. I 100% will recommend her to my friends and will continue to come back to see her.

J.P.

I had a Botox and hyaluronic acid procedure with Mayra, and it was one of the best decisions I made to change the appearance of my face and make it more harmonious. The entire procedure was exactly how I requested: a defined jawline and natural lips. I'm delighted with the results.

R.M.

I had such a wonderful and pleasant experience with Mayra. I went for facial balancing. She also dissolved my previous filler and then I got mini lip filler. It looks so natural. She was referred to me by a friend and I’m so glad I went to Mayra. Dr Chamata’s office is beautiful and always welcoming.

F.A.

So happy with my lips fillers! Mayra really knows what she’s doing! everything looks super natural and flattering. She made me feel totally at ease and the whole experience was great. Definitely going back to her!

Are fillers better at getting rid of wrinkles than Botox?

Fillers and BOTOX address different concerns. While fillers are ideal for smoothing static wrinkles and restoring lost volume, BOTOX works by relaxing dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movements, such as frown lines and crow’s feet.

Are there any side effects with dermal fillers?

Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.

Are dermal fillers painful?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, especially since numbing agents are often used. The injections are quick and performed with precision to minimize any pain.

How long do lip fillers last?

The longevity of your results depends on the specific product used and your individual metabolism. Most hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers in Houston at our practice last between 6 to 12 months. We will help you choose the ideal filler to maintain your desired volume and shape.

Can lip fillers fix asymmetrical lips?

Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of lip injections is the ability to correct asymmetry and define the lip borders. We customize every treatment to improve balance and enhance your natural lip shape.

How long will my results last?

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, while other fillers like Sculptra may provide results for up to two years.

Will I look overfilled after my treatment?

Not with Dr. Chamata’s meticulous approach. His artistic eye and technical expertise ensure balanced, natural, and tailored results to enhance your beauty without appearing overdone.
