Injectable Fillers Omaha
Over time, our skin begins to lose collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which is what causes you to develop fine lines and wrinkles. Injectable fillers are injectable gel solutions that help reduce deeper lines or wrinkles and plump up uneven areas of your face. Unlike BOTOX®, fillers work by restoring volume rather than relaxing into facial muscles.
The Benefits of Injectable Fillers
Injectable fillers are an excellent option if you are looking to revitalize your appearance without getting a facelift. While a facelift may eventually be needed to restore your youthful appearance, injectable fillers will keep you looking young and refreshed until a facelift is absolutely necessary.* By beginning with non-surgical treatment, you can:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
- Revolumize and soften deep creases.
- Enhance lips and cheeks.
Fillers can be applied to any area of your face to reduce the telltale signs of aging or create the shape and volume your want.*

Injectable Fillers FAQs
- Different areas: You can use different fillers on different facial areas during one session, like lip fillers with fillers for wrinkles. This is sometimes called a “liquid facelift.”
- Same session: Combining different types of fillers within the same session in specific areas may be possible to achieve specific results, but this should be carefully assessed by your doctor.
Here’s how to reduce swelling after injectable fillers:
1. Cold Compress: Apply a cold compress wrapped in a thin cloth to the treated area for 10-15 minutes at a time, several times a day, especially during the first 24 hours. This constricts blood vessels and reduces inflammation.
2. Elevation: Keep your head elevated while sleeping or resting for a few nights. This helps drain fluid away from the treated area, minimizing swelling.
3. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated helps flush out any toxins and prevents fluid retention, which can worsen swelling.
4. Avoid Certain Activities: Avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, and excessive sun exposure for at least 24-48 hours after your treatment. These can increase blood flow and worsen swelling.
5. Gentle Skincare: Avoid harsh products, scrubbing, or applying makeup directly to the treated area for a few days. Use gentle cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers.
6. Limited Touching: Avoid touching, rubbing, or picking at the treated area, as this can irritate the area and prolong swelling.
7. Over-the-counter Pain relief: Consult your doctor before taking any medication, but generally, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safe for pain relief. Avoid ibuprofen and aspirin as they can thin your blood and worsen swelling.
8. Gentle Lip Balm: For lip fillers, use a fragrance-free lip balm to keep lips moist and prevent them from drying out.
