Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits for individuals looking to enhance their appearance and restore a more youthful and refreshed look to their face—non-surgically and with minimal downtime. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified and experienced healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on your unique needs and goals.
Plump It Up!
Dermal fillers are a cosmetic injectable treatment that restores volume and fullness to the face, reduces wrinkles, and enhances facial contours. They’re primarily made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that keeps skin hydrated and plump, but other filler options may also be used depending on the area being treated and the desired outcome.
Other uses include non-surgical liquid rhinoplasties and chin augmentations in which dermal fillers are injected into the nose and chin, respectively. Request an appointment for your consultation for dermal fillers in Fort Worth at 817 Surgical Arts with Dr. Johnson.

How are Dermal Fillers Administered?
Step 1: Preparation
Dr. Johnson will assess your facial structure to determine where to add fillers for the most natural-looking results. We will create a personalized treatment plan to address your needs and goals. This plan will depend on the treatments you’re receiving, such as adding cheek or jawline definition, lip augmentation, or improving facial contours.
Step 2: Procedure
Dr. Johnson will use a local anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Depending on the amount of filler needed and the number of areas being treated, your treatment can be completed in as little as 30 minutes. Our treatment plan will guide the process and ensure you’re as comfortable as possible throughout treatment. Once finished, Dr. Johnson will go over any post-care guidelines to ensure the best recovery and results.
Step 3: Recovery
Patients may return to their regular activities quickly after being treated. We advise against strenuous activity after treatment. Some minor swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, and discomfort is normal, but these side effects will diminish within 24 hours. A cool compress can help relieve any discomfort. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
Dermal Fillers FAQs
When administered by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional, dermal fillers are generally considered safe. While rare, allergic reactions to dermal fillers can occur. Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is well-tolerated by most people. Other reactions include injection site redness or swelling, infection, vascular complications, lump formation, or migration.
The best candidates for dermal fillers in Fort Worth are in good health, both physically and psychologically, realistic in their post-treatment expectations, are experiencing unwanted facial changes, are in need of cheek augmentation or lip enhancement, and are over the age of 21.
The duration of dermal filler results varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the treatment area, and the individual’s metabolism. Generally, results can last anywhere from one year to many years.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved by using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. We suggest waiting 2 weeks after your filler treatment since swelling from the injection can cause temporary puffiness or asymmetry.
