As we get older, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, which results in a loss of volume and skin elasticity, and, ultimately, in wrinkles and fine lines. One of the most popular ways to reverse these effects is with injectables like dermal fillers. At Saline Oral Facial & Dental Implant Surgery, we are pleased to offer top-of-the-line fillers, safely and carefully injected by our highly trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Dermal fillers are a great anti-aging solution for those in and around the Saline, MI area.
Different Brands of Fillers
Not all facial fillers are created equal, and our practice is pleased to provide a range of options to address your specific needs. When you join us for an initial consultation, you will have the opportunity to voice your skincare goals, and to identify the areas you would like to correct. Our doctor will evaluate your skin, listen to your concerns, and recommend a filler or a combination of fillers best suited to achieving your aesthetic goals. In some cases, we may recommend combining fillers with other treatments, including BOTOX®, to get the desired results.
Real Patient Results
How Exactly Do Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are carefully injected into targeted areas of your face or neck. While different fillers have slightly varied ingredients, most of them work by replenishing your body’s supply of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that has a plumping effect on your skin. By providing a healthy boost of hyaluronic acid, fillers help you refill areas where you have lost volume, and to smooth over areas where you have wrinkles, creases, folds, and lines.
Why Do People Choose Fillers Over Other Skin Treatments?
While dermal fillers cannot offer the same substantial result as a surgical facelift or neck lift, they can be a highly advantageous option if you wish to restore your youthful radiance without the need for surgery. Some benefits of fillers include:
- There is virtually no downtime.
- Injections are all handled in-office, taking mere minutes.
- There are no incisions or scars.
- Topical anesthesia keeps you comfortable.
- Results can last for months and be extended with touch-up injections.
- When administered by a trained provider, fillers are safe and offer natural-looking results.

Best Areas of the Face for Fillers
At Saline OMS, we offer tailored filler treatments to enhance specific areas and create harmonious results. Fillers can be used on the:
- Cheeks: Fillers can restore volume loss in the cheeks, creating a more youthful and lifted appearance. They can also enhance cheekbone definition and improve overall facial symmetry.
- Jawline: A well-defined jawline can create a stronger and more balanced facial profile. Fillers can be used to sculpt and define the jawline, reducing the appearance of jowls and creating a more youthful contour.
- Chin: Chin augmentation with fillers can improve facial balance and proportion, creating a more harmonious profile. This is especially beneficial for individuals with a weak or receding chin.
- Under Eyes: Fillers can address under-eye hollows, which can create a tired or aged appearance. By adding subtle volume, fillers can smooth out the under-eye area, reduce dark circles, and refresh the eyes.
- Lips: Lip enhancement with fillers can add subtle volume, define lip borders, and smooth out fine lines. This can result in a more youthful and plump appearance while maintaining natural-looking results.
Choosing the Right Filler for Each Area
Choosing the appropriate filler for each facial area is crucial for achieving optimal results. At Saline OMS, we consider various factors when recommending fillers, including:
- Area of treatment: Different fillers are formulated for specific areas. For instance, softer fillers are often used for the delicate lip area, while thicker fillers may be better for adding volume to the cheeks.
- Desired outcome: Whether you want subtle enhancement or more dramatic volumization, we’ll choose a filler that aligns with your goals.
- Skin type and condition: Your skin’s unique characteristics will influence our filler recommendations to promote the most natural and long-lasting results.
During your consultation, our team will assess your individual needs and facial anatomy to determine the most appropriate filler for each treatment area. This personalized approach allows us to offer the most effective and aesthetically pleasing results.
How Long Do the Results Last?
The timeline for your facial filler results can vary depending on the brand used, your aesthetic goals, and how your body responds to the injectable. On average, fillers last anywhere from three to twelve months. By coming in for follow-up or maintenance injections, you can extend your results for even longer. Adequate skincare and a healthy lifestyle may also help preserve your youthful effects.
