Your Guide to Injectables at Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery

Are you considering a refreshed, youthful look without surgery? At Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery, our team specializes in injectables—a category that includes both neuromodulators and dermal fillers—to help smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance your natural beauty. Whether you’re new to cosmetic treatments or looking to refine your look, our guide will help you understand your options and what to expect from the process.

What Are Injectables?

Injectables are non-surgical treatments delivered via small injections to target signs of aging and facial volume loss. They fall into two main categories:

• Neuromodulators (like Botox Cosmetic): These relax facial muscles to soften lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
• Dermal Fillers (such as Juvederm, Radiesse, and Belotero): These add volume beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles, plump lips, and enhance facial contours.

Our Botox and Fillers page provides a comprehensive overview of the treatments we offer.

Which Dermal Filler Is Right for You?

Choosing the best filler depends on your specific needs and goals. At Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery, we offer several leading options:

• Juvederm: Ideal for smoothing fine lines, filling wrinkles, and adding volume to cheeks or lips. Its hyaluronic acid base provides natural-looking results that typically last 6-9 months. Juvederm is especially popular for lip enhancement and mid-face rejuvenation.

• Radiesse: Best for deeper lines and facial contouring, such as smile lines, marionette lines, and cheek enhancement. Radiesse stimulates your body’s own collagen for long-lasting results, making it suitable for those seeking to address significant volume loss.

• Belotero: Excellent for treating fine lines and delicate areas, such as around the mouth. Its lightweight formula integrates smoothly into the skin for subtle, natural results.

The choice between these fillers depends on your facial structure, the area you wish to treat, and your desired outcome. Our expert injectors will guide you during your personalized consultation to ensure the best results.

The Process: What to Expect When Getting Fillers

Your journey begins with a consultation, where our board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Rifai, will assess your goals, review your health history, and recommend the most suitable injectable treatment. On the day of your procedure:

• The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
• Using a fine needle, the chosen filler is precisely injected into targeted areas.
• The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, and you’ll notice results immediately with most dermal fillers.
• Minor swelling or redness may occur but usually resolves within 24 hours. Most patients resume normal activities right away.

Results from dermal fillers generally last 6-18 months, depending on the product and area treated. Maintenance sessions can help you retain your refreshed look.
