At our Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery location in Portage, MI, we offer a unique collection of dermal fillers that can meet the needs of patients with different cosmetic and aging-related concerns. From smoothing lines and wrinkles around the mouth to helping the body increase natural collagen production, these fillers can naturally improve appearance, reverse signs of aging, and shape, volumize and contour the face in a way that many anti-aging treatments and products cannot.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that inject natural volume below the skin’s surface to correct imperfections, most often those resulting from the natural aging process. At our Southwest Michigan Plastic and Hand Surgery locations, we offer collagen-building and hyaluronic acid-based fillers to help patients achieve their ideal appearance.
Our hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers contain a gel formula with various-sized hyaluronic acid particles that mimic the natural hyaluronic acid the body produces. Collagen-building fillers strengthen the skin’s foundational and structural levels and stimulate natural collagen production to improve facial volume without using a temporary synthetic formula to do so. Both provide an effective solution for aesthetic and aging-related concerns.
What Are the Treatment Benefits?
There are many benefits to beginning a treatment plan with dermal fillers. These fillers are safe and FDA-approved to treat lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and aesthetic imperfections. They also provide a long-lasting solution for those who want to correct facial imperfections and reverse the signs of aging. Other treatment benefits include:
- Treatments are comfortable
- Treatments are quick and take 15 to 30 minutes to complete
- The results look subtle and natural
- Treatment plans are versatile and customizable
- Results are immediate
- Patients can enjoy results that last several months to several years
- Fillers can be combined with other anti-aging treatments and injectables, including BOTOX®

JUVÉDERM® is made of a soft gel-like substance with lab-created hyaluronic acid particles. It can help patients achieve smoother skin and increased facial volume. It can smooth wrinkles and facial folds in the middle and lower half of the face and treat smile lines and other creases extending from the lower part of the nose down toward the corners of the mouth.
We can also use JUVÉDERM® to add volume to the lips. After an initial treatment, results can last up to 12 months.

JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC is a popular filler from the JUVÉDERM® Collection specifically used to add volume to the mid-facial area. This cheek filler can lift the cheeks by adding natural volume to hollow areas and improving facial proportions. After an initial treatment, JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC can last up to two years.

We can use this filler to treat nasolabial folds and other smile lines around the mouth.

Treatment results typically last six to nine months.
