Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Schwartz offers a wide range of filler products to help correct signs of facial aging, like lost volume, lines, and wrinkles. It is one of the most popular brands of injectable wrinkle fillers because it treats several concerns with different formulas for long-lasting results. Restylane is made with a synthetic version of the body's natural hyaluronic acid (HA), giving the skin a natural, softer look that is more supple and full. A custom treatment plan can treat mild to severe facial lines and wrinkles, as well as add volume to the lips and cheeks.

Robert Schwartz Plastic Surgery in Dallas, TX carries a selection of Restylane products, including:

The benefits of Bellafill extend beyond wrinkle reduction. Bellafill is also FDA approved to treat certain kinds of acne scars, offering smooth, instant results that last up to a year after your treatment. Two components of Bellafill work together to make this possible: collagen gel and PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate microspheres).

The components work to stimulate and smooth your skin without significant risks or side effects. Bellafill for acne scar treatment is safe for most skin types but is reserved for use on healthy patients over the age of 21.

more long-term solution without repetitive maintenance visits are also candidates for Bellafill. Patients who are allergic to lidocaine or bovine collagen are contraindicated for this treatment.

Men and women who are in good health and have mild to moderate facial lines and wrinkles are great candidates for Radiesse injectable treatments. It can treat smile lines, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, chin wrinkles, and lines in the corners of the mouth. Radiesse is also safe for addressing age-related volume loss in the hands to make them softer and younger looking.

You should not have this injection if you are allergic to lidocaine or any ingredients in the product. Make sure to tell Dr. Schwartz about any allergies (severe or not) and any medical conditions or disorders. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, may be pregnant, or are considering pregnancy within 1 – 2 years, you should not use Radiesse treatments.

Restylane ideal candidates

Since it has so many formulas, your treatment will be customized to fit your needs, concerns, and goals. Restylane can help you treat early signs of aging, including fine lines throughout the face, or if you want to boost the volume in your lips and cheeks.

It can also treat moderate to severe wrinkles like laugh lines, frown lines, Crow's feet, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and more. Some formulas contain lidocaine, so you should disclose any known allergies during your consultation with Dr. Schwartz to avoid a reaction.

Bellafil treatment

Several factors set Bellafill apart from the competition. While most fillers are HA (hyaluronic acid) based, Bellafill is comprised of tiny polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres in a collagen base that, once injected, trigger the body’s ability to make more collagen around the spheres. Contrary to the competing product Sculptra, which requires multiple treatments over an extended period of time, Bellafill is the only one of its kind that delivers an immediate result with continued visible improvement over time.

Enjoy long-term results without the long-term commitment of repeat appointments. Patients do not require repeat visits like hyaluronic acid fillers do, which generally call for touch-ups every 4 – 10 months. Once injected, Bellafill may last for up to five years. Results are natural and stunning. Patients avoid the artificial-looking appearance that over-zealous injectors often produce by supplementing the face with too much volume altogether. Dr. Schwartz is able to utilize Bellafill to enhance the volume and contours of the face with a finer and more powerful level of control.

Juvéderm procedure technique

Juvéderm injections commonly take about 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Your face will be cleaned and injection spots will be marked. To minimize discomfort during the treatment, Juvéderm fillers contain lidocaine (a local anesthetic).

After your treatment, you can resume your normal activity, but strenuous activity, like exercise, should be avoided for at least 24 hours. You should be careful to not touch your face after your injections to avoid moving the filler into unintended areas.

Revanesse Versa procedure technique

Before beginning your treatment, we will discuss your allergies and medical history to ensure Revanesse Versa is the right product for you. Next, your skin will be cleaned and prepped for treatment. Dr. Schwartz will mark the entry areas before Revanesse Versa is carefully and meticulously injected into your skin.

Your procedure will last around 30 minutes, and your results will be immediate. Although the procedure is not considered painful, topical or local anesthesia options can be discussed during your consultation. Once Revanesse Versa has been administered, we will discuss how to care for your skin while you heal.

Radiesse procedure technique

Radiesse injections take place in one of the treatment rooms at Robert Schwartz Plastic Surgery in about 30 – 60 minutes after the consultation. First, you will be seated comfortably while the areas of injection are cleaned and marked. Most patients feel only mild discomfort during their treatment at the initial prick of the needle, but if needed, a numbing agent can be applied to the injection sites.

The dosage of Radiesse, selected at your personalized treatment planning session, will be prepared in an ultra-fine syringe. The marked injection sites will guide the injector in carefully administering Radiesse into the skin. After the injections are complete, a cold compress can be applied to help alleviate swelling and bruising.

Restylane procedure technique

Restylane injections take place inside the minor procedures room at Robert Schwartz Plastic Surgery. While many formulas already contain the anesthetic agent lidocaine, a numbing cream can be applied for increased patient comfort if requested. The product is injected into your skin through a fine needle and massaged so it fills the needed areas.

Multiple injections will be needed followed by a cold, gentle compress to help control swelling. Each Restylane product is administered the same way but on different areas of the face targeted according to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

What to expect after Bellafill

One of the reasons why Dr. Schwartz loves Bellafill so much is because of its limited downtime. After getting Bellafill, you will be able to return to normal activities right away.

Patients may experience swelling, redness, bruising, itching, and discoloration, but these are only temporary and will resolve anywhere from within a few hours to a week after treatment.

What to expect after Juvéderm

Patients should see an immediate improvement after their Juvéderm treatment, but they may also see mild swelling or bruising in the treated areas for about 7 – 10 days.

The results of Juvéderm injections usually last up to one year in most patients, but some find that their results last longer after a few years of treatments. Talk to your injector about when to book a touch-up or full treatment to maintain your results.

What to expect after Revanesse Versa

Though the site of your injections may be red, tender to the touch, and slightly swollen, your results will be immediate and you will be released to return to your daily activities. Should you decide to do so, anti-inflammatory medications can be taken to relieve any associated symptoms.

We recommend keeping your hands away from your face and sleeping in an upright position the first 24 hours after your treatment so as not to disturb the product while it settles. Your beautiful and dramatic yet natural results could last up to a year!

What to expect after Radiesse

After your treatment, you may see some bruising, redness, and swelling. This is common and should only last for about 5 – 10 days. These side effects can usually be concealed with makeup. If the side effects last longer or seem excessive, please do not hesitate to call Robert Schwartz Plastic Surgery. Most patients see some results immediately with better results developing over time.

Your face should appear younger, softer, and have a natural glow. Radiesse tends to last longer than some of the other fillers (around 1 – 2 years). You should talk to Dr. Robert Schwartz during your consultation about when to schedule your next treatment to maintain your results.

What to expect after Restylane

After your Restylane injections are complete, you can return to work. Your recovery will depend on what is being treated, so talk to your injector about what to expect. The injection sites will appear slightly red and swollen, but this usually goes away in a few hours. Bruising can be a factor in some areas, but this can usually be concealed with makeup.

It is recommended that you avoid exercise for 24 hours and you should sleep upright for the first night. Most patients will notice some improvements immediately after treatment, but it may take 1 – 2 weeks before the final results appear. Restylane injections can often last up to a year depending on the exact product used.

Bellafill can also be used around the jawline, jowls, and cheekbones for a more defined, strengthened facial structure.
