When it comes to elective procedures, cost is always a factor. Dermal filler injections can vary in price depending on the experience and qualifications of the person performing the treatment, the type of procedure used, the time and effort required, and the geographical location of the office. It's important to remember that the surgeon's experience and your comfort with them are just as important as the final cost. Health insurance doesn't cover dermal fillers, but many plastic surgeons offer financing plans for patients. The popularity of dermal fillers has skyrocketed in recent years due to their ability to provide outstanding results without invasive procedures or long recovery times.
But for those considering fillers for the first time, there is always the question of cost. In this article, we'll explore how much you can expect to pay for cheek fillers and what factors influence the price. The type of dermal filler you choose is one of the biggest influences on cost. Fillers that last longer, such as polylactic acid, are more expensive than those that don't last as long. The Juvéderm family of fillers is widely used to soften age lines on the face and add volume to aging skin.
Other popular lip fillers include Volbella, Belotero, Juvederm, and Restylane. The amount of filler used also affects cost. During the development of your treatment plan, your expressions, facial structures, and desires will be evaluated to ensure that the right amount of filler is injected in the most beneficial way. The time frame for results also varies depending on the type of filler you choose, where it was injected, and how quickly your body metabolizes it. It's important to note that facial fillers are not a beauty procedure where you can expect to find a low price for a job well done. Although some medical spas and beauty salons offer dermal filler treatments at lower prices than doctors, it's recommended that a dermal filler be performed by a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Injectable dermal fillers can fill thin lips, improve superficial contours, smooth facial folds, remove wrinkles, and improve the appearance of scars.
To ensure that your filling really settles in properly, avoid any facial massage for three weeks after treatment and don't wear tight goggles or masks. Idriss says that hyaluronic acid fillers are on track to obtain FDA approval for use in the under-eye area but are currently used off-label (as are many filling procedures). Some cheek fillers can last six to 12 months while others can last for years. Ultimately, it's best to check with your doctor to find a filler that fits your price range and lasts a decent amount of time.
