What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid and other biocompatible substances. These fillers add volume beneath the skin to smooth folds, plump thinning areas, and enhance definition. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscle movement, fillers work by physically supporting the skin.
Over time, your face naturally loses collagen, fat, and bone support. This can lead to hollow cheeks, deeper nasolabial folds, or sagging around the jaw. Fillers help counter these effects by rebuilding volume where it’s been lost.
The treatment is quick, and results can be seen immediately. Depending on the type of filler and the treatment area, results typically last between 6 to 18 months. Most of our patients experience little to no downtime, making fillers an easy option for those with busy schedules.

Benefits of Fillers

Dr. Mourad customizes filler placement, product choice, and technique to suit your goals while preserving your natural expressions. The benefits of our dermal filler treatment include:
  • Restores lift and contour to your cheeks
  • Adds shape and fullness to your lips
  • Softens deep smile lines around the mouth
  • Improves definition around the jawline
  • Reduces hollowness and shadowing under the eyes
If you’re just beginning to notice changes in your skin or want to refine past work, Dr. Mourad will help you choose the most thoughtful, balanced approach.

Which Areas Can Be Treated with Fillers?

Dermal fillers restore volume, smooth deeper lines, and subtly reshape the face. Depending on your goals, Dr. Mourad can use fillers in one or more of the following areas:
Cheeks: Volume loss in the midface can make you look tired or drawn. Fillers lift and contour the cheeks to restore youthful structure and balance.
Nasolabial Folds: These lines run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Fillers soften the depth of these folds for a smoother, refreshed appearance.
Lips: Whether you’re looking for more definition, symmetry, or volume, fillers can enhance the lips while keeping them soft and natural-looking.
Marionette Lines: These lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth can create a tired or sad look. Fillers help lift and smooth this area.
Under Eyes (Tear Troughs): Hollowing under the eyes can cast shadows and create a worn-out appearance. Fillers restore volume here, brightening the eyes and softening fatigue.
Jawline and Chin: Fillers can define the jawline and add projection to the chin for a more sculpted profile, especially helpful for balancing facial proportions.
Temples: Loss of volume in the temples can create a sunken or aged look. Fillers restore fullness for a smoother facial contour.

Are You a Candidate For Fillers?

Fillers are a strong option if you want to restore volume, enhance features, or smooth deeper lines, without the downtime of surgery. You might be a good candidate if you:
  • Have noticed volume loss in areas like the cheeks or under eyes
  • Want to soften deeper folds around the nose or mouth
  • Are looking to enhance the lips, jawline, or chin
  • Prefer immediate results with a natural look
  • Are in overall good health and have realistic expectations
During your consultation, Dr. Mourad will assess your facial anatomy, listen to your goals, and recommend a plan that aligns with your unique features.

What To Expect During

What To Expect During Your Consultation

Your filler experience at Mourad NYC starts with a personalized consultation with Dr. Mourad. He’ll take time to understand your aesthetic goals and review the areas of volume loss or facial imbalance you’ve noticed. He will also review your medical history and any past cosmetic treatments to confirm that fillers are the right option for you. This consultation gives you space to ask questions and feel confident in the treatment plan.
Dr. Mourad brings an artistic eye and surgical expertise to every case, focusing on subtle, thoughtful results that highlight your existing beauty.

What To Expect During Your Dermal Filler Procedure

Your filler treatment at Mourad NYC is straightforward, personalized, and designed for comfort. After reviewing the plan with you, Dr. Mourad will clean and prepare the treatment areas. He might mark key points for precision based on your facial anatomy and symmetry.
Using a fine needle or cannula, Dr. Mourad will carefully inject the filler in small amounts, shaping and adjusting as he works. Most fillers contain lidocaine, which helps minimize discomfort during the process. The entire session usually takes 30 minutes or less.
You might experience swelling or minor bruising afterward. These side effects usually fade within a few days.
 
How Soon Will I See Results?
With dermal fillers, you’ll typically see results immediately after your treatment. Some areas, like the lips or under eyes, might appear slightly swollen at first, but the full effect becomes clearer as any swelling subsides, usually within a few days.
 
How Long Do Facial Fillers Last?
The longevity of your filler results depends on the area treated and the type of filler used. Most fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Areas with more movement, like the lips, might need touch-ups sooner, while areas like the cheeks or jawline often hold results longer. Dr. Mourad will walk you through what to expect based on your treatment plan.

What Are the Risks of Filler Treatments?

Dermal fillers are generally safe when performed by a qualified medical professional, but like any procedure, they carry some risks. Most side effects are temporary and mild, but it’s still helpful to know what to watch for. Common, mild side effects include:
  • Swelling or redness at the injection site
  • Bruising
  • Tenderness or slight discomfort
  • Lumps or firmness under the skin (usually temporary)
  • Itching or slight discoloration
Less common but more serious risks can include an infection, allergic reaction, filler migration, asymmetry, and vascular occlusion (a rare complication where filler blocks a blood vessel, requiring immediate treatment).

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact Us
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume beneath the skin to smooth lines and restore facial structure. They work by physically supporting areas where collagen and fat have diminished, helping to restore volume and improve balance.
What are fillers made of?
Most fillers used at Mourad NYC are hyaluronic acid based, a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds to water and keeps skin hydrated. Other options include poly L lactic acid, which stimulates collagen production over time.
Where can facial fillers be used?
Facial fillers can treat multiple areas of the face, including the cheeks, lips, jawline, under eyes, and smile lines. They help enhance facial contours and can also address volume loss in the temples or chin.
Are filler treatments painful?
Filler treatments are generally well tolerated. Most products contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort, and Dr. Mourad uses advanced techniques to reduce sensitivity at the injection site.
How long do injectable fillers last?
Injectable fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months depending on the type of product used and the area treated. For example, hyaluronic acid fillers in the lips may require more frequent touch-ups than those used in the cheeks or jawline.
What’s the difference between dermal fillers and Botox?
While Botox reduces muscle activity to soften dynamic lines, soft tissue fillers like hyaluronic acid physically lift and fill the skin. Both have a role in facial rejuvenation, and Dr. Mourad may recommend using them together for balanced results.
What should I expect during a dermal filler procedure?
During your dermal filler procedure, Dr. Mourad will evaluate your goals and facial structure, clean the treatment areas, and administer the dermal filler injections with precision. The process typically takes less than 30 minutes and is considered an outpatient procedure.
How do you decide which filler to use?
Dr. Mourad selects from a range of injectable dermal fillers based on your facial anatomy, goals, and how your skin has aged. He considers the ideal product texture, thickness, and longevity needed to smooth deep wrinkles or lift specific areas.
Are there risks with filler injections?
While filler injections are generally safe, possible side effects include bruising, swelling, or an allergic reaction. Serious risks are rare and minimized by seeing a qualified expert like Dr. Mourad, who specializes in clinical and aesthetic dermatology.
Can fillers help smooth wrinkles?
Yes. Fillers can smooth wrinkles caused by volume loss or skin thinning, especially in areas like the nasolabial folds or under eyes. They work differently than Botox but are very effective for static lines.
What’s the difference between fillers and facial fat grafting?
Facial fat grafting uses your own fat, harvested and reinjected into the face, while injectable fillers are pre-formulated products designed for consistency and precision. Many patients prefer fillers for the quicker process and predictable results.
What if I want subtle results?
That’s exactly Dr. Mourad’s specialty. He takes a refined approach when he injects dermal fillers, focusing on small adjustments that keep your facial features natural while giving you a refreshed look.
