Dermal Fillers in Cleveland, OH
If you are looking to erase fine lines, restore hollowed cheeks, or enhance your lips without the downtime of surgery, Dermal Fillers offer an immediate and customizable solution. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat and collagen, making smile lines and “crow’s feet” more apparent. Fillers work by “plumping” these areas, restoring a youthful fullness and a refreshed glow.
Dr. Rodney Green utilizes a curated selection of world-class fillers to provide precise, natural-looking results. With over 35 years of surgical experience, Dr. Green has a deep understanding of facial anatomy, ensuring your injections are safe, symmetrical, and tailored to your unique features.
Popular Treatment Areas
Fillers are incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of aesthetic goals:
- Lips: Add subtle volume, define the “Cupid’s bow,” and smooth out vertical lip lines.
- Cheeks & Mid-face: Restore “high” cheekbones and lift sagging skin by replacing lost volume.
- Nasolabial Folds: Soften the deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (smile lines).
- Jawline & Chin: Sculpt a more defined jawline or project a weak chin for a balanced profile.
The Procedure: Instant Results with Zero Downtime
A filler treatment is a quick, “lunchtime” procedure that typically takes 15 to 30 minutes.
- Consultation: Dr. Green will assess your facial structure and listen to your goals to determine which specific filler is best for you (as different “weights” of filler work better for different areas).
- Numbing: Most modern fillers are formulated with lidocaine (a local anesthetic) built right in. We can also apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your total comfort.
- Injection: Using a very fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula, Dr. Green strategically places the filler to achieve the desired lift and contour.
- Reveal: You will see the results immediately.
Recovery: What to Expect
- Downtime: There is virtually no downtime. You can return to work or your daily routine immediately.
- Minor Swelling: Some patients experience mild swelling or redness at the injection site, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours.
- Bruising: While rare, minor bruising can occur. We recommend avoiding blood-thinning supplements like aspirin or ibuprofen for a few days before your appointment to minimize this risk.
- Longevity: Depending on the product used and the area treated, results typically last from 6 months to 2 years.
Important Note on Your Recovery & Results
Every individual’s face is unique, and as such, aesthetic results and the longevity of the filler will vary from patient to patient. Your metabolism, the area treated, and your lifestyle factors (like sun exposure and smoking) will influence how long the filler lasts.
While fillers are highly safe, your health is our priority. It is vital that you contact our office at 440-449-8880 immediately if you notice any unusual symptoms, such as severe pain, skin blanching (whitening), or persistent redness after your treatment. Early communication ensures we can provide the necessary guidance to keep your results beautiful and safe.
Dermal Filler FAQs
Will I look "overfilled" or fake?
Dr. Green’s philosophy is “less is more.” His goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not change your identity. By following the natural contours of your face, he ensures you look like a more rested version of yourself.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a minor “pinch” or pressure. Because the products contain lidocaine, the area becomes increasingly numb as the treatment progresses.
What is the difference between Botox and Fillers?
Botox® relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines (like forehead wrinkles). Fillers actually fill in the folds and restore lost volume. Dr. Green often uses both in a “Liquid Facelift” for comprehensive results.
Can fillers be reversed?
Yes. Most of the fillers we use are made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a substance naturally found in your skin. If for any reason you are unhappy with the result, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to safely dissolve the filler within hours.
Consultation Checklist: Questions to Ask Dr. Green
