With each passing year, men and women notice changes in their facial skin. This includes the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, commonly caused by increased skin laxity after the natural loss of collagen and elastin. Dr. Edmund Kwan is a New York City plastic surgeon who sees patients daily, looking at options for improving their appearance and restoring their youth. While a facelift, brow lift, and other facial surgeries can provide enhancement, they are not the only way to get results. Many patients are excited to learn about a less invasive solution such as facial fillers.
Understanding facial fillers
Many patients have questions about facial fillers and how they work. Dr. Edmund Kwan describes these injectable treatments as a cosmetic approach to aging skin. Formulated with an ingredient known as hyaluronic acid, these fillers add volume directly where they are needed—in wrinkles and folds across the face. This gel-like substance remains in place for several months, where it is naturally and safely absorbed by the skin and body.
How long do facial fillers last?
Patients often ask their doctor how long they can enjoy the benefits of facial fillers. Most individuals will find that their fillers will last anywhere from four to nine months, and even up to two years depending on how their body absorbs the gel over time. Patients who want to maintain the results will want to ask their doctor about reinjections scheduled regularly. This ensures that patients keep their youthful appearance and age slower than without injections.
What are the advantages of facial fillers?
Facial fillers have several benefits that make them highly desirable for both adult men and women. These injectables are:
- Affordable
- Effective
- Safe
- Long-lasting

- Minimally invasive
- Available for most adult patients
