Fillers
Orlando and Winter Park, Florida
At the initial consultation, your goals and expectations about the procedure will be discussed in detail. An individual decision about the most appropriate technique(s) or material to be used will be selected and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique will be discussed.
Fat Injection
This is your own fat that may be harvested for re-injection. The advantages are no chance of allergic reaction; the disadvantages of this material are the need for harvesting and no proven increased longevity over collagen. No FDA approval is required.
"During the process I was always comfortable that I could call with questions and never have to
worry. The staff is knowledgeable and caring—never rushed. They are all a gift. I will never
hesitate if I decide to have something else done."
"From the initial call with your receptionist (who is a definite asset), to meeting with Dr. Greenberg
and all of the other staff, I felt so well cared for by professional, accredited and caring people!

Hyaluronic Acid fillers
These products are the most popular of the current fillers and include Restylane-L, Juvéderm XC Ultra, Juvéderm XC Ultra Plus, Perlane-L. They are safe and natural non-animal based hyaluronic acid products (normal components of human skin) that are synthetically produced. These products now come pre mixed with the local anesthetic lidocaine making the injections much more comfortable. They have been used outside the United States exclusively and were recently FDA approved for use in the United States for treatment of facial wrinkles and folds. Their use in the lips is considered off-label by the FDA, however, we have seen excellent results.
Radiesse
Radiesse is synthetically produced particulate calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel delivery system. Radiesse usually lasts 9-12 months after injection and is FDA approved for use for treating facial wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds. We have had excellent results here and as a filler in the cheek. No skin test is required.
Sculptra
This is a synthetic injectable material known as poly-L-lactic acid which has been used for years in the body in other forms (suture material) and is very well tolerated by the body. This substance is injected below the skin and is used as a volume enhancer and actually thickens skin. Longevity is approximately 18-24 months. No skin test is required. Multiple treatment sessions are required to see the best results. It is FDA-approved for this purpose.
