Question 4

How long do dermal fillers last?

Accepted Answer

One of the top questions we hear at Estrella Aesthetics is: “How long do dermal fillers last?”

The answer depends on several factors, including the type of filler used, the treatment area, and your body’s unique metabolism. In general, dermal filler results can last anywhere from 6 months to 5 years, making them a versatile and long-lasting option for facial rejuvenation.

Longevity by Filler Type

We offer a wide range of industry-leading fillers at Estrella Aesthetics, including JUVÉDERM® , Restylane®, and Radiesse®, each with its own unique properties and duration:

JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® (hyaluronic acid-based): Results typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific formula used and the area treated.
Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite-based): This filler provides longer-lasting results, often up to 12 to 24 months, and stimulates collagen production for added firmness.
Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid-based): Designed to gradually build collagen, results appear more subtly over time and can last up to 2 years or more.
Bellafill® (polymethylmethacrylate microspheres): Known for its exceptional longevity, Bellafill® can last up to 5 years, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers available.

Longevity by Treatment Area

Lips and under-eyes: These delicate areas experience frequent movement, so fillers here typically last 6 to 12 months.
Cheeks and jawline: These areas tend to retain filler longer, with results often lasting 12 to 24 months.
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Fillers in these regions typically last 9 to 18 months, depending on the product.

Maximizing Your Results

To maintain your youthful look, we recommend scheduling touch-up treatments before the filler fully dissolves. Staying well-hydrated, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and following a consistent skincare routine can also help prolong your results.

Question 5

Does a dermal filler treatment hurt?

Accepted Answer

One of the most common questions we receive at Estrella Aesthetics is: “Does a dermal filler treatment hurt?”

The answer is—not much at all! Most patients describe the experience as mildly uncomfortable at most, thanks to several measures we take to ensure your comfort throughout the process.

Minimized Discomfort with Built-In Lidocaine

Many of today’s most advanced dermal fillers—including popular options like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®—are formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps to significantly reduce pain during the injection. As the filler is administered, the lidocaine works almost immediately to numb the area, making the process smoother and more tolerable.

Topical Numbing for Extra Comfort

At Estrella Aesthetics, your comfort is our priority. Before your treatment begins, we offer a topical numbing cream that is applied to the treatment area to further reduce any sensitivity. This step is especially helpful for more delicate areas such as the lips, under-eyes, or nasolabial folds.

Expert Technique Makes a Difference

In addition to these pain-reducing features, our skilled injectors use gentle, precise techniques to minimize any discomfort, swelling, or bruising. Most patients are surprised at how quick and easy the entire process is—often completed in under 30 minutes with little to no downtime.

What to Expect After Treatment

Some patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection site, but these symptoms typically subside within a few hours to a couple of days. Most people return to their daily activities immediately after leaving our office.

Question 6

How soon will I see the results of a dermal filler treatment?

Accepted Answer

At Estrella Aesthetics, one of the most exciting aspects of dermal filler treatments is how quickly you can see results.

In most cases, results are visible immediately after your appointment, with continued improvement over the following days.

Immediate Enhancement, Gradual Refinement

Thanks to the advanced formulations of fillers like JUVÉDERM® , Restylane®, Radiesse®, and Sculptra®, patients often notice instant volume restoration and contour enhancement as soon as the filler is injected. You’ll leave your appointment with a more refreshed, youthful appearance—even after just one session.

However, it’s important to note that final results typically take about 1 to 2 weeks to fully develop. During this time, any initial swelling, minor bruising, or redness will subside, and the filler will settle naturally into the treated area for a smoother, more refined finish.

What to Expect After Treatment

Day 1–3: You may experience some swelling, tenderness, or slight bruising—this is completely normal.
Day 4–7: Swelling begins to subside; the filler continues to integrate naturally with your facial tissues.
Week 1–2: The area looks more balanced and natural, revealing the full results of your treatment.

Long-Lasting, Beautiful Results

Depending on the filler used and the treatment area, your refreshed look can last from 6 months to 5 years. Regular maintenance treatments at Estrella Aesthetics can help prolong your results and keep you looking your best year-round.

Question 7

Can dermal fillers be reversed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, one of the key advantages of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers—such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®—is that they can be safely and effectively reversed if needed. At Estrella Aesthetics, patient satisfaction and safety are our top priorities, and that includes offering solutions for those who may wish to adjust or dissolve their filler results.

If a patient is not satisfied with the outcome or experiences an adverse reaction, we can administer an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid quickly and naturally. This allows the treated area to return to its pre-filler state in just a few days. The process is minimally invasive and performed by our skilled medical professionals in a safe, clinical setting.

Choosing a provider who is experienced in both the application and removal of fillers is essential. At Estrella Aesthetics, our licensed injectors use advanced techniques to deliver natural-looking results—and the peace of mind that comes with knowing your treatment is completely reversible if necessary.

Question 8

How long is the recovery time after eyelid surgery?

Accepted Answer

Recovery usually takes 1-2 weeks, with most swelling and bruising resolving in the first few days. Full results will be apparent after 3-6 months.

Question 9

Will eyelid surgery leave scars?

Accepted Answer

Any scars will be strategically placed in the natural creases of your eyelids, making them nearly invisible once healed.

Question 10

How soon will I see the results of the eyelid surgery?

Accepted Answer

You will see initial improvements immediately, but the final results will be more visible after a few months when the swelling fully subsides.
