Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler options
Pittman Plastic Surgery offers a variety of fillers that can be used to treat various areas on the face to restore volume loss, enhance shallow contours, and soften facial wrinkles. As we age, we lose the natural hyaluronic acid (HA) in the skin and tissue resulting in volume loss and fine lines & wrinkles. Our fillers are HA based which not only add volume back to the area but also hydrates and softens the surrounding skin and tissue. Common areas of treatment include:
- Infraorbital Hollowness (Tear Trough)
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)
- Marionette Lines (Puppet Lines)
- Chin and/or Jawline
- Vertical Lip Lines
- Thin and/or Uneven Lips
- Hands
What to expect during your treatment?
Treatments vary in length depending on what the patient will require. Our injector will review your goals, develop an individualized treatment plan and take ‘before’ photos. A topical anesthetic is then applied for comfort for about 15-20 minutes. Although the injections are not pain free, they are very tolerable. During the treatment, patients may also choose to receive Pro-Nox™, an oxygen and nitrous oxide mixture that provides additional analgesic relief from pain and anxiety.
What to expect after your treatment?
Some swelling and mild bruising may occur after treatments and can last 7-10 days, so it’s best to schedule accordingly. Most patients see optimal results about 2 weeks after injections. Those results can last from 6 months to possibly more than a year, depending on the product used and area treated. So while results are not permanent, they are long lasting!
Which filler will i need?
One of the most important factors here at Pittman Plastic Surgery is individualized treatment and care. It is of the utmost importance that every patient is educated on the different types of fillers and their areas of use. This will lead to a customized treatment plan created to meet each specific patient’s goals.
To maximize patient comfort, the providers at Pittman Plastic Surgery will use lidocaine (a local anesthetic) to numb the area during dermal filler treatment. We also offer Pro-Nox™, an oxygen and nitrous oxide mixture that provides additional analgesic relief from pain and anxiety.
There is no downtime required for these facial rejuvenation treatments, but patients may experience some swelling and mild bruising after treatments which can last 7-10 days, so it’s best to schedule accordingly.
Results can last from 6 months to possibly more than a year, depending on product used and area treated. So while results are not permanent, they are long lasting. Discuss your options with our medical team and they will be able to direct you accordingly.

FROM OUR PATIENTS
“I’m a senior age professional. My business has expanded to different states, and I have become more involved with younger professionals. I felt I needed a younger appearance to compete and to be more confident. I went to Dr. Pittman for a neck lift and Juvederm Voluma dermal injections in my cheeks a few months later. This was a great investment for my business. Dr. Pittman is the best! His medical professionals and staff are also the best! I look fabulous.”
“I also got my lips done with [Charlotte] and I love her modest approach. She listened to what I wanted and what I DIDN’T want. She was able to show me before and afters and come up with a treatment plan just for me which really made me feel comfortable. If you are looking for a master injector, you’ve found it in Charlotte!”
