Will I look hollow after lower blepharoplasty?

When performed with a modern, conservative approach, lower blepharoplasty is designed to avoid a hollow appearance. Dr. Basci focuses on preserving or repositioning volume rather than aggressively removing it, creating smooth, natural-looking contours beneath the eyes.

Can fillers replace lower blepharoplasty?

Fillers can help improve mild hollowness, but they do not address excess fat or loose skin. If under-eye bags or puffiness are the primary concern, surgery is often the more effective and long-lasting solution.

Will there be visible scars?

In many cases, incisions are placed inside the lower eyelid, leaving no visible external scar. When an external incision is needed, it is carefully placed just beneath the lash line to heal as discreetly as possible.

How long do results last?

Lower blepharoplasty provides long-lasting results because it addresses the underlying structure of the eyelid. While the natural aging process continues, most patients do not require repeat surgery.

What is recovery really like?

Most patients experience swelling and bruising for the first one to two weeks, with gradual improvement over time. Many feel comfortable returning to normal activities within that window, though full refinement continues as healing progresses.

Dermal Fillers in Dallas, TX

Non-Surgical, In-Office Facial Contouring

Dermal fillers can strategically restore volume, refine facial contours, and soften visible signs of aging without surgery. For patients considering dermal fillers in Dallas, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Deniz Basci develops personalized treatment plans based on facial anatomy, proportion, and individual aesthetic goals. At Dallas Premier Plastic Surgery, filler treatments are approached with the same attention to balance and subtlety that Dr. Basci brings to surgical facial rejuvenation.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to add or restore volume beneath the skin. Depending on the area(s) of concern and the product(s) selected, fillers may be used to enhance the lips, define the chin or jawline, restore cheek volume, soften certain facial creases, and/or improve transitions between facial features.

Fillers can be administered alone or incorporated into a broader facial rejuvenation plan alongside treatments such as Botox® or laser resurfacing.

Are Dermal Fillers Right For Me?

Good candidates for fillers are healthy adults who want to address volume loss, improve facial definition, or make a subtle change to specific features without undergoing surgery. Patients should have realistic expectations and understand that the appropriate treatment plan depends on their anatomy. Dermal fillers are not appropriate for patients with an active infection or inflammation near the injection site, or those with certain medical conditions or allergies.

The Procedure

Dr. Basci begins by evaluating your facial proportions and identifying the areas where added volume or contour can create the most balanced result. The skin is cleansed, and topical numbing can be used as appropriate for comfort.

Your selected dermal filler is then injected in carefully selected locations using a needle or cannula, depending on the treatment area and product. Dr. Basci controls the placement and amount, evaluating symmetry and contour throughout the process. Because dermal fillers are injectable, surgical incisions and stitches are not necessary.

The Recovery Process

Recovery after dermal fillers is generally brief, although the experience varies depending on the treatment area, product, and amount used. Temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur around the injection sites.

Patients should follow Dr. Basci’s individualized aftercare instructions and avoid unnecessary pressure on treated areas. Certain activities, including strenuous exercise or significant heat exposure, may need to be limited briefly after treatment. Most patients can return to their everyday routines relatively quickly.

Filler FAQs

Will dermal fillers make my face look unnatural?

Dermal fillers do not inherently create an overfilled appearance, since the outcome depends heavily on treatment planning and the amount of product used. Conservative placement preserves recognizable features while making measured changes to facial structure.

Are dermal fillers permanent?

Most commonly used dermal fillers are not considered permanent and gradually diminish over time. The duration of the effect depends largely on the material used and individual metabolism.

Can dermal fillers be repeated over time?

Yes, many patients undergo additional filler treatments as previous results gradually diminish. The timing and amount of subsequent treatment should be based on how much product remains and the desired outcome.
