Restore Smooth Skin with Facial Fillers in Nashville

Restylane® fillers at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute are FDA-approved, soft, gel-like solutions designed to restore volume and smooth wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that retains moisture by drawing in water from surrounding tissues, Restylane® is fully biocompatible. These fillers effectively address moderate facial wrinkles and folds, perioral lines (such as smoker’s lines), pre-jowl areas, cheeks, under-eye hollows, and lips.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Restylane®?

Fillers are considered to be low-risk, and most adults over the age of 21 who want to minimize facial wrinkles or enhance other features would be good candidates for Restylane®—as long as they don’t have any infections or irritation of the skin in the treatment area. Patients with allergies to bacterial protein, hyaluronic acid, or lidocaine and those who have inflammatory skin conditions, bleeding disorders, are currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood thinners should not have Restylane® injections.

More About Restylane®

Young skin is firm, buoyant, and smooth because it contains an abundance of collagen, elastin, fat, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, your skin gradually loses a significant percentage of these components, leading it to become thin, frail, and more prone to developing wrinkles. This is a result of normal aging, and there’s not much that can be done to prevent it. Lifestyle habits such as smoking and exposure to external elements like gravity, air pollution, harsh weather, and ultraviolet radiation also take a toll on the skin, causing the collagen fibers to weaken. Eventually, it’s common for wrinkles, sagging, and hollows to develop, especially on the middle and lower two-thirds of the face.

The main benefit of facial fillers like the Restylane® line is that they take the place of the collagen, fat, and other substances your skin is deficient in. Restylane® is injected directly below the skin with a fine needle and fills out areas where extra volume is needed. The injection procedure is simple, fast, and almost completely painless for patients. It usually is finished within less than an hour at our Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute office, and patients won’t need to take time off to recover. There are some minor, temporary side effects—such as bruising, redness, tenderness, and swelling—that will go away within a few days.

What Can Restylane® Address?

The Restylane® brand offers a variety of fillers with different particle sizes, each designed for specific applications. Most areas of the face—including the nose, mouth, cheeks, jaw, chin, and lips—can benefit from Restylane®. It effectively treats deep folds and creases as well as fine, superficial lines. A common target is the nasolabial folds, or "laugh lines," which extend from the base of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Thicker, more stable Restylane® fillers are ideal for adding lift and volume to the cheekbones, while lighter, thinner fillers are better suited for lip augmentation and treating smaller wrinkles.

Other Types of Wrinkle Treatments

Belotero® and the JUVÉDERM® family are alternatives to Restylane®, used for similar parts of the face. Along with fillers, there are other minimally invasive skin treatments available at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute, including light-based options such as laser skin resurfacing and IPL that trigger collagen production to reduce wrinkles and fade unwanted pigmentation or other irregularities that affect the tone and texture of the skin. Chemical peels and Morpheus8 microneedling are treatments for triggering collagen regeneration and skin cell turnover to enhance the general appearance of the skin. BOTOX® and other botulinum toxin type A wrinkle relaxers are designed to address expression wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and frown lines, which are caused by overused facial muscles and can’t be corrected with facial fillers. These skin rejuvenation techniques can be combined with facial fillers like Restylane® to maximize results.
