Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth lines, and subtly enhance facial features. While they effectively address signs of aging, fillers also help enhance natural beauty by balancing facial proportions, refining contours and adding definition at any stage of life.
With her advanced training in facial plastic surgery and deep understanding of facial anatomy, Dr. Carolyn Montes creates results that are elegant, natural, and uniquely tailored to you.
What Can Fillers Do?
Whether you’re seeking refreshment or refinement, fillers can help:
- Soften fine lines and deeper folds
- Restore volume to the cheeks and temples
- Define the jawline or chin
- Diminish under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
- Enhance lip shape and fullness
- Improve facial balance and symmetry
- Smooth acne scars or contour irregularities
Types of Fillers
Dr. Montes primarily uses hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and the RHA® Collection. These fillers are made from a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and plumps the skin. HA fillers are safe, reversible and ideal for both subtle enhancements and noticeable rejuvenation.
She also offers Sculptra®, a collagen-stimulating filler that gradually restores volume over time, providing natural, long-lasting results.
What To Expect
Filler treatments are performed in-office, typically under an hour. A topical numbing cream ensures comfort, and most patients resume normal activities immediately. Results are visible immediately, with final settling over 1–2 weeks. Mild swelling or bruising is common and resolves quickly.
How Long Do Fillers Last?
HA fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, depending on the product and area treated. Sculptra® gradually builds collagen and can last over 2 years.
Personalized Treatment for Natural Results
