Facial Fillers Pittsburgh

At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer an array of injectables, including the world’s best neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Injectable products can produce excellent results, taking years off your appearance, or creating a more attractive look by adding volume to certain facial areas. If you are considering an injectable treatment, you need to be confident that the result will appear natural, fresh, and youthful – not overfilled.

Injectables

Dr. Paul Leong is an acclaimed, board-certified plastic surgeon who has truly impressive skills with injectable treatments. His approach is conservative, and you do not need to worry about an overfilled look that gives you an unnatural, “worked on” look. His delicate, precise injection technique produces a remarkably natural look. He uses an array of neuromodulators and dermal fillers in Pittsburgh and selects the most effective injectable for the area of the face.

You deserve honesty, transparency, and results of the highest quality

Dr. Leong focuses on performing limited surgical and non-surgical procedures, all of the highest quality. You may be considering eye surgery to create a more youthful look, but Dr. Leong may, after evaluating your eyes, advise you to undergo an injectable treatment, rather than surgery. As the condition progresses, at a future time, he may advise you to undergo eyelid surgery -- but only when the time is right.

Every member of the professional team at Leong Facial Plastic Surgery is committed to transparency, honesty, and guiding you to a procedure, whether injectables or another approach, that will achieve superior results– with no ulterior motives.

Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers may be an excellent choice if you want to refresh your appearance without surgery. Ideal candidates are those who:

Wish to soften lines, wrinkles, or folds
Want to restore or add natural-looking volume
Prefer subtle enhancements that keep their expression and character intact
Have realistic expectations about what fillers can achieve
Are in good overall health and not pregnant or breastfeeding

During your consultation, Dr. Leong will evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend whether fillers neuromodulators, or another approach may be right for you. Sometimes surgery offers a better long-term solution, but for many patients, dermal fillers in Pittsburgh provide an effective, minimally invasive option with little to no downtime.

Belotero Balance®

Belotero Balance is among the softest and smoothest of all dermal fillers. It is perfect for very fine lines, as it can be successfully injected into the most superficial layers of the skin. A problem that can occur with some fillers, injected very superficially, is that the skin may appear slightly blue – not a problem with Belotero, which is why Dr. Leong may choose this filler for lip lines, to smooth visible tear troughs, or to add subtle facial volume.

BOTOX®

BOTOX is arguably the most popular injectable in the world. Millions of people rely on BOTOX injections to keep facial wrinkles at bay. It is of critical importance that the injections are placed accurately, and with the correct quantity of product. When the injections are performed with meticulous care, the result is very natural in appearance, not frozen. When under the care of Dr. Leong, you can be confident that your injections are being performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a delicate hand, a precise technique, and who is known for achieving superior outcomes.

Dysport®

For some facial areas, Dysport may produce a better result than BOTOX. Every person reacts slightly differently to injectables, and some patients have better results with Dysport, as it is slightly different than BOTOX, in that it does not have certain trace proteins. The idea is to achieve a look that enhances your quality of life, and Dr. Leong is deeply committed to ensuring his patients are very pleased with the results of his work.

Juvéderm®

At Leong Facial Plastic Surgery, we achieve beautiful results with Juvéderm fillers and use various fillers from their line. Each Juvéderm filler was developed to treat specific facial areas. The thickness of the gel determines the appropriate way to use the filler. For fine lines around the mouth, you don’t want a “puffy” look so a thinner gel, Volbella, may be appropriate. To add cheek volume, Voluma is thicker, and injected more deeply, creating a beautiful, subtle, lifting effect.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® was developed with a different approach. While it adds immediate volume, the tiny calcium-based microspheres trigger higher levels of collagen production for long-term firming effects. It is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and can leave aging hands looking fresh and youthful.

Restylane®

Restylane may be selected to smooth lines and wrinkles. It was developed to be an exceptionally smooth, hyaluronic acid-based gel, very soft and flexible. Every filler in the line of products is slightly different, developed to treat specific facial areas. Dr. Leong is known as being a consummate artist with injectables and may choose a Restylane filler to enhance your look. It is FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and can leave aging hands looking fresh and youthful.

Sculptra®

For a more comprehensive level of facial rejuvenation, Sculptra can restore facial volume. Sculptra works by triggering natural collagen production with ply-L-lactic acid. The results of treatment with Sculptra can be a long term improvement in skin quality and firmness.

Kybella™

It is natural for the body to store fat, and unfortunately, for many people, it develops beneath the chin. Kybella is a groundbreaking injectable that melts away under-chin fat. If you are a good candidate for this treatment, you can expect to see the fatty zone beneath your chin slowly melting away in the weeks after your treatment.

Revance RHA

Dr. Paul Leong is the first plastic surgeon in Pittsburgh to offer this groundbreaking HA filler to patients who want to smooth out and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles without the dreaded “frozen” expression.

DAXXIFY

While all frown line treatments contain botulinum toxin A, the protein responsible for helping smooth moderate to severe frown lines, they require a stabilizing ingredient. DAXXIFY is unique because it is the first and only formulation featuring a novel peptide as a stabilizer, meaning it does not contain human or animal byproducts. Without these byproducts, there is less chance of adverse reactions and unsatisfactory results.
