When it comes to getting a more youthful appearance, patients have several options to choose from. Two of the most popular methods are dermal fillers and traditional plastic surgery. So, how do you know which one is right for you? At Cassie Lane Aesthetics, our clinician Cassie Lane of Richmond, Virginia, can evaluate you to determine if you are a good fit for dermal fillers and other cosmetic injectables available at her practice. Many patients with mild to moderate signs of aging can benefit from dermal fillers to delay the need for plastic surgery in the near future. Many are happy with the results from these gel-like substances designed to fill and smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and folds throughout the face without surgical interventions.

Comparing dermal fillers with traditional plastic surgeries

Patients may believe their only way of restoring their youth is with a surgical facelift. However, dermal fillers can play an important role in turning back the hands of time without a single incision! Cassie Lane educates patients on the key differences between dermal fillers and plastic surgery to assist patients in making a knowledgeable decision regarding the one most appropriate for their needs:

Dermal fillers:

• Are non-invasive and require no downtime
• Can be used on specific areas where concerns exist, such as wrinkles around the eyes or lips
• Produce results that are temporary, lasting anywhere from 6 months to 2 years

Traditional plastic surgery:

• Is invasive and requires substantial downtime for recovery
• Can address multiple areas of concern all at once
• Produces permanent results

Which one is right for me?

Ultimately, the best way to determine which treatment is proper for you is to consult with a clinician that offers dermal fillers and can compare the two. Cassie Lane will be able to assess your individual goals and help you make an informed decision about which is best. Patients with more severe skin laxity and sagging may be more appropriate candidates for plastic surgery. They will want to ask our team for a referral to a qualified plastic surgeon in the community.
