Thoughtful Facial Rejuvenation With a Surgeon’s Eye

At Tansavatdi Facial Plastic Surgery, injectables are not approached as a way to change your face, chase trends, or create a “balanced” look based on someone else’s template. They are used thoughtfully, sparingly, and strategically to support the face as it ages. Led by Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, our injectable philosophy is rooted in structural support, facial anatomy, and long-term planning. The goal is not to fill every hollow or add volume everywhere. In fact, too much filler can make the face look heavier, wider, puffier, or more aged over time. Instead, Dr. Tansavatdi takes a nuanced approach to injectable facial rejuvenation. She studies the whole face, considers how each feature has changed, and creates a customized plan that may include Sculptra, hyaluronic acid fillers, wrinkle reducers, PRF, or a combination of treatments depending on your anatomy, goals, and future surgical considerations. The result should look natural, refreshed, and authentic — never overfilled, frozen, or unlike you.

Our Philosophy: Structure Over Filling

Not every sign of facial aging should be treated with filler. As the face ages, changes occur in the skin, fat, bone, ligaments, muscles, and deeper support structures. Volume loss may be part of the picture, but it is rarely the whole story. When filler is used too broadly or too aggressively, it can blur natural contours, weigh down the face, and create fullness that does not truly restore a younger or more rested appearance. This is why Dr. Kristina Tansavatdi does not believe in the popular concept of “facial balancing” as it is often presented in aesthetic medicine.

The face is not a checklist of proportions to correct. It is an expression of identity. At Tansavatdi Facial Plastic Surgery, injectable treatments are used to support the face — not overwhelm it. Dr. Tansavatdi focuses on where structure has changed, where support may be helpful, and where restraint is the most important part of the plan. For some patients, this may mean using Sculptra to gradually encourage collagen support. For others, it may mean using very small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler in highly specific areas. In many cases, the best recommendation may be to avoid filler in certain regions altogether.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are the most common injectables we offer at Tansavatdi Facial Plastic Surgery, and many of our patients use them to restore lost volume, soften deep lines and wrinkles, and refine their facial contours. We offer both Sculptra and the Restylane family of hyaluronic acid fillers to help patients bring their visions for themselves to life.

Specialty

Specialty

Our range of specialty fillers is designed to address specific areas of the face, neck, and chest with an anatomically informed approach, ensuring balance throughout the upper body. Whether we’re performing a non-surgical rhinoplasty or a jawline enhancement, we’ll use an elevated artistic eye to prevent asymmetry and sculpt a harmonious, authentic-looking result.

Wrinkle Reducers

Wrinkle Reducers

Wrinkle reducers, sometimes called neuromodulators, are strategically injected into facial muscles to relax your movements and soften the appearance of deep, dynamic lines. Most often, patients seek wrinkle reducers to target forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, restoring a rested, refreshed look. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through your options and decide which of our available fillers, whether Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau, is best for you.

No-Downtime Recovery to Fit Your Schedule

Recovery after an injectable is typically minimal, with patients experiencing mild redness, swelling, or light bruising at their injection sites for a few days. Most patients return to their daily schedules immediately after their procedure, but you should avoid strenuous exercise, excessive facial pressure, and prolonged sun exposure for up to a week as your filler settles.

A Personalized Post-Treatment Process

After your injection session, our team will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure natural-looking, consistent results. This list may include the following items:

  • Injection site care protocols
  • Sun exposure and protection requirements
  • Activity limitations
  • Skin care and hygiene recommendations
  • Swelling management strategies
  • Side effects to monitor

Most patients do not require follow-up appointments after their injectables, but you may wish to visit us for a check-in if you notice persistent side effects.

Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results

Every injectable treatment is different, but your results will last for 6-24 months. Most patients notice results immediately, creating an instant confidence boost as your facial volume settles and wrinkles fade. While all injectable results are temporary, you can extend their longevity with strategic maintenance treatments and a well-rounded skin care regimen.

Injectables Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which injectable is right for me?

During your initial consultation, Dr. Tansavatdi will get to the root of why you’re exploring injectables and your motivations behind your intended result. After understanding your emotions and your goals, she’ll recommend a targeted plan, whether that includes a single injectable or a combined approach, to achieve your desired look.

Can injectables be combined with surgical treatments?

Yes. Many of our patients use injectable treatments to complement and extend the results of their surgery, especially as the years pass after their procedure. Dr. Tansavatdi will advise you on which injectables are best suited to your surgical history and aesthetic goals.

How soon can I wear makeup after an injection session?

We recommend waiting 24-48 hours before applying makeup. This gives your injection sites time to heal and allows your fillers to begin settling without interference. When you do apply makeup, use a gentle hand and non-irritating products.
