FLL Filler Injections
Procedure Fillers are used to fill up facial depressions such as the nasolabial folds or tear troughs or to enlarge lips or cheeks. I use biocompatible hyaluronic acid-based fillers (=Restylane), which get naturally absorbed within 6-18 months. They can be dissolved early with an injection (=hyaluronidase) if needed.
