DERMAL FILLERS
in Fort Wayne, IN
in Fort Wayne, IN
Over time, the natural structure of the skin begins to shift. As collagen declines and facial fat redistributes, we often notice lost volume, deeper wrinkles, and less definition in our features. These changes are common, but they can also change how we feel in our own skin.
Facial fillers offer a non-surgical way to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and smooth lines caused by age, movement, or environmental stress. Whether you’re interested in softening nasolabial folds, re-volumizing your cheeks, or giving your lips a subtle boost, injectable fillers are versatile, effective tools for natural-looking refreshment.
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness in Fort Wayne, we take a thoughtful, full-face approach to dermal filler procedures. Led by a board-certified physician, each treatment is customized to your features and goals.
Dermal (or soft tissue) fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume, soften lines, and create smoother, more contoured facial features. The most common type of filler is made with hyaluronic acid (HA, a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that helps retain hydration and elasticity.
As we age, we lose connective tissues, fat, and collagen, especially in areas like the cheeks, lips, and around the mouth. This can lead to visible skin folds, wrinkles, and flattening of once-lifted areas. Injectable dermal fillers offer non-surgical soft tissue augmentation, gently replacing volume in these areas and supporting a more balanced, youthful appearance.
Other types of filler options include calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and poly-L-lactic acid fillers, both used for deeper folds or longer-lasting results.
At Lilivy, we use only FDA-approved dermal filler products, each selected for its safety profile and performance. All filler injections are performed by medically trained professionals who understand both the science of injectables and the art of natural-looking enhancement.
Every dermal filler treatment at Lilivy begins with a detailed consultation. We’ll discuss your medical history, aesthetic goals, and the areas where you’re noticing volume loss, wrinkles, or asymmetry. From there, we’ll create a treatment plan personalized to your face, lifestyle, and comfort level.
Before we inject dermal fillers, we may apply a numbing cream or use fillers that contain lidocaine to ease discomfort. The actual procedure involves a series of small, precise injections into targeted soft tissue layers. Most sessions take 30–45 minutes.
After treatment, you may notice mild swelling or tenderness around the injection site. These effects typically fade within a few days. We'll provide you with post-treatment instructions to support healing and optimal results.
Dermal fillers are used to treat deeper wrinkles, replenish lost volume, and enhance or refine natural facial features. Common treatment areas include:
Fillers may also be used as an alternative to or in combination with fat grafting, especially in areas needing volume replacement or long-term structure.
The benefits of injectable fillers go far beyond surface appearance. For many, it’s about regaining a sense of balance, confidence, and comfort in their reflection. With immediate results and no surgery required, dermal filler injections are one of the most effective and accessible ways to address signs of aging.
You’ll notice restored volume in areas that once felt hollow, smoother transitions between your features, and softer lines where skin once appeared creased or sagged. Because fillers work with your own anatomy, they enhance rather than alter your appearance.
We also take care to support facial harmony, often recommending a conservative layering approach. And because most HA fillers are reversible, you can make adjustments as needed, adding another layer of safety and flexibility. When performed thoughtfully, dermal filler injections offer long-lasting, confidence-building results that feel effortless.
Most adults looking to smooth fine lines, restore facial volume, or enhance facial contours are good candidates for dermal filler injections. Whether you’re noticing changes due to aging, weight loss, or simply want to refine your appearance, we’ll help you decide if fillers are the right fit.
Ideal candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. It's also important to let us know about any history of allergic reactions, medical conditions, or previous cosmetic procedures, including facial fat grafting or plastic surgery.
During your consultation, we’ll walk through all your options, including different types of filler, your expected results, and aftercare guidelines.
Recovery after filler injections is quick and easy, and most people resume normal activities the same day. You may notice slight swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the injection sites, but these effects are temporary.
Cool compresses can help ease any discomfort. We’ll advise avoiding alcohol, blood thinners, and intense physical activity for 24–48 hours after your appointment. Skipping makeup near the treated areas and pausing other skin treatments for a few days will also help your results settle beautifully.
You’ll see improvement immediately after your filler treatment, with the treatment area appearing fuller, smoother, and more defined. Over the next few days, swelling will subside and the product will fully integrate into your soft tissue for a natural finish.
The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and how your body metabolizes the product. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6–12 months, while CaHA fillers and poly-L-lactic acid can last up to 12–24 months.
Many clients choose to schedule maintenance appointments every 9–12 months to keep their results fresh. We’ll guide you on how to maintain your look in a way that fits your lifestyle.

Yes, especially when using structural fillers like CaHA or poly-L-lactic acid, which work well as wrinkle fillers for deeper wrinkles. Your provider will recommend the best type of dermal fillers for your needs.
When administered by trained professionals, dermal filler injections are very safe. We use only FDA-approved products and carefully screen for medical conditions that could cause adverse events during your consultation. Adverse events are rare but may include allergic reaction, skin necrosis, or lumpiness if fillers are not placed correctly, which is why it’s essential to seek treatment from medically trained providers. At Lilivy, every cosmetic medical procedure is approached with safety, precision, and your well-being in mind.
HA fillers like Juvederm are soft, reversible, and best for the lips, under-eyes, and fine lines. CaHA fillers, such as Radiesse, are firmer and are ideal for rebuilding structure in areas like the cheeks and jawline.
For some, yes, especially in the early stages of aging. While dermal fillers can’t replace surgical lifting, they can delay or reduce the need for plastic surgery in many cases.
