Expert Facial Refinement From Dr. Robb

Dr. Philip K. Robb Jr. is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon whose entire practice centers on the face and neck. Many Brookhaven patients make the easy drive north on GA 400 to his Alpharetta office for injectable treatment backed by surgical-level knowledge of facial anatomy.

As a surgeon who performs the Deep Plane Facelift, rhinoplasty, and eyelid surgery, Dr. Robb sees firsthand how facial structures shift with time. His injector team uses that understanding to restore lost support in a balanced way, so results look rested and natural rather than filled.

Dermal Filler Basics

Dermal fillers are injectable gels that restore volume under the skin. That added volume helps with:

  • Lifting hollows
  • Smoothing lines
  • Softening folds

At Robb Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA). The FDA explains that this naturally occurring sugar in skin swells when it binds with water, producing a smoothing effect.

HA fillers deliver visible results the same day by hydrating tissue and adding gentle volume. The practice's filler lineup includes:

  • Juvéderm collection: Silky HA gels that restore volume while staying soft.
  • Restylane collection: Versatile HA gels suited to customized contouring.
  • Belotero: A smooth HA filler for delicate areas.
  • Radiesse: A calcium hydroxylapatite filler that also prompts new collagen.

Different Types of Dermal Fillers

Filler formulations vary widely, and choosing the right one is central to a natural result. Key differences include:

  • Gel thickness and firmness
  • How flexibly the product moves with facial expression
  • Duration of results
  • Whether the filler offers lift and structure or soft blending
  • Which facial areas it treats best

For example, thin, pliable gels are preferred where the skin is delicate. Denser gels are chosen when deeper contours need rebuilding.

Advantages of Dermal Fillers

  • Seamless blending with facial tissue
  • Enhancement that looks natural
  • Improvement you can see immediately
  • Flexibility to adjust treatment over time
  • Little to no downtime
  • The option to dissolve HA fillers with hyaluronidase if needed
  • Longevity of roughly 6 to 18 months for most HA fillers, based on product, area, metabolism, and movement

Restylane Fillers for Customized Results

Restylane offers a range of HA fillers with a slightly firmer, more textured feel, giving Dr. Robb's team precise control when shaping and rejuvenating the face. Each product is designed for a targeted area while keeping expressions natural.

Restylane for Lips and the Mouth Area

  • Restylane Kysse: Delivers soft, flexible lip volume that moves naturally.
  • Restylane Silk: Smooths fine lines around the mouth and improves lip texture.
  • Restylane-L: Increases lip fullness and softens facial folds.

Restylane for Cheeks and Midface

  • Restylane Contour: Shapes the cheeks and defines the midface.
  • Restylane Lyft: Replaces deeper volume loss in the cheeks and midface.

Restylane for Wrinkles and Folds

  • Restylane Refyne: Softens moderate lines, including laugh lines and marionette lines.
  • Restylane Defyne: Treats deeper laugh lines and adds support to the chin and jawline.

Juvéderm Fillers for Soft, Smooth Volume

Juvéderm products feature silky HA gels that add natural-looking volume while staying pliable. The collection covers a wide range of facial concerns.

Juvéderm for Lips and the Mouth Area

  • Juvéderm Ultra: Plumps the lips and softens fine facial lines.
  • Juvéderm Volbella: Adds subtle volume and definition to the lips and smooths fine perioral lines.

Juvéderm for Wrinkles and Folds

  • Juvéderm Ultra Plus: A more robust gel for deeper lines and wrinkles.
  • Juvéderm Vollure: Softens moderate to severe folds, such as nasolabial folds.

Juvéderm for Cheeks, Chin, and Temples

  • Juvéderm Voluma: Replenishes age-related cheek volume, enhances the chin profile, and carries FDA approval for moderate to severe temple hollowing.

Belotero and Radiesse

Two additional fillers round out the practice's options, one designed for fine surface lines and the other for deeper structural support.

Belotero is a soft, lightweight HA filler that integrates evenly into thin skin for delicate refinement. Dr. Robb's team often uses it for:

  • Fine wrinkles and etched lines
  • The under-eye area
  • Lines around the mouth
  • Subtle contour refinement
  • Superficial wrinkle correction

Radiesse combines immediate volume with collagen stimulation, thanks to its calcium hydroxylapatite base. Patients value it for:

  • Results that often last a year or longer for many patients
  • Strong structural support for deeper contouring
  • Ongoing improvement as collagen builds
  • Effective correction of deep folds and volume loss
  • A larger syringe than many HA fillers

Common Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers

Fillers can address hollowing, flattening, and creasing across much of the face, typically with minimal downtime. Frequently treated areas include:

  • Tear troughs beneath the eyes
  • Cheeks and midface
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Chin and jawline
  • Temples
  • Minor nose irregularities, via liquid rhinoplasty
  • Lips and perioral lines

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Good candidates for dermal fillers want to restore volume, soften folds, or improve facial contours without an operation. Most candidates:

  • Are at least 22 years old, in line with FDA approvals for dermal fillers
  • Prefer subtle, natural-looking improvement
  • Hold realistic expectations
  • Enjoy good general health
  • Are not allergic to filler ingredients like lidocaine

Your Dermal Filler Experience, Step by Step

Consultation

Every plan begins with a personal discussion of your concerns and goals. From there, Dr. Robb or one of his injectors will study:

  • Your facial structure and proportions
  • Skin quality
  • Areas of volume loss
  • Your health history, medications, and supplements, to confirm that filler is a safe choice

Pricing varies with the filler chosen, the number of syringes, and the treatment areas. The practice helps patients manage costs through the Robb VIP Membership, Alle and ASPIRE rewards, and CareCredit financing.

Injection Appointment

Your injector places the selected fillers in precise areas to add volume, smooth lines, and refine contours. Most formulas include lidocaine for comfort. Depending on your goals, several injections or syringes may be advised.

Recovery and Results

Normal activities can typically resume the same day. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or firmness may appear near the injection sites and usually settle within several days. Helpful aftercare steps include:

  • Using cool compresses
  • Taking over-the-counter arnica if recommended
  • Skipping strenuous workouts for 24 hours
  • Keeping pressure off treated areas

As swelling fades, your results become smoother and more refined.

How long do dermal fillers last?

What are the risks and side effects of dermal fillers?

Will my filler results look natural?

When will I see results from fillers?

Do any fillers stimulate collagen?

Can I combine fillers with other treatments?

What is the best age to start dermal fillers?

Will fillers feel lumpy or hard?

How often should I get filler touch-ups?

Can fillers improve acne scars?

Yes, for certain scar types. Juvéderm and similar fillers can raise rolling and boxcar scars by adding volume beneath the skin, which evens out skin texture.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Duration varies by product and area. HA fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane generally last 6 to 18 months, and collagen-stimulating options like Radiesse and Sculptra often last longer.

What are the risks and side effects of dermal fillers?

Swelling, redness, and bruising are the most common side effects and are usually short-lived. According to the FDA, the most concerning risk is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. This is uncommon but can lead to tissue damage or vision changes, so choosing a skilled injector is essential.

Will my filler results look natural?

They should. Today's techniques emphasize restoring structure and balance rather than adding excess volume. Conservative treatment by an experienced injector produces refined results that suit your face.

When will I see results from fillers?

Results appear right away. Minor swelling may briefly affect the appearance of the area, and the final result is typically clear within several days.

Do any fillers stimulate collagen?

Yes. Radiesse adds immediate volume and then encourages natural collagen production, supporting skin quality and longer-lasting structure.

Can I combine fillers with other treatments?

Yes. Fillers are commonly combined with BOTOX, Dysport, XEOMIN, laser rejuvenation, microneedling, chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare.

What is the best age to start dermal fillers?

The FDA approves dermal fillers for adults 22 and older. Past that point, the right time depends on the individual, whether that means preventive maintenance or correcting age-related volume loss.

Will fillers feel lumpy or hard?

Modern fillers are designed to feel soft and natural after healing. Brief firmness may occur early on but typically resolves as the product settles.

How often should I get filler touch-ups?

Touch-up timing depends on the product, area, metabolism, and aesthetic goals. Many patients return periodically to maintain consistent results.

Complementary Treatments to Consider

Filler works well on its own, but pairing it with other treatments can address multiple signs of aging. Options at the practice include:
