Short clip of Robert Whitfield MD explaining his approach to facial volumizing with dermal fillers. He advises using fillers only after skin has been (or is) tight enough, warns against over-volumization, and states a clear preference for hyaluronic acid fillers because they are reversible — especially important for new patients who may want subtle changes or reversal after treatment.
So volumizing agents. Are fillers a filler? As it relates to my practice and my personal preferences on this are I use fillers to volumize once I believe the skin has been tightened or is tight enough. I do not like over volumization, and I specifically prefer to use a hyaluronic acid filler. The reason is reversible. I don't like to use anything, especially on a new patient, that's not reversible because they may have never had filler. They may really want a subtle change. In fact, after it's done, even though it was according to their preferences, they may not like it and want it reversed. And that can be done with hyaluronic acid filter.
