Aesthetic Injectables and Fat Transfer

The signs of aging can occur at any time.  Excessive sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and lifestyle all contribute to the health and appearance of the skin. Fortunately, there are treatments that help rejuvenate the skin!

Benefits of Fillers

Filler products help to improve the appearance of wrinkles and restore a more youthful, full look in the midface. The benefits of filler products include:

  • reducing the appearance of lines and creases around the mouth and lips
  • lessening deep frown lines
  • improving the appearance of recessed scars
  • plumping thin lips
  • restoring more youthful contours to the cheek and eye areas

Types of Fillers

Dr. JoAn Monaco uses fillers such as:

  • Juvéderm® XC Ultra
  • Juvéderm® XC Ultra Plus
  • Radiesse®
  • Restylane-L®

Alternatively, wome patients may benefit from having their own fat transferred from another part of the body to a facial wrinkle or facial contour defect. Using an injectable filler or a fat transfer technique does not stop the aging process. However, these techniques may benefit patients who prefer non-surgical rejuvenation or who are not surgical candidates.

Dr. Monaco performs all procedures are performed personally.  Results begin to show almost although minor swelling or bruising may occur.  The duration of fat transfer and various fillers is variable, depending on the agent and the patient. Schedule a consultation today to discuss your personal needs and goals!

woman receiving injectables
I typically see Dr. Monaco for Botox, Juvederm and photo-facial treatments. Dr. Monaco is a very knowledgeable, caring and kind surgeon who is as talented as she is artistic. She attentively listens to my concerns and answers all of my questions before performing any procedure. Dr. Monaco makes you feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. She cares about each patient as a person. She feels like a friend. She ALWAYS calls me personally within a few days following any procedure, no matter how small the procedure is, to see how I am doing. She’s also the only doctor that has given me her cell phone number that I’m at liberty to call at anytime in the event I have complications….which I’ve never had. I highly recommend Dr. Monaco.
