Facial Fillers

Not when it’s done with the right philosophy. The overfilled look that concerns most people is the result of too much product — not the product itself. At Fountain, we treat proportion as the goal. A result that makes you look like a better version of yourself is the standard we hold every appointment to. We’d rather have you come back for more than leave with too much.

Both are hyaluronic acid fillers — the same core ingredient, different formulations. Juvéderm tends to have a softer, more fluid consistency and is often preferred for lips and areas requiring smooth integration. Restylane products are generally firmer and can offer more structural support. In practice, the choice of product depends on the area being treated and your provider’s clinical preference. At Fountain, product selection is part of the treatment plan — not something you need to research in advance.

It depends on the product used and where it’s placed. Lip filler typically lasts 6–12 months. Cheek filler and fillers placed in less mobile areas can last 12–18 months or longer. Over time and with repeat treatments, many patients find their results lasting longer as the product builds on itself. Your provider will give you a specific expectation based on your treatment plan.

Avoid blood thinners — including aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and alcohol — for several days before your appointment if possible, as these increase the likelihood of bruising. Come with a clean face and no makeup. If you have an event coming up, book at least two weeks in advance to allow for full settling.

Swelling, tenderness, and minor bruising at the injection sites are the most common and typically resolve within a few days to a week. Lips tend to swell more noticeably than other areas — this is normal and temporary. Serious complications from filler are rare and significantly less likely when treatment is performed by a trained, experienced provider. We review your health history before every appointment and will flag anything that warrants extra caution.

Both are comprehensive treatments that address multiple areas of the face in a single appointment — but they have different focuses. The Liquid Facelift combines fillers with Botox or Dysport to address volume loss, deep folds, and loss of lift across the whole face. The Triangle of Youth targets the specific structural framework — temples, cheeks, jawline — that defines a youthful facial shape. Think of the Liquid Facelift as a full reset and the Triangle of Youth as a structural restoration. A consultation will help determine which approach fits your goals.
