Fillers, in this context, are several injectable substances that are FDA-approved. They fall into several classes or categories, such as temporary and semi-permanent. Dr. Fedok generally uses a small number of injectable filling substances – hyaluronic fillers, autogenous fat and poly–L–lactic acid. The hyaluronic fillers used at Fedok Plastic Surgery include the Restylane line of fillers. The most commonly used poly–L– lactic acid filler is Sculptra. Autogenous fat is derived from the patient.
The use of these groups of fillers allows Dr. Fedok to provide augmentation to a variety of locations of a patient’s anatomy. They are used primarily in the face but can be used in other areas of anatomy. Dr. Fedok will use facial fillers regionally to augment such areas as the lips, the cheeks, and the jawline.
