Facial Fillers in Albany NY
Juvederm, RHA, Evolysse & Dermal Fillers in Albany NY
Natural-Looking Dermal Fillers for Volume, Contour, Lips, Cheeks & Jawline.
Facial fillers are injectable gel treatments used to restore lost volume, soften deeper folds, improve facial contour, and refine areas such as the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, smile lines, and selected under-eye hollows. At DeLuca Plastic Surgery, filler treatment is planned around facial anatomy, movement, proportion, and natural-looking results — not simply “adding volume.”
We primarily use Juvederm, RHA fillers from Revance, and Evolysse — selected based on how your face moves, the area being treated, and the level of structure, softness, or flexibility needed.

Treatment Options
Facial Filler Options: Juvederm, RHA, Revance, and Evolysse
Juvederm, RHA fillers from Revance, and Evolysse fillers vary in thickness, flexibility, lift capacity, softness, and ideal depth of placement. Choosing the right filler matters as much as choosing the right area.
Juvederm
Juvederm fillers may be used when structure, contour, lift, or reliable volume restoration is needed, depending on the specific product and treatment area.
RHA / Revance
RHA fillers are designed for dynamic facial areas where expression and movement matter, helping soften folds while preserving a more natural look.
Evolysse
Evolysse is a newer-generation filler option used for natural-looking balance, softness, and tissue integration in selected patients.

Eye Contour & Brow Support
Filler around the eyes: softening hollows and contour irregularities
Small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler can camouflage selected hollows, folds, and uneven transitions around the eyes. Depending on your anatomy, treatment may involve the brow tissue above the upper eyelid, a tear-trough hollow, or the transition from the lower eyelid to the cheek. The aim is a smoother contour without making the area look heavy or puffy.
Not every upper-eyelid fold is excess skin. In people with naturally prominent eyes, the folds may include skin needed for comfortable eyelid closure. Removing that skin can make closure more difficult and expose more of the eyelid, accentuating the forward eye position. When appropriate, conservative filler in the brow tissue above the eyelid may soften the fold while preserving that skin. This is different from treating a true hollow upper eyelid, sometimes called an A-frame deformity.
Filler does not remove protruding eyelid fat or correct every cause of dark circles, loose skin, or swelling. It can worsen persistent puffiness, so the examination must assess eye position, brow support, eyelid closure, skin quality, and any previous filler before treatment is recommended. Compare eyelid surgery and nonsurgical options.
These delicate areas require conservative planning and an experienced medical injector. Some uses around the eyes are off-label, depending on the product and location. Risks include prolonged swelling, visible or uneven filler, and rare blood-vessel blockage that can cause skin injury or vision loss.
Lip Shape & Balance
Lip filler in Albany NY: shape, definition, and natural-looking fullness.
Lip enhancement can mean restoring volume lost with age, defining the lip border or Cupid’s bow, improving selected asymmetry, or adding modest fullness. We assess your lips at rest and when you smile, along with the surrounding facial proportions and any previous filler. The goal is a change that fits your face and feels comfortable to you.
Choosing the product and amount
Lip filler is usually a hyaluronic acid gel. The specific formulation matters: products within the same brand have different approved uses and properties. Juvederm offers formulations for lip enhancement; we select a product suited to the lip tissue, desired softness, and treatment goal. A product used in the cheeks or facial folds is not automatically the right choice for the lips.
Some patients need one syringe or less; others are better served by a staged plan. A smaller amount can be a reasonable starting point. We reassess after swelling settles before deciding whether more would help. Tell us about prior injections, lumps, migration, and cold sores before treatment.
Lip filler
Adds volume and can refine shape, border definition, and balance. It is often the more direct option when fullness is the main goal.
Lip flip
Uses a small amount of neuromodulator to relax selected upper-lip muscle fibers, allowing more of the lip to show. It does not add filler volume. The effect is temporary and can briefly affect drinking, pursing, or other lip movements. This is an off-label use.
Some patients benefit from one treatment, some from a combination, and some from neither. Learn about Botox and lip-flip treatment planning.
Swelling, settling, and maintenance
Expect possible swelling, tenderness, bruising, and temporary unevenness. The immediate result includes swelling and should not guide a decision to add more. Allow about two to four weeks for a settled assessment; reactions can last longer depending on the product and individual response. Leave recovery time before important events and follow your injector’s aftercare instructions.
Lip filler is temporary. Certain Juvederm lip products can last up to one year with optimal treatment, but your maintenance interval may differ. Review the remaining filler, shape, and movement before a top-up rather than automatically adding the same amount on a fixed schedule.
Contact us promptly for worsening symptoms. Unusual or severe pain, pale or dusky skin, or vision changes need urgent assessment; seek emergency care for vision symptoms.
How much does lip filler cost?
Our current published starting price for Juvederm, RHA, and Evolysse filler treatments is $800 and up. Your lip-treatment quote depends on the selected product, amount, and plan. Review current injectable pricing and confirm your estimate before treatment.
Pricing & Syringes
Facial filler pricing depends on product, area, and how much correction is needed.
Fillers are usually priced by syringe. The number of syringes depends on anatomy, treatment area, product choice, prior filler history, and whether the goal is subtle refinement or more noticeable contour change.
Often 1 syringe or less depending on goals and starting anatomy
Often 1–2 syringes depending on depth and facial support
Often 1–3 syringes depending on volume loss and desired lift
Often requires more product when structural change is the goal
These are general planning ranges, not a quote. Your recommendation may be higher or lower depending on your anatomy and goals.
Recovery & Timeline
What to expect after facial filler treatment
Most patients return to normal activity quickly after facial filler treatment. Swelling, tenderness, redness, and bruising can occur, especially in the lips, under-eye area, or areas treated with deeper structural filler.
Same Day
Expect immediate change, with possible swelling, redness, or tenderness.
First Week
Swelling and bruising generally improve. Lips and under-eye areas may take longer to settle.
2–4 Weeks
Results look more settled and balanced as swelling decreases.
Months Later
Maintenance timing depends on product type, treatment area, metabolism, and goals.
Honest Guidance
When facial fillers may not be the right choice.
Who may not be a good candidate?
Filler may not be ideal for patients with active infection, certain medical risks, unrealistic expectations, or concerns mainly caused by loose skin rather than volume loss.
When treatment may not be worth it
If significant skin laxity, jowls, neck looseness, or eyelid heaviness is the main issue, surgery may provide a more appropriate correction than additional filler.
Risk Transparency
What can go wrong — and why anatomy matters.
Facial fillers are common, but they still require medical judgment. Possible risks include bruising, swelling, tenderness, asymmetry, lumps, contour irregularity, overfilling, undercorrection, infection, vascular compromise, skin injury, or need for dissolving or adjustment.
Careful planning helps reduce risk by considering blood vessel anatomy, product selection, injection depth, dose, prior filler history, and whether filler is truly the right treatment.
Bruising & Swelling
Common and usually temporary, but can be more noticeable in lips and under-eye areas.
Lumps or Irregularity
May occur from swelling, product placement, or tissue response. Assessment determines whether adjustment is needed.
Vascular Risk
Rare but serious. This is why facial anatomy, conservative dosing, and appropriate technique matter.

Facial Fillers FAQ
Can filler be dissolved?
Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase when medically appropriate. Not every filler type can be reversed the same way, and correction has its own risks.
How do I know whether I need filler or Botox?
Filler adds volume or contour; Botox and Jeuveau reduce selected muscle movement. Your assessment identifies whether a line comes mainly from movement, lost support, skin change, or a combination.
Will I need a full syringe in every area?
Not necessarily. The amount depends on your anatomy, the chosen product, prior filler, and the intended change. A syringe is a unit of product, not a requirement to use all of it in one area.
Should I judge my filler result immediately?
The first appearance includes swelling and may look uneven. Let the treated area settle and attend the recommended review before deciding whether more product is needed.
What should I tell my injector about previous treatment?
Bring the product names, treated areas, approximate dates, and any previous reactions if available. Tell us about permanent or unknown fillers, relevant medical conditions, allergies, and medications before treatment.
Which symptoms after filler need urgent attention?
Unusual or severe pain, pale or dusky skin, or vision changes require urgent assessment. Seek emergency care for vision changes or stroke symptoms and notify the treating clinician immediately.
