If you're considering dermal fillers in the San Francisco Bay Area...


Your own body also produces fat that might be transferred to enhance facial features. It can fill deep creases and build up shallow contours. Using your body fat is a more elaborate process, since it requires liposuction. Bay area plastic surgery clinics widely offer this procedure. The results can last up to a year or more.

The Best Candidates for Injectable Fillers


If you think injectable fillers would improve your appearance, you should consider the following:

  • Do you have any medical conditions that could impair healing from the the injection of dermal fillers?
  • Are you a non-smoker?
  • Are you committed to proper nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, including moderate amounts of physical exercise?
  • Can you fully disclose your health history to Dr. Mosser, including current medications, your use of vitamin and herbal supplements, as well as your use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs?
  • Can you discuss any history with injectable fillers, facial shaping and rejuvenation, or Botox? San Francisco face lift clinics can provide Dr. Mosser with your medical records upon your authorization.

Injection Specifics—What You Can Expect from a Filler

Dr. Mosser performs injectable filler procedures in several locations in San Francisco. Plastic surgery procedures may be scheduled for his office at 450 Sutter in Union Square, as well as California Pacific Medical Center, and St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.

Dr. Mosser will evaluate your skin tone and areas of your face to be augmented with injectable fillers. He will identify strategic points on your face as guides to the appropriate injection sites. The sites are then cleansed with an antibacterial agent. Icing is applied (or a topical numbing agent, in some cases). Quite often, the filler substance also includes a numbing agent.

Though the whole process is quick—often requiring only a few moments—some procedures may take longer. Soft tissue augmentation of the lips, for example, requires multiple injections to distribute the filler. This enhances the fullness of the lips and can raise or define a cupid’s bow. Likewise, filling wrinkles or recessed scars involves multiple injections.
