Dermal filler injections have become one of the most popular cosmetic solutions for restoring facial volume and youthfulness without the need for complex surgery. They help rebalance facial features and give the skin a fresher, more vibrant appearance. Whether the goal is lip augmentation, enhancing cheek contours, or correcting volume loss in multiple areas, dermal fillers provide immediate and natural-looking results.
With advancements in techniques and the use of safe, absorbable materials, fillers have become a quick and comfortable option for many individuals. Here, Dr. Sary Rabah stands out for delivering precise results tailored to your facial features, enhancing your natural beauty through his extensive expertise and skill.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances placed beneath the skin to fill wrinkles, lift sunken areas, and restore lost volume and fullness that naturally diminishes with age.
Most fillers are made from natural substances such as hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body and helps attract moisture and hydrate the skin, giving it a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are commonly used for lip enhancement, cheek contouring, filling acne scars, and correcting wrinkles around the mouth and nose. They offer immediate results that can last from several months up to a year, depending on the type of filler used.
Benefits of Dermal Filler Injections
Dermal filler injections are among the most widely performed cosmetic procedures due to their quick results and non-surgical nature. Key benefits include:
- Restoring facial volume and fullness, especially in areas like the cheeks and lips that lose volume with age.
- Filling wrinkles and fine lines such as smile lines and perioral wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin.
- Enhancing facial features and improving symmetry, such as lifting the cheeks or defining the jawline and chin naturally.
- Immediate, natural-looking results with no lengthy downtime.
- Improved skin hydration due to hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture and boosts skin radiance.
- A simple, non-surgical procedure that can be performed in the clinic within minutes.
- Adjustable and reversible results, as additional filler can be added or dissolved if the patient is not satisfied.
When Do Facial Filler Results Appear?
Facial filler results appear immediately after injection, with noticeable volume enhancement and wrinkle improvement right away. However, the final results become more apparent after 3 to 7 days, once mild swelling or bruising subsides and excess filler settles.
Some types of dermal fillers may take longer to fully integrate into the tissues, especially when injected into deeper layers or sculpted areas such as the jawline or chin. During this time, facial features adapt to the new volume, resulting in a more balanced and natural appearance.

My Experience with Cheek Fillers
One woman shares her experience with dermal filler injections:
“My experience with cheek fillers with Dr. Sary Rabah was exceptional. From the initial consultation, I felt a high level of professionalism and genuine care. The doctor listened carefully to my concerns and explained every step clearly and transparently.
The procedure itself was quick and painless thanks to topical anesthesia and advanced techniques.

After the injection, Dr. Sary provided valuable aftercare advice and followed up closely to ensure the results had stabilized.”
