At Yes Aesthetics in Kansas City, we believe every woman deserves to look and feel her best without guilt, pressure, or apology. Whether you’re a devoted mom, a professional powerhouse, or simply someone seeking a little extra glow, our mission is to help you say YES to your wellness and beauty goals. One of our most sought-after treatments? Dermal fillers.
If you’re new to the world of aesthetic injectables, it’s completely normal to have questions. To help you feel informed and empowered, we’re answering the 10 most common questions we get about dermal filler treatment—from what it is to what to expect after your appointment.
1. What Exactly Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and sculpt facial contours. Unlike botulinum-based treatments that work by relaxing the muscles causing wrinkles, dermal fillers actually fill in areas that have lost volume or elasticity due to aging or other factors.
At Yes Aesthetics, we use only FDA-approved, medical-grade dermal fillers to ensure your results are not just beautiful, but also safe and long-lasting. Our approach emphasizes subtlety and natural-looking enhancements, so you still look like you—just more refreshed.
2. Which Areas Can Be Treated with Fillers?
Dermal fillers are incredibly versatile, making them ideal for targeting a variety of aesthetic concerns. Popular treatment areas include:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (from the corners of your mouth down to the chin)
- Lips (for both plumpness and shape)
- Cheeks and mid-face (to add contour and lift)
- Under-eye hollows
- Jawline and chin (for definition and balance)
Whether you’re looking to subtly enhance your lips or reclaim youthful fullness in your cheeks, our team can create a tailored treatment plan to meet your needs and goals.
3. How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
This is a common question, and the answer varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your own metabolic rate. In general:
- Lip fillers may last around 6–12 months
- Cheek and jawline fillers can last 12–18 months
- Under-eye fillers typically last about 6–9 months
At Yes Aesthetics, we use only the highest-quality, long-lasting products and offer personalized maintenance schedules to keep your look consistent and natural.
4. Are Dermal Fillers Safe?
Absolutely—when administered by trained, licensed professionals. At Yes Aesthetics, safety is always our top priority. Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your medical history, skin condition, and beauty goals. We only use certified, FDA-approved dermal fillers and the latest techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal risk.
Our team of experienced injectors ensures that each procedure is performed with precision and care, so you can feel confident every step of the way.
5. Is the Procedure Painful?
We totally get it—needles aren’t everyone’s favorite. But don’t worry. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or a bit of pressure. We apply numbing cream or lidocaine-based fillers to significantly reduce discomfort, and the entire treatment usually takes less than 30 minutes.
Our calming, supportive environment at Yes Aesthetics helps put even the most nervous first-timers at ease.
6. What’s the Recovery Like After Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers require little to no downtime, which is why they’re often called a “lunchtime procedure.” Right after your appointment, you may notice mild swelling, redness, or slight bruising, which typically resolves in a few days.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions, such as avoiding alcohol, strenuous exercise, and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours. Most clients return to their normal activities immediately, and many see visible results right away, with full results settling in within a week.
7. Who’s a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers can be a fantastic option if you:
- Want to enhance facial volume or definition
- Are in overall good health
- Have realistic expectations about the outcome
- Prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach
During your consultation at Yes Aesthetics, we’ll evaluate your unique facial structure and wellness goals. Our goal? To create a custom treatment plan that’s just as individual as you are.
8. Can Dermal Fillers Be Combined with Other Services?
Yes—and in many cases, we actually recommend it! Dermal fillers can be combined with:
- Botulinum therapy (to smooth dynamic wrinkles)
- IV hydration therapy (to boost internal wellness)
- Medical weight loss programs (like Semaglutide) to enhance overall transformation
At Yes Aesthetics, we take a holistic, inside-out approach to beauty and self-care. When you combine treatments strategically, you not only rejuvenate your appearance—you support your whole-body wellness.
9. Will I Look Overdone or “Fake”?
This concern is totally valid—and you’re not alone in worrying about it. The “overfilled” look is often a result of improper technique or overuse, which is why experience and a natural aesthetic philosophy matter so much.
At Yes Aesthetics, we believe in enhancing—not exaggerating—your natural beauty. Our injectors take a conservative, artistic approach to achieve results that are balanced, youthful, and uniquely YOU.
You’ll never feel pressured to go beyond what feels right, and we’ll work closely with you to ensure you walk out feeling radiant, not artificial.
