Radiesse® dermal filler is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® dermal filler is the ideal choice for total facial contouring. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, help you defy age and gravity, and increase your confidence - all without invasive plastic surgery or scarring.
Radiesse® dermal filler works with your own body in a remarkable way. Upon injection, it immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. And unlike other fillers, Radiesse® dermal filler continues to work over time. Radiesse® dermal filler actually helps your body create its own naturally younger look, setting a new standard in facial contouring and augmentation.
Dr. Pautler's plastic surgery practice uses Radiesse® for wrinkle correction in the lower face except the lips. Her favorite use for this product is to augment cheeks and chins and jawlines. She has even used it to conceal a hump on a nose! It is ideal as a volume enhancer, and can deliver results in some patients that are comparable to using facial implants.
Radiesse® dermal filler has been clinically tested extensively for years, with excellent safety and efficacy results. It has received CE mark certification, two FDA approvals, and a number of FDA clearances. RADIESSE® dermal filler is made from a biocompatible substance that's identical to what's naturally found in the body. There's virtually no risk of allergic reaction, and there have been very few side effects reported in clinical trials and actual use.
Treatment with Radiesse® dermal filler is simple and convenient, it can be performed during a lunch hour. You'll see the results right away - and these results may last up to a year or more for many patients. The long-lasting effects of RADIESSE® dermal filler can reduce the need for retreatment, which saves you time and money compared with other fillers.

As we age, our skin changes. Over time, the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form. But, with JuvédermT injectable gel, you don't have to just sit back and let it happen!
Juvederm UltraT and Juvederm Ultra PlusT are also viable options. Juvederm UltraT is excellent filler for the lower face. Its longevity has made it a favorite among patients. The Ultra PlusT version is more viscous and needs a slightly larger needle, so Dr. Pautler uses it in thicker skinned areas.
JuvédermT is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Dr. Pautler eases JuvédermT injectable gel under the skin to instantly restore your skin's volume and smooth away facial wrinkles and folds, like your "smile lines" or "parentheses" (nasolabial folds-the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth).
JuvédermT provides a smooth, natural look and feel-so everyone will notice (but no one will know)! JuvédermT injectable gel is the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is proven to be safe and effective for persons of color.
Because JuvédermT injectable gel is a simple, nonsurgical wrinkle treatment, there is minimal recovery or downtime. So you can make an appointment to stop by the office for treatment on the way home from work or the gym, or even while the kids are at soccer practice-and get right back to your life
During your visit Dr. Pautler examines the soft tissue of your face to assess the depth of wrinkles and folds to determine your treatment. Juvéderm Ultra PlusT is a robust formulation for volumizing and correcting deeper folds and wrinkles. The different gel formulations allow Dr. Pautler to better tailor treatment to your unique needs. The procedure is quick and easy. The injection itself usually takes only about 15 minutes.
There is immediate improvement in the treatment areas. Most patients need one treatment to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing. And one treatment could smooth your lines and wrinkles for up to 1 year. However, results may vary and correction is temporary. Supplemental "touch up" treatments may be required to achieve and maintain optimal results. To learn more about nonsurgical procedures like the JuvedermT products contact Dr. Pautler at her plastic surgery office where she offers cosmetic surgery services near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Restylane® is used to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and folds around the nose, mouth, and surrounding areas. Restylane® is an injectable filler made of hyaluronic acid. Restylane® combats wrinkles and fine lines by "filling in" your facial imperfections, and is also ideal for lip augmentation. Restylane® results may last up to six months and are most effective when frequently reapplied.
Restylane® products are cosmetic dermal fillers that replace lost volume and restore youthful contours to the skin to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).
Dr. Pautler uses Restylane® in all facial areas and lips. It is her preferred filler for the delicate lower eyelid area near the nose called the "tear tough". Perlane® is a slightly thicker product ideal for the lower face and to fill lips.
Restylane® and Perlane® are made of hyaluronic acid. In the human body, natural hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane® and Perlane® has been modified slightly to last longer than the body's hyaluronic acid. Restylane® and Perlane® contain no animal proteins. This limits any risk of animal-based disease transmission or allergic reactions. No allergy testing is required before use.
Restylane® and Perlane® are FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). Restylane® has been used in over 70 countries and in more than 1.4 million treatments in the U.S. Perlane® has been used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide since 2000. To learn more about nonsurgical procedures like Restylane® and Perlane® contact Dr. Pautler at her plastic surgery officewhere she offers cosmetic surgery services near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

It is not unusual for Dr. Pautler to use all three filler types (Radiesse®,
Restylane®, and JuverdermT) in a single patient to target different wrinkles, folds, or volume depleted areas. In addition, botox can enhance with careful selection of muscle relaxation. Although not a substitute for surgery, fillers and botox can give wonderful results that are easy to maintain. They can complement any surgical procedure as well. Many patients start with fillers and botox in their mid thirties, and increase their usage in small incremements to powerfully maintain a more youthful
refreshed appearance as they grow older (but don't look it!). Combined with excellent skin care, lots of sleep, avoidance of sun, and lots of water, fillers and botox are extremely effective anti-aging nonsurgical ways to keep you looking your best!
Collagen injections are used to enhance the lips; to camouflage wrinkles and scars of the cheeks, chin, and mouth; and to soften nasolabial folds. These in-office nonsurgical procedures are quick, with virtually no downtime, and require a topical and/or local anesthetic. Sometimes a skin test is needed prior to the injection of collagen to screen for any allergy to the product.

OBAGI® BLUE PEEL
The Obagi® Blue Peel is performed by Dr. Pautler in her plastic surgery office and involves a down-time of about 7 to 10 days. Each layer slowly penetrates the skin complexion, so the depth of the peel can be very selective, ranging from a light exfoliation to a deeper level for more dramatic results. Aged and damaged skin cells are denatured and over the next few days, "peel" off as healthy new cells come to the surface.
The peel is effective for problem complexions such as aged and sun-damaged skin, acne scars, freckles and hyperpigmentation. For normal complexions, it can be used for healthy exfoliation. If you are interested in cosmetic nonsurgical procedures like the Obagi® Blue Peel, contact Dr. Pautler's plastic surgery office for a consultation.
Fat transfers come to mind for people with thin, wrinkled lips as well as the loss of precious fat. Dr. Pautler can restore fullness to the lips, cheeks, and other areas of the face with fine, precise injections of your own fat.

All skin care products and services are performed under the direction of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Only the finest skin care formulations are used with the latest most sophisticated techniques. We strive to exceed your expectations whenever possible.
