Refresh Your Features, Not Your Identity

Whether you're hoping to lift tired cheeks, soften the appearance of under-eye hollows, or define your lips with a gentle curve, our team crafts every filler session around your natural facial structure. Guided by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Traci Temmen, our injectors offer a boutique experience grounded in anatomical expertise and aesthetic restraint.
Dermal fillers are injectable dermal fillers made from materials like hyaluronic acid or poly-L-lactic acid. These substances help restore volume, reduce fine lines, and refine facial features. Most commonly, we use hyaluronic acid-based fillers because they naturally occur in the body, are safe, and produce natural-looking results with minimal discomfort. As we age, we lose facial volume and collagen, which leads to sagging skin, fine lines, and a loss of youthful contours. Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive procedure designed to improve skin texture, add volume, and restore youthful contours without surgery.
At our Tampa, FL practice, dermal fillers are used to address a wide range of facial aesthetics concerns. We treat nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and deep lines that form from repetitive facial expressions or excessive sun exposure. Cheek and midface treatments can reduce the appearance of sagging skin and create more youthful contours. Under-eye filler can soften shadows, while jawline definition and chin enhancement help improve facial balance and correct facial asymmetry. Lip filler is also popular for enhancing thin lips and improving overall facial harmony.
Dermal fillers in Tampa are suitable for healthy adults looking to restore a youthful appearance, reduce fine lines, and enhance their facial features without surgery. This includes those hoping to correct facial asymmetry, add volume, or replace lost collagen due to aging or environmental factors like sun damage. Whether you're new to injectable fillers or looking to refine previous treatments, our team will help you build a plan that fits your goals.
No two faces are alike—and at Temmen Plastic Surgery, we treat them that way. Every filler treatment is designed with precision, restraint, and a deep understanding of facial balance. Under Dr. Temmen’s direction, our team uses advanced techniques to enhance your features in a way that looks seamless and intentional. We’re not here to follow filler fads or create volume for volume’s sake. Our approach is measured and personalized, with one goal: to bring out your best features while keeping your results soft, subtle, and unmistakably you.
We offer a curated selection of FDA-approved dermal filler products, including Juvéderm, Restylane, RHA, and Revanesse. These hyaluronic acid-based fillers are chosen based on your treatment area and desired result. For patients seeking deeper collagen stimulation, we may recommend a poly-L-lactic acid filler like Sculptra. Each option provides distinct benefits depending on your goals whether it's to smooth wrinkles, restore facial volume, or enhance facial features. All our injectable fillers are selected to ensure a natural-looking appearance and optimal treatment outcomes.
Your visit begins with a consultation where we evaluate your facial contours, skin texture, and treatment goals. We then create a customizable treatment plan specific to your needs. Before injecting, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. We use a fine needle and gentle technique to ensure a smooth experience. Most appointments last around 30 to 45 minutes, and many patients report only minimal discomfort. Because this is a minimally invasive procedure, you can typically return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Dermal filler results vary based on the product and area treated. Lip fillers may last around six to nine months, while cheek and jawline fillers can last 12 to 24 months. HA-based fillers used in areas like the under-eye or nasolabial folds typically last up to a year. Fillers used to improve skin texture and facial volume can offer long-lasting improvement when part of a consistent maintenance routine. You’ll receive personalized guidance on how to schedule touch-ups for the most natural-looking results.
Every cosmetic procedure carries some level of risk—even those as minimally invasive as injectable fillers. Most patients experience nothing more than mild swelling, tenderness, or a small bruise that fades within a few days. In the rare event of a more serious complication, like vascular occlusion, it’s critical to have an experienced team you trust. At Temmen Plastic Surgery, we prioritize patient safety above all else. Our injectors use advanced techniques and follow strict medical protocols to reduce risk and ensure a smooth, predictable outcome.
The first 24 hours after your filler appointment are important for healing and ensuring the best outcome. We recommend avoiding exercise, alcohol, heat exposure, and makeup during this window. Keeping your head elevated and using a cold compress can help minimize swelling. Unless we advise otherwise, it’s best not to massage or touch the treated area. We’ll send you home with detailed instructions tailored to your treatment, so you know exactly how to protect your results as they settle in.
Pricing depends on the type of filler used and the number of areas treated. We’ll provide a personalized quote after your consultation.
