When it comes to rejuvenating your appearance, dermal fillers are one of the most popular and effective non-surgical treatments available. At Westside Plastic Surgery in Fort Worth, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James D. Goggin personally administers every dermal filler treatment, bringing exceptional skill and a careful, artistic approach to each session. Dermal fillers can smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance facial contours, but achieving the best possible outcome requires thoughtful preparation and care.

Let’s explore seven essential tips to help you get the most from your dermal filler experience.

1. Choose a Skilled, Board-Certified Provider

Your results depend heavily on the experience and qualifications of your provider. Working with a seasoned, board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. James D. Goggin ensures your treatment is performed with:

  • Precision and attention to detail.
  • Deep knowledge of facial anatomy.
  • A customized approach that suits your unique features.

An experienced specialist can deliver beautifully natural outcomes you can feel confident about.

2. Schedule a Personalized Consultation

Every face is unique, and so are your aesthetic goals. Before any treatment, sit down with your provider to discuss your concerns, desired results, and medical history. At Westside Plastic Surgery, Dr. Goggin takes the time to listen carefully and design a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

3. Follow Pre-Treatment Guidelines

For the smoothest experience, follow all pre-treatment instructions carefully. These may include:

  • Avoiding blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin) before your appointment
  • Skipping certain supplements that can increase bruising risk
  • Refraining from alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment

The Westside team will provide you with a detailed guide to help you prepare confidently.

4. Be Realistic About Results

While dermal fillers can create beautiful enhancements, it’s important to understand their scope. Fillers work best to soften lines, restore volume, and enhance contours, but they complement, not completely change, your natural appearance. A good provider will help you set realistic expectations for subtle, sophisticated improvements.

5. Practice Good Aftercare

Post-treatment care is key to achieving smooth, lasting results. Important aftercare tips include:

  • Applying cold compresses to reduce swelling
  • Avoiding vigorous exercise for the first 24 to 48 hours
  • Following all aftercare advice provided by your provider

These steps will support a comfortable recovery and help protect your investment.

6. Maintain Your Results Over Time

Dermal fillers provide long-lasting but temporary improvements. Depending on the product used, you can enjoy results for anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Regular maintenance sessions will help keep your look refreshed. Dr. Goggin will work with you to create a maintenance plan that suits your goals and lifestyle.

7. Prioritize Safety and Quality.

Always choose FDA-approved products in a clean, professional setting. At Westside Plastic Surgery, only top-tier products like Juvéderm, Restylane, and Sculptra are used, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. You deserve treatments performed to the highest medical and artistic standards.
