"Dr. Aime is THE best. She not only takes time to walk you through your appointment, but also takes the time to really understand your facial structure to create the results you want. If I could give 100 stars, I would. She is professional, yet personable. I would not go anywhere else!"
“I recently underwent a submentoplasty procedure performed by the incredibly talented plastic surgeon, Dr Aimé. My decision to have submentoplasty was not taken lightly and Dr Aimé made sure to thoroughly explain the entire procedure to me during our consultation.”
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve gathered answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask about this procedure. Whether you’re just starting your research or preparing for surgery, this section is here to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to restore volume, smooth lines, soften creases, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and plumpness. Other types include calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulate collagen production.
Cheeks and midface for volume
Lips for definition and plumpness
Chin and jawline for contouring
Nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines
Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
Temples
Nose for contouring (non-surgical rhinoplasty)
Fine lines around mouth
Neck and declotte lines
Hands (to restore youthful fullness)
Longevity depends on the type of filler, area treated, and your metabolism. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6–18 months, while biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra or Radiesse may last 12–24 months or longer. Lip fillers tend to dissolve faster due to higher movement.
There can be some discomfort during the treatment. Most fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, and a topical anesthetic is usually applied beforehand. An ice pack or cooling device may also be used to help provide additional numbing of the treatment areas. You may feel a brief pinch or pressure during injection.
Downtime is usually minimal. Some patients experience mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolves within a few days. You can return to most normal activities the same day, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat (like saunas or steam rooms) for 24 hours.
Not when your treatment is performed by an experienced, aesthetic-focused provider like Dr. Aimé. The goal is subtle enhancement, not exaggeration. Filler treatments are carefully customized to complement your natural features and maintain facial harmony.
Yes—hyaluronic acid fillers (like Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA) can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This is useful in the rare case of a complication or if you’re unhappy with the results. Non-HA fillers (such as Sculptra, Radiesse, Bellafill) cannot be reversed but will break down over time.
Yes, when performed by a trained and qualified injector. However, as with any medical procedure, there are potential risks—including bruising, swelling, asymmetry, lumps, or rare vascular complications. Dr. Aimé prioritizes your safety and will review your health history and explain all risks before treatment.
It’s best to schedule filler appointments at 4-6 weeks before a major event. This allows time for swelling or bruising to subside and for the product to fully settle.
During your consultation, Dr. Aimé will assess your facial structure, discuss your goals, and recommend the appropriate filler type, product line, and placement strategy to achieve natural-looking results tailored to you.
Yes. While the FDA approves specific fillers for certain areas (such as the lips or nasolabial folds), experienced injectors commonly and safely use fillers “off-label” in other areas based on clinical judgment and aesthetic expertise. Off-label uses may include:
- Temples
- Jawline contouring
- Chin augmentation
- Nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty)
- Earlobes
- Necklines or chest creases
- Acne or surgical scars
Dr. Aimé uses a detailed understanding of facial anatomy and product behavior to determine whether off-label filler use is appropriate for your goals—and always prioritizes safety and natural results.
No. For safety, sterility, and regulatory reasons, patients may not take home opened or unused filler. Once a filler syringe has been opened, it must be used or properly discarded. Sharing syringes between appointments or storing them outside of a clinical setting can pose serious risks, including contamination or degradation of the product.
If you’re concerned about not “wasting” product, Dr. Aimé will always discuss ways to use any remaining filler safely within the same session—for example, treating secondary areas like fine lines or subtle contour enhancements. She will never recommend filler use beyond what is appropriate for your anatomy or aesthetic goals.
