Refresh Your Features
Volume loss is one of the earliest and most noticeable contributors to facial aging. As collagen and fat diminish, structural contours can soften and shadows can deepen. At the Michigan Center for Cosmetic Services, dermal fillers are a sophisticated way to restore structure, balance proportions, and enhance your natural features.

Certain fillers also promote collagen remodeling over time, helping your skin maintain firmness even as the product metabolizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each collection has unique, cross-linking technologies that influence texture, flexibility, and longevity. Juvéderm is known for its smooth, cohesive formula that creates seamless volume in areas like the cheeks and lips. RHA Collection adapts to facial movement, making it ideal for dynamic expression lines around the mouth and lower face. Restylane offers a range of firmness levels for precise sculpting and contouring.
At MCCS, your treatment plan may incorporate one or more of these advanced formulas to achieve refined, natural-looking results from dermal fillers. Ann Arbor patients benefit from Dr. West’s surgical-level understanding of anatomy when selecting products for their face.
Modern hyaluronic acid fillers integrate with your tissue; they don’t sit rigidly beneath the skin. Strategic placement respects your underlying musculature and ligament support, allowing you to smile, speak, and emote without looking stiff or overdone.
Dr. West evaluates how your face moves at rest and in motion before administering dermal fillers. Ann Arbor patients appreciate that this approach preserves individuality while restoring structure, so enhancements appear effortless.
When you choose dermal fillers in Ann Arbor, Dr. Jessica West plans and places every injection. As a double board-certified facial plastic and cosmetic surgeon with over 12 years of aesthetic experience, she approaches each appointment with medical precision and an artistic eye.
Dr. West’s detailed knowledge of facial anatomy enables her to account for the relationship between underlying structures and visible contours.
She evaluates your features at rest and in motion, then selects the filler, placement, and amount needed to restore balance without creating an overfilled appearance. This physician-directed approach keeps every recommendation focused on harmonious, natural-looking results.
One of the most reassuring aspects of hyaluronic acid-based products is their reversibility. If refinement is necessary, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve the filler safely and efficiently. This added layer of control is particularly important when working in delicate areas, such as the under-eyes or lips.
Dr. West frequently corrects misplaced or excessive dermal fillers. Ann Arbor patients who have experienced disappointing results elsewhere trust her advanced training to restore balance and rebuild their facial features.
Patients considering dermal fillers in Ann Arbor often want to know how long their results will remain visible. Many enjoy their refreshed contours for 1 to 2 years, although the exact longevity depends on the selected formula, treatment area, and individual’s metabolism.
Areas with frequent movement, such as the lips, often process filler faster than less mobile areas, like the jawline or cheeks. The product itself also affects longevity, since some formulas provide soft flexibility while others offer firmer structural support.
Dr. West explains what to expect before treatment and recommends maintenance only as your results begin to change.
There is no “right” age to add filler to your aesthetic care plan. Some adults in their 20s and 30s use it to refine their facial proportions or subtly enhance their natural features, while others begin treatment later in life to address age-related volume loss and deeper folds.
Dr. West bases candidacy on your anatomy and goals rather than a number. During your consultation, she evaluates whether filler is the most appropriate option for your concerns. Importantly, she’ll be honest and tell you when another treatment would better address your needs.
Planning ahead helps you arrive ready for treatment and gives temporary swelling or bruising time to resolve. Before receiving dermal fillers in Ann Arbor, follow Dr. West’s personalized instructions and share any medication changes or upcoming events.
- Schedule your appointment at least 4 weeks before an important event.
- Ask your prescribing clinician whether you can pause blood-thinning medications/supplements for 10 to 14 days prior to your filler appointment.
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen consistently before treatment.
- Avoid alcohol consumption for 48 hours before your injections.
- Arrive at your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup and other products.
Following these steps supports a smoother appointment and recovery.
Dr. West provides after-care instructions based on the filler used and treatment area. Mild swelling or bruising can occur, so give the product and surrounding tissue time to settle.
Post-injection care steps often include:
- Applying SPF 30+ whenever your skin is exposed to daylight.
- Drinking plenty of water throughout your recovery.
- Refraining from touching, scrubbing, or rubbing the treated area unless Dr. West instructs you to massage it.
- Limiting your engagement in exercise and other strenuous activity for 24 hours.
- Sleeping face-up with your head elevated for the first 2 nights.
- Avoiding alcohol and tobacco for 48 hours after your filler injections.
Consistent after-care protects the treated area while your final contours take shape.
