When Your Face No Longer Reflects How You Feel
Aging Changes Facial Volume
As we age, the fat pads that give our face its youthful fullness begin to shrink and descend. Collagen production slows, and bone resorption accelerates — particularly in the cheeks, temples, and jawline. The result is hollow cheeks, deepening nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and thinning lips that can make you look tired or older than you feel. Rapid weight loss, including from GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, can dramatically accelerate this volume depletion, creating what's now commonly called "ozempic face."
Restylane dermal fillers offer an immediate, non-surgical solution to reverse facial volume loss. Made from hyaluronic acid — a molecule your body naturally produces — these injectable gels restore volume exactly where it's needed while attracting moisture to keep skin hydrated and plump. Keely Phelps, PA uses her artistic eye and deep understanding of facial anatomy to place filler precisely, lifting and contouring your features for results that look naturally you, not overdone.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Hyaluronic Acid-Based Volume Restoration
Dermal fillers are FDA-cleared injectable gels used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours without surgery. At Mint Aesthetics & Skin, Keely uses the Restylane family of fillers, which are made from non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid (NASHA) technology. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar molecule in your skin that binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing both structural support and deep hydration.
Different Restylane formulations are engineered with varying gel particle sizes and cross-linking densities to address specific treatment areas. Restylane Lyft provides robust lift for cheeks and midface volume, while Restylane Kysse delivers soft, natural movement in the lips. Restylane Defyne and Refyne use XpresHAn Technology for flexible support in dynamic areas like the nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Once injected, the gel integrates with your tissue, immediately adding volume while also stimulating your skin's natural hydration processes. Restylane fillers are also an effective solution for dermal fillers for ozempic face, restoring the volume lost from rapid weight changes.

Restylane
Real Results
Restylane dermal fillers deliver immediate visible improvement that continues to refine over two weeks as any mild swelling resolves. Patients typically enjoy their results for 6 to 18 months depending on the treatment area — lips tend to metabolize filler faster than cheeks or jawline. Keely documents your progress with photos so you can see the subtle but impactful difference in facial balance and volume.

- Patients with deepening nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or wrinkles and fine lines
- Those seeking lip enhancement with natural-looking volume and definition
- Individuals experiencing ozempic face or facial hollowing after significant weight loss
- Patients who want non-surgical jawline or chin contouring
- Those with realistic expectations about outcomes and maintenance
Who Should Wait or Avoid Dermal Fillers

During your consultation, Keely will review your medical history, assess your facial anatomy, and recommend the ideal Restylane formulation and treatment plan for your goals.
What Happens During Treatment
Preparation
Keely cleanses the treatment area. For lip treatments, topical numbing cream is applied for added comfort. Restylane also contains built-in lidocaine.
Injection
Using fine needles or blunt-tip cannulas, Keely precisely places filler at targeted depths to restore volume and refine contours.
Sculpting
Keely gently molds the filler into position, checking symmetry and balance from multiple angles throughout the process.
Aftercare
You receive detailed aftercare instructions including avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours and sleeping elevated the first night.
Side Effects & Safety
Know the Risks
Dermal fillers are among the most extensively studied cosmetic treatments with an excellent safety profile when performed by a qualified injector. Keely Phelps, PA maintains comprehensive training in facial vascular anatomy and emergency protocols.
Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, and mild bruising at injection sites. These typically resolve within 3-7 days. Some patients experience firmness or small lumps that can be gently massaged as directed.
Less common effects include asymmetry requiring touch-up, prolonged swelling, or migration of product. Hyaluronic acid fillers offer a unique safety advantage — they can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme if needed.
Rare but serious risks include vascular occlusion, which can occur if filler is inadvertently injected into or compresses a blood vessel. Signs include unusual blanching, severe pain, or vision changes. Keely uses aspiration techniques and is trained in emergency vascular occlusion management protocols. If you experience any concerning symptoms after treatment, contact Mint Aesthetics & Skin immediately at (317) 748-3169.

Dermal Fillers FAQ
Your Questions Answered
01 How long do dermal fillers last?
Restylane dermal fillers typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the treatment area, product used, and your individual metabolism. Lip fillers tend to last 6-9 months due to the high movement in that area, while cheek and jawline fillers can last 12-18 months. Keely recommends maintenance appointments to preserve your results before the filler fully metabolizes.
02 Do dermal fillers hurt?
Most patients report only mild discomfort during filler injections. Keely applies topical numbing cream before treatment, and all Restylane products contain built-in lidocaine to minimize sensation during injection. Patients often describe the feeling as a brief pinch or pressure. Keely also uses techniques like slow injection speed and vibration distraction to maximize your comfort.
03 How much do dermal fillers cost?
At Mint Aesthetics & Skin, a full syringe of Restylane filler is $675 and a half syringe is $350. Most patients need 1-3 syringes depending on their treatment goals. Keely will provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing during your consultation. Call (317) 748-3169 to schedule.
04 What is the difference between filler and Botox?
Dermal fillers and neurotoxins like Xeomin address different concerns. Fillers add volume beneath the skin to restore fullness and smooth static lines (visible at rest). Neurotoxins relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (visible with expression), such as crow's feet and forehead lines. Many patients benefit from both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
05 Can fillers fix ozempic face?
Yes, dermal fillers are one of the most effective treatments for ozempic face — the facial volume loss and hollowing that can occur with rapid weight loss from GLP-1 medications. Keely uses strategic placement of Restylane fillers in the cheeks, temples, and midface to restore the volume that was lost, helping your face look refreshed and healthy rather than gaunt.
06 What is Restylane?
Restylane is an FDA-cleared family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers manufactured by Galderma. The product line includes multiple formulations — Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Kysse, Restylane Defyne, and Restylane Refyne — each designed with different gel properties for specific treatment areas. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in your skin that attracts and retains moisture.
07 How is Restylane different from Juvederm?
Both Restylane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers, but they use different manufacturing technologies. Restylane uses NASHA (non-animal stabilized hyaluronic acid) and XpresHAn technology, while Juvederm uses Vycross technology. The differences in cross-linking and particle size mean each has unique handling properties. Keely prefers Restylane for its versatility and natural tissue integration across multiple facial areas.
