Dermal Fillers in Beverly Hills, CA

Dermal fillers in Beverly Hills at ConfiDental are planned around your smile, softening the lines around your mouth, restoring lip support and balancing the lower face so your teeth and face look in harmony. Dr. Liyan Massaband, DMD, MPH, uses hyaluronic acid fillers that can be adjusted or dissolved, explains the real risks as well as the benefits, and gives you a clear price per syringe before any treatment.

As a dentist, Dr. Massaband looks at your lips, teeth and lower face together. New veneers, dentures or implants change how the lips sit, and a small amount of volume, placed with that in mind, can make the whole result look natural.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers (sometimes called therapeutic fillers or facial fillers) are gels injected under the skin. Most are made of hyaluronic acid, a sugar your body already makes that holds water and adds soft volume. Well-known hyaluronic acid brands include Juvederm and Restylane.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves dermal fillers for adults 22 and older for specific uses, including smoothing wrinkles and folds around the mouth and adding volume to the lips, cheeks and chin. Each product is approved for particular areas, and we use them only where they are approved.

A key advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if the result is not right or a problem occurs.

Areas We Treat

Area	What filler can do	Often combined with
Lips	Add gentle volume, define the border, even out shape	Veneers or whitening, for a balanced smile
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)	Soften the folds from nose to mouth	Restoring lost tooth or bite height
Lines around the mouth (perioral lines)	Smooth fine “lipstick” lines	Lip filler
Marionette lines	Lift the downturned corners of the mouth	Chin support
Chin	Add projection for better profile balance	Jawline filler
Jawline	Define the jaw edge and soften early jowls	Chin filler

Areas we do not treat with filler: under the eyes, forehead, nose and neck. The FDA recommends against filler injections in these areas because of a higher risk of serious complications.

Benefits of Therapeutic Fillers

Therapeutic fillers provide non-invasive facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Key benefits include:

Restored Volume

Restores volume to cheeks, lips, and under-eyes for a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Smoother Skin

Smooths fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and forehead, creating a softer, more even texture.

Enhanced Contours

Enhances facial contours, such as cheekbones or lips, without the need for invasive procedures.

Improved Hydration and Elasticity

Improves skin hydration and elasticity through the rejuvenating effects of hyaluronic acid.

Long-Lasting Results

Provides results that last 6–18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual skin response.

Safety and Expertise

Involves minimal risks when performed by a skilled professional.

Patients at Confidental Beverly Hills love the confidence boost from these subtle enhancements.

Why Fillers Pair Well With Dental Treatment

Your teeth support your lips and cheeks. When teeth are lost, worn down or set back, the lips can thin and lines deepen around the mouth. That is why:

After veneers or a smile makeover: a small amount of lip filler can frame the new smile so it does not look “too big” for the lips
With dentures or full mouth reconstruction: restoring bite height with new teeth comes first; injectables can then soften the lines that remain
With porcelain veneers: we plan both so tooth length and lip shape suit each other

Teeth first, then filler. Some lines that look like they need volume actually improve once the teeth and bite are restored.

Fillers vs Botox

	Dermal fillers	Therapeutic Botox
How it works	Adds volume under the skin	Relaxes a muscle
Best for	Thin lips, deep folds, chin and jawline shape	Clenching, gummy smile, lines from movement
Results	Immediate, settle in 1 to 2 weeks	Start in a few days, full effect in about 2 weeks
Lasts	About 6 to 12 months for hyaluronic acid	About 3 to 4 months

Fillers do not treat TMJ or jaw pain. If your jaw aches or clicks, see TMJ treatment or jaw muscle pain.

Your Filler Appointment, Step by Step

.01

Consultation

We talk about what you would like to change, look at your face, lips, teeth and bite, and review your medical history and medicines. We explain which areas will help and which will not, and the cost.

.02

Plan and consent 

You see the plan, the product, how many syringes and the risks before you agree.

.03

Comfort 

A numbing cream is applied, and most products also contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine). Most people feel pressure and a little sting.

.04

Injection 

The gel is placed slowly in small amounts, checking symmetry as we go. Treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.

.05

Review 

You see the result immediately. A follow-up after about two weeks lets us check how it has settled and make small touch-ups if needed.

After Your Filler: What to Expect

The American Academy of Dermatology notes that redness, swelling, tenderness and occasional bruising usually fade within 7 to 14 days.

For the first 24 to 48 hours:

Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and very hot environments (sauna, hot yoga)
Do not massage or press the area unless we ask you to
Use a cool compress for swelling
Sleep with your head slightly raised the first night
Avoid dental cleanings and other dental work for about two weeks if possible, and tell us if you have dental work booked

Risks and Safety

This is a medical treatment, and it is important to know the risks:

Common and short-lived:

Swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising
Small lumps that usually settle or can be massaged
Asymmetry, which can be adjusted

Less common:

Infection
Firm nodules
Allergic reaction

Rare but serious: The FDA warns that product accidentally injected into a blood vessel can block blood flow, leading to skin damage, vision problems including blindness, or stroke. The chance is low, but the harm can be permanent. To lower that risk, we:

Inject slowly and in small amounts, using careful technique in each area
Avoid high-risk areas such as around the eyes, the forehead and the nose
Keep hyaluronidase and an emergency plan ready in the office

Get help right away if you notice unusual or severe pain, skin that turns white, grey or blue, vision changes, or stroke symptoms after treatment. Call us, and call 911 for vision or stroke symptoms.

This treatment may not be right for you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection or cold sore in the area, have a bleeding disorder, or have a history of severe allergies. Never buy injectables online or use needle-free “hyaluron pens”; the FDA has not approved needle-free devices for injecting filler.

How Long Do Fillers Last?

According to the AAD, hyaluronic acid products usually last about 4 to 12 months. In our experience:

Lips: often about 6 months
Smile lines and marionette lines: about 6 to 12 months
Chin and jawline: often 9 to 12 months or longer

Results fade gradually. Many people book a smaller top-up rather than starting again.

How Much Do Facial Fillers Cost?

Treatment	Typical cost
Hyaluronic acid filler, per syringe	$600 to $1,000
Lips (usually 1 syringe)	About $600 to $1,000
Smile or marionette lines (1 to 2 syringes)	About $600 to $2,000
Chin and jawline (2 or more syringes)	About $1,200 to $3,000
Dissolving filler (hyaluronidase)	[CONFIRM]

Cosmetic injectables are not covered by insurance. Financing may be available; see our payment options.

Dermal Filler FAQs

Usually about $600 to $1,000 per syringe of hyaluronic acid. Lips often need one syringe; chin and jawline often need two or more.

Most people feel a little pressure and stinging. Numbing cream and the anesthetic inside most fillers keep it comfortable.

Often about 6 months, sometimes longer. Lips move a lot, so results there tend to fade faster than in the chin or jawline.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if the result is not right or if a problem occurs.

Jawline and chin filler can define the jaw edge and soften early jowls. It does not lift loose skin the way surgery does, and we will tell you if it is unlikely to give the result you want.

No. Fillers add volume; they do not relax muscles or treat the jaw joint. For clenching and jaw muscle pain, see our TMJ and therapeutic Botox pages.

Fillers add volume to fill lines and shape lips, chin and jawline. Botox relaxes muscles to soften movement lines, reduce clenching or treat a gummy smile.

Right away, though swelling can make the area look fuller for the first few days. The final result is usually clear after about two weeks.

Dentists work every day with the anatomy of the lips, mouth and lower face. What matters most is the injector’s training, careful technique, using approved products in approved areas, and being ready to manage complications. Ask about these at any office.

It is best to avoid dental cleanings and other dental work for about two weeks after filler, and to tell us about any upcoming dental treatment so we can plan around it.
