Injectable Fillers
As part of the natural aging process, the skin and soft tissues of the face lose volume. Over time, this can cause pronounced wrinkles (such as laugh lines) as well as gauntness in the temples and under the cheekbones. Injectable fillers like JUVÉDERM® and RADIESSE can target specific deep lines or restore diffuse facial volume to help you look younger without cosmetic surgery.
Dr. Alexander Nein is a board certified plastic surgeon based in Nashville, Tennessee who is known as a highly skilled injector for dermal fillers. In addition to nonsurgical med spa treatments like JUVÉDERM® and RADIESSE, Dr. Nein also offers a full range of cosmetic surgery options for men and women throughout the Nashville area. We have patients travel to us from all parts of Tennessee including Franklin, Clarksville, Murfreesboro and other communities.

Considering Injectable Fillers?
Injectable fillers help diminish wrinkles by adding volume to restore a smoother, unlined appearance. Although injectables can deliver impressive results, it’s important to have realistic expectations about what you can achieve with dermal fillers. Some wrinkles may be better treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, while wrinkles seen in combination with significant skin laxity may require facial cosmetic surgery to correct.
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM® is a hyaluronic acid gel filler that adds both volume and hydration to smooth away deep lines and wrinkles like the laugh lines.
RADIESSE®
More than filling in facial lines, RADIESSE® is formulated of calcium-based microspheres that stimulate new collagen production for longer-lasting results.

Planning Your Procedure
Scheduling a consultation with Dr. Nein is your first step for seeing the best results from injectable fillers. During this time, Dr. Nein will talk more with you about your goals for treatment as well as advise you on which filler he feels can best help you meet those goals.
Your Recovery & Results
Injectable fillers are nonsurgical, so you can plan on getting back to your normal routine right away after your appointment. Sometimes, a minimal amount of bruising or swelling can occur at the injection site, although the risk of side effects is greatly minimized by using an experienced injector.
You should see results from your injectable fillers almost immediately with either JUVÉDERM® or RADIESSE®. Although fillers will be absorbed by the body gradually over time, you should enjoy a naturally refreshed look that keeps you looking young and vibrant with the help of continued maintenance treatments.
