FILLERS
Kenz has treated hundreds of patients for facial sculpting with dermal fillers in Dallas, TX. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical way to contour the face and enhance the lips offering temporary results that can be uniquely tailored to your aesthetic goals.
Why FILLERS?
Facial fillers are made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is something we naturally produce in our bodies and is actually a natural lubricant for our joints. Therefore it is not foreign to our bodies. When used in the right hands, and the right amounts, it creates beautiful and natural results.
The use of fillers can eliminate and soften deeper lines and folds, plump, hydrate lips, replace soft-tissue volume loss, contour & restore cheek bones while slimming the face, soften the hollows under the eyes, create a sharper jawline, balance the chin/profile of the face, create more facial symmetry, lift a downturned mouth, or rejuvenate the hands by restoring volume and disguising veins.
As we age, our skin becomes more susceptible to folds, wrinkles, and we begin to lose volume. The volume starts to decrease in the upper face and increase in the lower face. Facial fillers can help lift, rejuvenate, and soften signs of aging, providing a solution to many concerns.
My injecting style prioritizes a natural result enhancing your own beautiful features. The best changes are when people say you look great but they can't put their finger on what you've done!

TREATMENT AREAS
LIPS
Kenz is an advanced injector and well-known for her lip plumping techniques. Lip injections are one of her most requested treatments and patients come to see her in Dallas, TX for natural-looking results.
JAWLINE
Many men, and some women are looking to enhance their weak jawline with filler injections. Kenz can help you sculpt a strong, more defined jawline with strategically placed dermal fillers above the masseter and along the jawline.
CHEEKS
As we age, we all lose fullness in our cheeks, causing our face to sag and hollows to set in. Fillers can restore fullness in the cheeks and add projection above the cheekbones allowing you to look and feel younger.
CHIN
A strong chin is a common trait among people who are considered to be more attractive. Many fashion models and celebrities seek to enhance the projection of their chin with a combination of fillers and Kybella™. Kenz can add volume and projection to this area in a short, 30-minute office visit.
LAUGH LINES
If you love to laugh, like me, then your laugh lines are probably deepening with every rom com movie night. A small amount of HA filler can be injected into the laugh lines to soften these lines and give you a more rested, youthful appearance.
HAND REJUVENATION
You know what they say, “You can’t hide your age in your hands.” Well, now there’s a treatment for that! HA fillers can be injected into the hands to restore volume and stimulate collagen production to help reverse the signs of aging in the hands.
FAQ
+ How much does Filler cost?
Because everyone’s needs are very different, and with such a wide variety of treatments involving filler, a personal consultation is the best way to establish cost. With that in mind, filler treatments start at $850 for a syringe. This cost not only reflects the price of the product, but also the skill, knowledge, and expertise of the medical injector. I do not price match.
Cheek Pop: $850-$2500 In the first appointment I generally start with 2 syringes, for many people 2 will achieve desired results, if maintaining your cheek filler you currently have 1 syringe is often sufficien. Some patient will need more depending on volume loss and desired results.)
Lip Filler: $850 (1 syringe, patients may desire two, I do 1 syringe at a time for lips, patients can come bacl in 4 weeks for another syringe)
Nasolabial Folds "Laugh Lines": $850
Marionette Lines/Corners of Mouth (Vertical folds between the chin and the lips: $850-$1400
Chin Filler: $850-1500 (1-2 syringes either same appointment or spaced 2-3 weeks apart to build)
Under Eye Filler: $850-$1200 (1-2 I always do 1 syringe at a time and can add more after 4-6 weeks if more correction is needed. Often times patients need to have cheek filler 1-2 syringes to support the tear trough either on the same day or prior to getting under eye filler)
Jawline Filler: Starting at: $1400-$2800
Lip Lines above lip: $850
Neck Line "Tech Neck" Filler: Starting at $850/syirnge (often times two syringes at seperate appointments is needed, in addition to a treatment of 20-40 units of botox to the neck for best results)
Earlobe Filler: $850
Hand Filler: $1400
+ When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after treatment. The healing process then begins which involves swelling for about 3-7 days depending on the amount injected, area injected, and your body. The product then settles and you’ll enjoy your final results about 2-3 weeks after injections.
+ How long do results last?
Longevity differs from person to person and from treatment to treatment. Some people may metabolize the product faster than others. Longevity also has to do with product choice, area being treated, and the amount that was injected (or if you've had filler in the past and if you still have some of that filler). See below for average longevity based on treatment:
Cheek Filler: 9-16 months
Under Eye Filler: 6-16 months
Lip Filler: 6-12 months
Nasolabial Fold (Smile/Laugh Lines) Filler: 6-12 months
Chin Augmentation: 9-14 months
Hand Filler: 9-16 months
Jawline Filler: 9-14 months
Earlobe Filler: 9-16 months
Temple Filler: 6-12 months
Hand Filler: 9-16 months
Sculptra: 2-3 years
+ How many treatments will I need?
Facial fillers are a temporary solution, and therefore to maintain results, treatments will need to be administered on a recurring basis (see longevity info above). All my treatments are customized based on your goals. I go based on the look we are creating together and have a more art like approach than an exact timeline of when you do a little more.involves injections of Hylenex®.
+ Will I need time to recover?
Bruising is possible, plan 2 weeks ahead of any events/vacations. Please give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before any events or vacations in case of residual bruising and swelling.
Before any significant life events (like your wedding) please come for your filler appointment 6-10 weeks prior.
+ Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
The dermal fillers that are used in our practice have naturally-occurring ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. Therefore, there is no need for allergy testing before dermal filler treatment and most patients are excellent candidates for this cosmetic solution to aging and other facial concerns.
+ WHAT IF I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS AFTER FILLER INJECTIONS?
If you receive filler treatment with a hyaluronic acid product, such as Juvéderm or Restylane, you may have some or all of your filler dissolved if you are not satisfied with your results. Treatment to dissolve hyaluronic acid dermal fillers involves injections of Hylenex® an enzyme to dissolve the product. This is a great characteristics of the product and make them safer than some more permanent fillers that are on the market. Although it is very rare to want anything dissolved, most find that is is not permanent reassuring when beginning these treatments.
+ Can I Receive Filler and Botox at the Same Time?
Dermal fillers and Botox treatment can and often are administered during the same office visit. Because each product works differently in the skin, the two can be a powerful combination to achieve beautiful, natural-looking rejuvenation.
+ How should I prepare for my appointment?
