Filler Injectables

Back to You

Restore volume with precision.

As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen, elasticity, and facial fat—leading to hollowness, sagging, and the deepening of folds and lines. Dermal fillers offer a nonsurgical solution to restore volume, smooth contours, and rejuvenate your appearance with immediate, natural-looking results.



At GJK Plastic Surgery in Albany, NY, Dr. Gabriel J. Kaufman provides expertly placed dermal filler treatments to enhance facial balance, correct volume loss, and subtly sculpt the features. Whether you're addressing early signs of aging or refining results after surgery.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from substances that mimic components naturally found in the body, such as hyaluronic acid (HA). These products are used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features.


Popular treatment areas include:

  • Cheeks (lift and restore midface volume)
  • Nasolabial folds (smile or laugh lines)
  • Lips (plumping and definition)
  • Under-eyes (tear troughs for a rested look)
  • Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
  • Chin and jawline (contouring and structure)

How Fillers Complement Plastic Surgery

Dermal fillers are a powerful complement to surgical procedures and long-term aesthetic planning. They can:

  • Enhance facelift outcomes by restoring volume that surgery alone can’t correct
  • Fine-tune results after rhinoplasty or lip lift
  • Bridge the gap between surgeries, offering touch-up volume without downtime
  • Reverse early signs of aging in patients not yet ready for surgery
  • Smooth residual wrinkles after skin tightening procedures

This integrative approach ensures harmony between skin, structure, and volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between dermal fillers and neurotoxin treatments?

    Neurotoxins (like Botox) relax muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles. Fillers add volume and structure to smooth static lines and enhance features. They’re often used together for full facial rejuvenation.

  • Are fillers safe?

    Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers are FDA-approved, well-studied, and reversible if needed. Dr. Kaufman only uses reputable products and tailors every treatment to patient safety.

  • Will I look overfilled or unnatural?

    Not with Dr. Kaufman’s technique. He uses a conservative, anatomical approach to achieve balanced and subtle results that enhance—not alter—your appearance.

  • How often will I need maintenance?

    Most patients return for touch-ups every 9–12 months depending on the area treated and product used.
