The delicate skin around your eyes tells a story—one of laughter, late nights, and the passage of time. But what if you could soften that narrative, restoring the youthful, well-rested look you once had? That’s where dermal fillers come in. And when it comes to the intricate anatomy of the eyes, you want an expert—someone with a deep understanding of both aesthetics and function.
At Associated Eye Physicians & Surgeons of NJ, we’re proud to have Dr. Taj Khan, FACS, a highly skilled Oculoplastic Surgeon, leading our cosmetic services. With extensive training in both ophthalmology and plastic surgery, Dr. Khan brings the precision and expertise needed to perform delicate procedures around the eyes while ensuring natural, balanced results.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical way to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. They are particularly effective for tear troughs (under-eye hollows), cheek augmentation, and brow lifting—areas where the slightest enhancement can make a significant impact.
These fillers are made from substances like hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, each designed to address specific concerns. Whether you want to reduce under-eye shadows, enhance your cheekbones, or subtly lift your brow, there’s a filler designed just for you.
Which Filler Is Right for You?
Choosing the right filler isn’t just about the brand—it’s about understanding your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. That’s why Dr. Khan carefully selects the best option based on your individual needs.
Here’s a breakdown of some popular fillers:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (HA) – Soft, Natural, and Hydrating
HA-based fillers are among the most commonly used because they blend seamlessly with your skin and provide immediate results. They’re also reversible, which gives patients peace of mind.
- Juvederm® – Known for its smooth consistency, Juvederm spreads easily in the tissue, making it ideal for under-eye hollows, fine lines, and cheek volume restoration. It creates a soft, hydrated look that lasts 6-18 months.
- Restylane® – With a slightly firmer texture, Restylane provides more structure, making it a great choice for tear troughs and deeper folds.
- Perlane® – Similar to Restylane but with larger gel particles, Perlane works well for deeper injections, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines).
- Belotero® – A thinner, more flexible filler that integrates smoothly into the skin, making it perfect for fine lines around the eyes, lips, and delicate areas.
Biostimulatory Fillers – Boosting Collagen for Long-Term Results
Unlike HA fillers, these fillers work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual and long-lasting improvements.
- Sculptra® – Designed to restore lost volume in the cheeks and temples, Sculptra helps improve skin elasticity and texture over time, with results lasting up to two years.
- Radiesse® – Made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, Radiesse immediately lifts and firms the skin while also stimulating collagen production.
Considering Dermal Fillers? Here’s What to Expect
✔ Quick, Minimally Invasive Procedure – Treatments typically take 30 minutes or less.
✔ Little to No Downtime – You can return to most activities immediately.
✔ Immediate Results – HA fillers provide instant volume, while biostimulatory fillers work over time.
✔ Lasting Effects – Depending on the filler used, results can last 6 months to 2 years.
Why See an Oculoplastic Surgeon for Fillers?
Here’s the thing—while many providers offer cosmetic injectables, the eye area requires an extra level of care. The skin around the eyes is thinner, more sensitive, and prone to swelling, making it one of the most challenging areas to treat.
Dr. Taj Khan’s dual expertise in ophthalmology and plastic surgery ensures that your fillers are placed with precision and safety in mind, minimizing the risk of complications like bruising, swelling, or improper filler placement. He understands how these treatments affect both your appearance and your vision, ensuring you get results that look natural and feel great.
