Dermal fillers restore lost volume and soften lines to refresh the face without surgery. They address hollow cheeks, flattened midface, and the deepened folds that come with age. Dr. Claire B. Davis, a board eligible plastic surgeon in Asheville, offers dermal filler treatments backed by a surgeon’s knowledge of facial anatomy, placing filler with precision for balanced, natural-looking results. Schedule a consultation to explore the right approach for your goals.
Find out how strategically placed filler can restore volume and refresh your features.
Two injectors can use the identical syringe and produce opposite results. The difference is anatomical: knowing which layer to fill, how volume migrates over months, and where a millimeter changes the whole face. Product is commodity; placement is expertise.
Trained through a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dr. Davis applies that anatomical expertise to injectable care. Her place in the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society reflects a foundation of clinical rigor, and she carries the same precision into every treatment she performs.

Most dermal fillers are smooth hyaluronic-acid gels. Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin, where it binds water to keep tissue hydrated and supple. When injected beneath the surface, these FDA-approved fillers restore volume in areas that have thinned over time and lift the tissue to soften folds and lines.
Because the gel attracts and holds water, it helps maintain a smooth, replenished appearance, and the body gradually metabolizes it over months. Dr. Davis selects the filler suited to each treatment area and depth, working in her AAAASF-accredited facility. The aim is harmony across the face rather than change to any single feature in isolation.
Dermal fillers offer a flexible, non-surgical path to facial refreshment with results you can see quickly.
Filler replaces volume lost in the cheeks, temples, and midface, lifting and supporting tissue for a rested, youthful contour. Restoring this foundation often softens the entire face.
By adding support beneath nasolabial folds and marionette lines, filler smooths the creases that deepen with age, easing a tired or drawn appearance without freezing expression.
Carefully placed filler refines the cheeks, jawline, chin, and other contours, balancing subtle asymmetries so features complement one another rather than standing out individually. For lip-specific enhancement, Dr. Davis offers a dedicated lip filler treatment.
Much of the result is visible right away, and because Dr. Davis builds volume gradually, your plan can be refined over time to match your goals and anatomy.
Dermal fillers suit many adults seeking facial refreshment without surgery or extended downtime. A consultation with Dr. Davis confirms whether filler, or another approach, best fits your goals.
You may be a good candidate if you:
A personal consultation determines candidacy and lets Dr. Davis build a plan suited to your facial anatomy.
A filler appointment is efficient and comfortable, following a clear sequence from planning to aftercare.
Filler involves only a short recovery window centered on settling and protecting the treated areas.
Mild swelling, redness, or small bruises at injection points are common and usually subtle. You can typically return to your day, avoiding strenuous activity for the first several hours.
Any swelling and bruising peak and then begin to ease. Avoid intense heat, alcohol, and vigorous exercise, and keep the treated areas clean as directed.
Most swelling resolves and the filler begins to settle into a natural position. Results continue to refine as any residual puffiness fades.
Because the body gradually metabolizes filler over several months to longer, periodic touch-up treatments maintain your results. Dr. Davis tailors the timing to the product used and your goals.
The line between refreshed and overfilled is narrower than most people expect, and it’s drawn entirely by restraint. Dr. Davis builds volume in small increments, reading balance as she goes, because a face restored should still read as yours — rested, not rearranged.
That restraint is anchored in surgical training. A UT Southwestern residency and an AAAASF-accredited setting mean your filler is placed with a structural understanding of how the whole face fits together, and a plan shaped to your features from the first visit.
Dermal filler cost varies based on the type and amount of filler used and the areas treated. Because a personalized plan may involve more than one product, Dr. Davis provides a detailed quote during your consultation after assessing your goals and facial anatomy.
Dermal fillers and Botox work differently. Fillers restore lost volume and smooth folds, while neurotoxins relax the muscles that create dynamic wrinkles. Many patients benefit from both, and Dr. Davis builds a plan around your goals during your consultation.
Can dermal fillers be combined with other treatments?
Dermal fillers often work well alongside other treatments as part of a comprehensive facial plan. Dr. Davis can discuss combinations during your consultation.
Pairing filler with Botox oaddresses both volume loss and dynamic wrinkles, since each targets a different cause of facial aging.
Combining filler with Sculptra can pair immediate volume with gradual, longer-term collagen support for a layered approach to restoration.
Adding microneedling refines skin texture and tone, complementing the volume that filler restores beneath the surface.
A consultation helps Dr. Davis sequence any combination safely around your goals.
Dermal filler results are temporary and typically last several months to longer, depending on the product, the area treated, and your metabolism. Individual results vary. Periodic maintenance treatments help sustain your refreshed appearance over time.
