DERMAL FILLERS

By Dr. Valaie, MD

Dermal fillers, in the right hands, are far more than volume. For Dr. Valaie, they are structural tools — used to shape, refine, and rebalance the face with precision and purpose. 

This isn’t about trends or overfilling. It’s about restoring harmony — supporting areas that have shifted with age, refining curves that need clarity, and enhancing natural features with restraint. 

Whether it’s Juvederm for cheeks, Restylane for under-eyes, or enhancement around the lips or jawline, every injection is mapped to fit the face as a whole. No templates. No routines. Just clean, individualized design. 

For patients in Newport Beach and Orange County, this isn’t just filler. It’s facial architecture — done with care. 

Every face changes differently. That’s why Dr. Valaie doesn’t inject based on formulas — he evaluates each face as a three-dimensional structure, then maps what’s needed to restore tension, light flow, and balance. Filler injections are performed to lift, support, or refine — never to inflate. 

He focuses on the architecture behind the line — not the wrinkle itself. Often, a wrinkle filler for the face is placed behind the fold, not into it, to restore the tension that once held it smooth. This approach minimizes puffiness, maximizes longevity, and allows for natural movement. 

Using only the highest quality hyaluronic acid dermal fillers — including Juvederm and Restylane — Dr. Valaie creates lift, proportion, and structure. He often combines cheek and jawline injections for deeper harmony, or treats sunken eyes and jowls with the same precise, sculptural strategy.

Dermal Filler as Architecture 

In Dr. Valaie’s hands, dermal filler is not about filling — it’s about supporting, shaping, and restoring structure. While most associate filler with adding volume, his approach is different. He evaluates the architecture of the face, identifies where tension has been lost, and places product only where it restores balance. That’s what makes the result natural — and powerful. 

Dermal filler injections are used to lift cheeks, sharpen the jawline, smooth transitions around the eyes, support the lips, and restore facial proportion. The goal is never “more volume.” The goal is clarity. Structure. Definition. 

This method of filler placement allows patients to look better — not different. The result isn’t something new added to the face. It’s the return of what was lost. 

Treatment Areas, One by One 

  • Under-Eyes: Treated with Restylane or similar fillers to improve hollows and smooth transitions. Focus is placed on orbital rim support, tear trough depth, and how the fat pads behave during motion.
  • Cheeks: Filler is placed along the zygomatic arch and mid-cheek zone to lift and reduce heaviness. Juvederm Voluma is often used for its structure and longevity.
  • Jawline and Chin: Filler redefines borders, adds strength, and restores symmetry — especially for soft or recessed lower thirds.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Dr. Valaie supports from behind the fold rather than directly in it, which avoids puffiness and delivers a smoother, longer-lasting result.
  • Lips: Balance between upper and lower, improved shape, sharpened borders, and subtle projection adjustments — not volume dumping.
  • Temples and Forehead: These are advanced areas treated only when needed to restore balance in the upper third of the face.
  • Jowls and Marionette Lines: These are treated through lift — by anchoring above and supporting below, not by placing filler directly into sag. 

Why the Result Looks So Natural 

Patients often say, “It doesn’t look like I had filler — I just look better.” That’s because Dr. Valaie’s method avoids overcorrection, never chases every wrinkle, and understands the cause of the concern. 

The product isn’t the solution — it’s the tool. The solution comes from where it’s placed, how deeply it’s injected, and how that affects light, shadow, and proportion. 

Every injection is done by Dr. Valaie himself. There is no handoff. No delegated technique. Just personal attention and design. 

Product Choice: Juvederm, Restylane, and More 

Dr. Valaie selects dermal fillers based on density, flexibility, integration, and anatomical zone. Some areas require firm support (like the cheeks or chin). Others require smooth flow and minimal water attraction (like under-eyes or lips). 

He often uses Juvederm Voluma for structure, Restylane for precision, and other advanced formulations for specific textures and movement. Each is chosen for a reason. 

He also does not rely on trends or product marketing. He relies on what works. 

How Long It Treatment Lasts 

Most fillers last 12–18 months depending on the product, area, and individual metabolism. But the effect of balanced facial structure — once created — can last far longer. 

In many patients, the spacing between maintenance treatments increases over time. With correct structure, less product is needed. And results age more gracefully. 

Dr. Valaie builds every plan with long-term thinking. The goal is not to “fill, wait, and refill.” It’s to restore what was lost — then maintain it subtly over time. 

Comfort and Safety 

Dr. Valaie uses internal numbing to maximize comfort — no need for topical creams or ice packs. He injects slowly, gently, and only after evaluating the face in motion. 

All products are FDA-approved, well-studied hyaluronic acid fillers. No permanent or irreversible materials are used. And if any area needs adjusting, Dr. Valaie manages it personally. 

Bruising is rare. Swelling is minimal. Most patients return to daily activities the same day — with natural, visible lift that improves in the weeks to follow. 

Who This Is For 

  • Patients with volume loss in the cheeks, under-eyes, or temples 
  • Patients with soft jawlines or early jowls 
  • Patients seeking definition without looking “filled” 
  • Those who want results that move naturally, age well, and don’t give away the treatment 

Whether this is your first filler or a corrective experience after poor results elsewhere, Dr. Valaie approaches every face like it’s his only face that day. 

The Outcome

  • More structure, less sagging 
  • Cleaner light flow across the face 
  • Better proportion between features 
  • A younger, more confident version of you — not someone else 

Dermal fillers are not the answer. Design is. 

And when that design is done with intention, structure, and restraint — the result is beauty that lasts.
