Sculptra & Radiesse in Coral Gables & South Miami, FL
Dermal fillers are a popular way to rejuvenate your appearance and achieve your cosmetic goals without surgery. Like many people, you probably associate fillers with the face. However, cosmetic injectables are just as effective and versatile when used on the body.
If you have a trouble area that you want to tighten, smooth, or enhance, consider fillers your downtime-free solution. Highly skilled injector Dr. Shaun Patel is a preferred provider of fillers in Miami. He routinely instructs other physicians on the use of injectables in his role as a national trainer for Galderma. Patients seek out Dr. Patel for his aesthetic eye, advanced training, and ability to produce stunning results.
The most popular body filler option at Miami Skin + Vein is Sculptra® Aesthetic. This bio-stimulatory filler works not by staying in the skin but by forming new collagen. With these formulas, the “filler” is the fresh collagen that forms in response to the injectable. The product itself is quickly and safely metabolized by your body.
By contrast, many other types of filler, such as Juvéderm®, work by staying under the skin to produce the desired aesthetic result. Eventually, these gel-like substances are broken down by the body. Both types of filler have unique advantages and indications, though Dr. Patel prefers bio-stimulatory products for the body.
When administering fillers to the body, Dr. Patel hyperdilutes the formula to ensure that no lumps or bumps form beneath thin-skinned areas. Additionally, he often uses a microcannula, which reduces downtime and bruising while improving safety.

Fillers can be used almost anywhere on the body. They are appropriate wherever you have loose, lax, or thin skin or volume loss that you want to correct. You can expect the same safety and efficacy from body fillers as you would from facial fillers. The products are the same; the area of placement is different. Some of the most common areas of the body for filler injections include:
As you get older, you will inevitably start to notice sagging skin on your upper arms. Fillers can improve this concern by stimulating collagen and correcting laxity. The result is smoother, more youthful-looking arms.
Wrinkles and lines above the knees are more common than you may think. Many patients visit Miami Skin & Vein because they feel that these wrinkles make their legs look older. Fillers are a simple solution that can smooth and tighten the skin around your knees.
Crepey skin and wrinkles are incredibly common on the chest. Unfortunately, the skin in this area is thin and prone to sun damage. Fillers can address these signs of skin aging by effectively evening out the skin on your décolletage.
It can be difficult to tone and lift the buttocks. Often, people turn to surgical gluteal augmentation to get the backside that they desire. However, removing fat from another part of the body and injecting it in the buttocks is not without drawbacks. Plus, many patients do not have enough excess fat to fulfill the candidacy requirements in the first place. Fillers offer a safer, non-surgical way to improve the appearance of your rear. Unlike fat injections, fillers are administered in the superficial layers of your buttocks, significantly lowering the risk of any adverse side effects.
Additionally, fillers are an excellent option for smoothing away stubborn cellulite on the body. Cellulite is characterized by lumpy, dimpled marks on the skin. It’s common on the thighs and buttocks. Essentially, fillers can correct cellulite by evening out the stubborn divots from below.
Choosing Sculptra for body enhancement offers numerous benefits:
Body fillers are a versatile option for those looking to enhance their appearance and address specific areas of concern on the body. Ideal candidates for body fillers typically include:
If you meet these criteria, body fillers may be a suitable option to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Dr. Patel can provide personalized advice during a consultation and determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs.
With fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse, it takes a while for your body to produce new collagen. You will likely see noticeable results six weeks after your second session. Most patients require two or three sessions spaced apart at one-month intervals.
While results are not instant, they are long-lasting. The cosmetic outcomes from Sculptra injections tend to last upwards of 24 months. Filler results may last longer on the body than on the face because there is less movement.

The cost of your body filler treatment varies based on the type of filler, the number of units, and the number of sessions. The amount of filler you need will depend on the treatment area and the result you are trying to achieve. For example, dosing varies between adding volume to the buttocks and smoothing the skin above the knees. The knees will require significantly less filler. Dr. Patel will happily discuss these considerations during your consultation.
