Restore volume and define contour. Lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, tear troughs, planned around proportion, never volume for its own sake.
Filler is a hyaluronic-acid (or calcium-hydroxylapatite) gel used to restore volume the face has lost, refine a contour, or balance proportion. It is not a face-lift, a filter, or a fix for tired sleep. Done well, it is unrecognizable as treatment. You simply look like yourself, refined.
We work proportion-first. That means a plan that begins with the bones of your face: the angle of the jaw, the height of the cheek, the support beneath the eye. Lip projection or chin balance follow from that, never the reverse.
Resilient HA, moves with expression. Default for tear trough, lip, perioral.
Ideal for dynamic areas like perioral lines, lips, and under-eye areas.
Lifting capacity for cheek and midface. Lasts ~18 months in most clients.
Lift, support, restore the angle that drops with time.
Hydration, definition, a gentle flip, never inflation.
Bring proportion back to the lower face. Subtle but structural.
Soften shadow under the eye when the anatomy supports it.
Soften lines around the mouth and corners.
Structural support that frames the upper face.
“The art of filler is knowing where support matters, and where restraint matters more.”
We map the bones of your face, talk through goals, and plan in proportion. No pressure to treat the day-of.
Topical anesthetic, sterile prep, photographs from three angles for your chart.
Injections placed by Dr. Caridi personally, cannula or needle as the anatomy calls for. Calm and conservative.
We will check in with you at two weeks to assess results and discuss any refinements needed.

Have a question we haven't covered? Text the practice, Dr. Caridi answers personally.
Not in our hands. We treat with restraint and proportion. Most people in your life will say you look rested — they will not say you've had filler. If a client asks for a more pronounced result, we discuss it explicitly and stage it.
Lip filler typically lasts 9–12 months. Cheek and jawline products (Voluma) last 15–18 months in most clients. Tear trough placement can last well over a year because of how slowly the area metabolises product.
Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. The goal of a careful first plan is to not need to.
Topical anesthetic is applied for 15 minutes. Most filler products contain lidocaine. Most clients describe the experience as a series of brief pressures rather than pain.
Yes — frequently. We assess what's still present (filler can persist longer than the literature suggests), dissolve selectively if needed, and rebuild from proportion. This is one of the most common consults in the practice.
You don't have to. The product follows the plan, and the plan follows the anatomy. We'll walk you through what we'd recommend and why before we open a single syringe.
Frequently paired with filler — soften expression lines while volume restores structure.
For the long game on skin quality. Stages well with filler over a 6–12 month plan.
