How much do dermal fillers cost at BHRC Westlake Village?+
Dermal fillers at BHRC Westlake Village start at $750 per syringe for hyaluronic acid products. The total cost depends on the number of syringes needed for your goals. Lip augmentation typically uses 0.5–1 syringe; cheek restoration commonly requires 1–2 syringes per side; comprehensive full-face treatment may use 3–6+ syringes. During your consultation, your BHRC injector will provide a personalized estimate.
What fillers does BHRC Westlake Village use?+
BHRC Westlake Village uses the full Juvederm collection (Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, Ultra, Ultra Plus) and Restylane family (Lyft, Defyne, Refyne, Kysse, Contour). Different products have different viscosities and lift capacities — for example, Juvederm Voluma is used for deep cheek structure while Volbella is ideal for fine lip lines. Your injector will select the appropriate product for each area.
Are dermal fillers reversible?+
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the only fillers reversible with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If a BHRC Westlake Village patient is unhappy with a result or experiences a complication, hyaluronidase can dissolve the HA filler. This is one of the major safety advantages of HA-based fillers over permanent alternatives. Radiesse and Sculptra are not reversible but are not HA-based.
How long do dermal fillers last at BHRC Westlake Village?+
Duration varies by product and treatment area. Thinner fillers used in lips (Volbella, Kysse) typically last 6–12 months. Mid-face fillers (Voluma, Lyft) in high-movement areas last 12–18 months. Structural fillers used in the cheeks or jawline can persist for 18–24+ months. Filler metabolism is also influenced by individual factors — more active patients with higher metabolic rates may break down filler faster.
Does filler hurt?+
Most BHRC Westlake Village filler products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, making injections progressively more comfortable as treatment proceeds. Ice is applied pre-injection and topical numbing cream is available. Sensitive areas like lips may benefit from a dental block (nerve block) for maximum comfort. Most patients find the experience very tolerable.
Is there downtime after fillers at BHRC Westlake Village?+
Most patients experience mild swelling and possible bruising for 3–7 days after filler injections. Lip treatments typically produce the most swelling — often significant on days 1–2, resolving by day 5–7. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours and staying upright for several hours post-injection. Most BHRC Westlake Village patients return to normal activities the same day.
What is a liquid rhinoplasty and does BHRC Westlake Village offer it?+
A liquid rhinoplasty (non-surgical nose job) uses filler to reshape the nose without surgery — smoothing bumps, lifting the tip, or improving symmetry. BHRC Westlake Village offers liquid rhinoplasty performed by experienced injectors who understand nasal anatomy and the safety considerations of this treatment. Results typically last 12–18 months and can be reversed if desired.
Can filler migrate or look unnatural at BHRC Westlake Village?+
In expert hands using appropriate product selection and placement technique, fillers look completely natural and do not migrate. Problems associated with filler migration typically stem from using the wrong product viscosity for an area, overfilling, or improper placement depth. BHRC Westlake Village injectors are physician-supervised and trained specifically in anatomical planes and safe injection techniques.
