About dermal fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance facial volume, smooth lines, and refine features such as the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline. Dr. Koffman considers facial structure and balance before recommending an approach, with the goal of supporting natural-looking results.
Filler consultations are about proportion as much as volume. Dr. Koffman assesses the relationship between features, skin, facial movement, and your goals before discussing whether filler is appropriate and which areas should remain untouched.
Often discussed for
- Restoring lost facial volume
- Refining cheeks, lips, chin, or jawline
- Improving facial balance and symmetry

The FDA advises patients to treat filler injection as a medical procedure and to choose a licensed, experienced provider. Dr. Koffman will discuss benefits, limitations, and risks before treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Which areas can be treated?
The reference practice lists cheeks, lips, jawline, chin, and non-surgical rhinoplasty among the areas that may be discussed. Your consultation determines what is appropriate.
What is the goal of a filler consultation?
The goal is to assess proportion, structure, skin, movement, and your priorities before discussing whether filler is appropriate. More product is not automatically a better result.
Will my result look natural?
Dr. Koffman’s approach is focused on balance and individualized planning. A natural-looking result depends on your anatomy, the area treated, the product selected, and realistic expectations.
What should I expect after filler?
Temporary swelling, tenderness, or bruising can occur and vary by area and person. You will receive personalized instructions and should contact the practice if you have a concern.
Are fillers reversible?
Reversibility depends on the product and clinical situation. This is one of the important questions to discuss with Dr. Koffman before treatment rather than assuming all fillers behave the same way.
What are the important risks to discuss?
As with any medical procedure, fillers have risks and limitations, including swelling, bruising, infection, asymmetry, and rare but serious complications. A licensed medical provider should review these with you before treatment.
Are fillers right for everyone?
No treatment is right for every person. Dr. Koffman will review your goals and health history before recommending a plan.
