Understanding Volume Restoration Options

If you’re noticing volume loss in the face—whether it’s sunken cheeks, hollow temples, or thinning under-eyes—there are two powerful aesthetic options available: dermal fillers and Sculptra. At Plump Medical Spa in Santa Ana, we tailor each treatment to match your anatomy and goals, offering services across Orange County, including Irvine, Newport Beach, Tustin, and Costa Mesa.

All injections are performed exclusively by Dr. Amir Mortazavi, ensuring the highest level of medical precision and natural results that whisper, not shout.

Dermal Fillers: Instant Lift and Contour

  • What it is: Hyaluronic acid-based gels like Juvederm or Restylane.

  • How it works: Adds volume by plumping tissue under the skin.

  • Onset: Immediate.

  • Longevity: 6–18 months depending on type and area.

  • Best for: Lips, cheeks, jawline, under-eyes, nasolabial folds.

Dermal fillers are ideal for patients who want quick, customizable results. They’re particularly popular in Irvine and Costa Mesa for restoring mid-face fullness and sculpting jawlines.

Sculptra: Build Collagen Naturally

  • What it is: Poly-L-lactic acid, a biostimulatory injectable.

  • How it works: Stimulates your own collagen production over time.

  • Onset: Gradual (4–8 weeks).

  • Longevity: Up to 2 years.

  • Best for: Deep volume loss, facial hollowness, temples, cheeks.

Sculptra offers a subtle, regenerative solution for those who prefer long-term structure without the use of gel-like fillers. Our clients in Tustin and Newport Beach often choose Sculptra for its ability to rebuild youthful contours over time.

FAQs: Volume Restoration in Orange County

  1. Can I combine dermal fillers and Sculptra?
    Yes, a strategic combination can offer both immediate and long-lasting results.

  2. Which is more cost-effective long term?
    Sculptra lasts longer but requires a series of treatments. Fillers offer faster results but may need more frequent touch-ups.

  3. Are results from Sculptra natural-looking?
    Extremely. It builds collagen gradually for a more subtle change.

    Minimal discomfort. We use numbing cream and gentle technique.

  5. Is there any downtime?
    Mild swelling or bruising may occur for 1–2 days.

    Both are FDA-approved and safe when administered by an expert like Dr. Amir.

    Most patients need 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
