Fillers
The dermatologists at Midwest Medical Specialists utilize a variety of state-of-the-art fillers to rejuvenate the aging face. We are constantly evaluating and adding new fillers as they are introduced into the marketplace.
Fillers can improve skin texture and stimulate collagen growth from underneath the skin. They are especially useful for reducing the appearance of smile lines, accentuating cheekbones, filling in under eye circles, and revitalizing the lip line. The end result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal "downtime" and maximum safety.

The MMS arsenal of age-reversing fillers includes: Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, and Sculptra. Botox® Cosmetic is often used in conjunction with popular fillers after they are injected, to relax specific facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles.
MMS also performs autologous fat transfer (utilizing your fat tissue as filler), under the direction of Dr. Frank Koranda, an expert in the FAMI (Facial Fat Autograft Muscle Injection) technique.
Occasionally, our dermatologists use multiple fillers to achieve the best results. Some fillers provide longer-lasting results; others allow for more precision with fine lines, and still others can gradually bring the face into better balance, creating an overall rejuvenated appearance.
Filler substances do not involve major surgery and are generally cost effective; factors that are encouraging a growing number of MMS patients - both male and female - to turn to these youth-enhancing solutions.
PLEASE NOTE: Cosmetic procedures will not be submitted to insurance.
