You may not realize it, but getting facial filler in Tucson provides aesthetic benefits beyond smoothing wrinkles. In fact, many patients find that these injectable formulas help enhance facial contours, creating a more balanced, symmetrical look.
At Larson Plastic Surgery and ZL Med Spa, we provide facelifts to restore youthful contours and smooth wrinkles. But sometimes, patients aren’t quite ready for a surgical procedure. In that case, our nonsurgical practice can help you feel more confident in your appearance through subtle, strategic treatments.
From head to toe, we provide minimally invasive facial and body contouring (aka body sculpting) treatments. While body services target excess fat, facial services target the lack thereof, also known as volume loss. Here’s how we use facial fillers to balance your features.
Why a Physician-Led Approach Matters
Choosing facial fillers in Tucson shouldn’t feel like guessing. With physician oversight and credentialed injectors (including Laura Zimmerman, NP, CANS), your plan starts with proportion, expression, and tissue quality—not a one-size-fits-all syringe count. We use conservative, buildable dosing so you look rested and balanced, not overdone.
Because we practice in the desert, we also factor in Tucson realities—UV, heat, and dryness—to set expectations for swelling and aftercare. You’ll know which product we chose and why, the timeline for results, and exactly how to maintain them with medical-grade skincare and sun protection.
Jawline Contouring
Fillers enhance your jawline contour while simultaneously camouflaging sagging skin and wrinkles in the area. Our hyaluronic acid-based products reduce the appearance of a recessed chin by creating more definition between your jawline and neck. The added volume creates a sharper angle, helping to make your jawline more harmonious with the rest of your face.

Jawline and Chin
Filler can visually sharpen the jawline by camouflaging soft tissue dips and improving the chin–neck transition.
If submental fullness is the dominant issue, we’ll talk fat-reduction options (like chin liposuction) so your profile appears how you want it to look in photos and real life. For significant skeletal retrusion, a surgical chin implant may outperform filler long-term. You’ll always get a candid, treatment-agnostic recommendation that matches your goals and timeline.
Enhanced Cheekbones
Facial volume loss happens over time as we age, but occasionally, it can happen rapidly, especially after significant weight loss. To restore that definition, we can inject fillers for immediate volume restoration. For a more gradual, yet longer-lasting approach to redefining your cheekbones, we also offer Sculptra to stimulate collagen production.

Choosing Structure vs. Softness, HA vs Sculptra
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers give instant cheek contour and are highly shapeable (and reversible). They’re ideal when you want precise lift along the cheekbone or to soften the midface right away.
Sculptra works differently because it prompts your own collagen to rebuild the “scaffold” under the skin. Results appear gradually and last longer. Many patients choose a hybrid plan that includes subtle HA for immediate definition, plus Sculptra for quiet structural support over months.
If you’re weighing options for facial fillers in Tucson, we’ll map both paths on photos so you can see how each choice would look on your features.
Fuller Lips
Fillers can increase the volume of your lips and improve their shape. Others also observe uneven lips; for example, one lip might be larger, or one side fuller. Lip filler improves and corrects that asymmetry, creating more harmony to your pout.

Technique, Longevity & Safety for Natural Lips
Our lip philosophy is shape first, size second. We respect natural proportions, enhance definition at the border when appropriate, and add supple volume to the body of the lip to keep movement soft and natural.
Longevity varies by product and metabolism, but most lip fillers last 6 to 12 months. Expect a day or two of swelling; we’ll share Tucson-smart aftercare (sleep elevated, avoid heat/exertion, SPF 30+) to minimize downtime. We use FDA-approved HA fillers, and if you ever want to reverse an HA result, hyaluronidase makes that possible.
If you’re exploring lip fillers in Tucson, we’ll start conservatively and build only if you want more after things settle.
What to Expect
Consultation
We review goals, take photos, and plan treatment around your goals and natural proportions. You’ll leave with a clear, no-pressure roadmap that may include HA fillers, Sculptra, or skin-quality support like skincare products or resurfacing treatments.
Treatment day
We have a variety of numbing options available, and we use needle or cannula techniques by area and move at an unhurried pace so you feel comfortable and informed at each step of the process.
After
Mild swelling or bruising can happen for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise and heat the first day, sleep with your head elevated, and use mineral SPF 30+ during the day. Results from HA fillers are visible immediately and refine over 2 weeks, while Sculptra builds gradually over months.
Follow-Up
Your provider will check in around 2 weeks after your treatment to confirm symmetry and settling. If touch-ups are needed, we keep them subtle so your results stay you—just refreshed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do fillers last?
Cheek fillers can last 12 to 18 months, with lip fillers commonly lasting 6 to 12 months. Under-eye longevity varies. We’ll tailor a maintenance plan that fits your goals and calendar.
Will I look “overfilled”?
We start conservatively, place product where structure—not size—creates balance, and let things settle before we add more. Planning photos guide our choices so your features remain “you,” just refreshed. We also tailor gel softness to the area (firmer for lift, softer where there’s more movement) and schedule a two-week check to fine-tune your results from facial fillers in Tucson, if needed. Subtle, buildable dosing is how we keep results looking natural from day one.
ARE FILLERS SAFE?
In the right hands and setting, fillers have a strong safety record—and we stack the deck in your favor. Before we treat, we review your health history, meds, and cold-sore risk. On the day of your appointment, your provider will prep the skin properly and use FDA-approved products with known reversibility. Technique matters, too: anatomy-guided placement, slow micro-aliquots, and cannulas in select areas reduce risk while keeping results smooth.
Find Balance and Boost Confidence
We want you to love what you see in the mirror, and not fixate on minor asymmetries. That’s why we offer facial filler in Tucson to enhance your natural beauty. We use injectables sparingly and strategically to restore your youthful contours and improve facial harmony.
