Filler Myths That Keep People from Getting Great Results

You finally booked that filler appointment — but how do you ensure your results look amazing and last? While high-quality products like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra® play a big role, the real key to success often lies in what happens before and after your treatment.

At Novéra Med SPA in Frisco, Texas, Jenine Referente, FNP-C, and Kayla Posada, CLT, know that even subtle misconceptions can impact how satisfied you feel with your results. Let’s separate filler facts from fiction — so you can get (and keep) the refreshed, natural look you’re after.

Myth 1: All fillers are created equal

Different fillers serve different purposes. Some are soft and flexible for your lips, while others are firm for lifting cheeks or defining the jawline. Even within the same brand, products are designed for unique goals.

That’s why a personalized approach matters. At Novéra, we choose the ideal filler for your facial anatomy and aesthetic vision — not just what’s popular on social media. The right match ensures natural, balanced results that move beautifully with your expressions.

Myth 2: Once it is injected, the work is done

Your filler results don’t stop developing the moment you leave the chair. Aftercare plays a big role in how long your results last and how smooth they appear.

To protect your investment, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and direct sun exposure for the first 24 hours — and always keeping your skin hydrated. These simple steps help minimize swelling and extend the life of your filler.

Myth 3: You can shop around for the “best deal”

Your injector’s skill matters more than the syringe. An inexperienced injector might place filler too shallowly, use the wrong formula, or overlook your facial symmetry.

At Novéra, our licensed aesthetic professionals have years of advanced training and hands-on experience with facial anatomy and filler placement. We understand the artistry of subtle corrections and natural enhancements — the kind that earns compliments, not questions.

Myth 4: Fillers replace good skincare

Dermal fillers are great for lifting saggy skin and jowls, smoothing wrinkles and creases, and restoring volume to lips and cheeks, but if your skincare routine isn’t the best, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Taking good care of your skin by keeping it healthy and hydrated not only boosts your filler results but also gives your face a beautiful glow that fillers alone can’t achieve.

The bottom line is that fillers shape your facial structure, while skincare maintains its canvas. Regular facials, sun protection, and medical-grade skincare maintain your best results.

Myth 5: One session fixes everything

You may notice some improvement right away, but for stunning results, plan on several treatments. For example, Sculptra® works by gradually building collagen over several sessions. Even hyaluronic acid fillers can benefit from touch-ups that fine-tune balance and symmetry.

Maintenance isn’t about needing more — it’s about keeping your look consistent, natural, and in harmony with how your face evolves.

Getting the best filler results starts here

The truth is, fillers don’t create great results — artistry, precision, and care do. When you understand how fillers really work, you can enjoy enhancements that look effortless, last longer, and leave you feeling like your most confident self.
