Fillers
What are Dermal fillers?
A Fine Line Aesthetics offers a broad array of facial fillers to ensure that we offer all possible options to suit the needs of every unique face. There are so many options available when it comes to facial fillers that it may become overwhelming to decide which is best for you and your goals. We will be happy to discuss your goals, review your facial characteristics and guide you down the path we feel will optimize your outcome.
We are proud to be partners with Allergan, Galderma, Evolus and Merz to ensure that we are able to provide a vast array of options to meet all needs.
Hyaluronic acid, or HA, is a naturally occurring substance that delivers volume and support to the structures of the face and skin. It is the most commonly used filler substance and has maintained its predictability, consistency of expected outcomes and safety profile. A unique feature of hyaluronic acid fillers is that it is potentially reversible in the rare event of need.
At AFL we offer the JUVÉDERM® family of fillers, the RESTYLANE portfolio, BELOTERO and now VERSA. With all of these amazing options we are able to address pretty much any non-surgical concern of the face whether it is to add volume to plump lips, smooth lines, or lift & contour cheeks—we have what you need to get the results you want.
Dermal fillers are an amazing treatment and will likely remain a mainstay in the anti-aging world. As a patient, it is important that you do your research thoroughly about who you choose to perform your injections. Although we all love seeing and reading about all the beautiful before and after stories, we cannot ignore the process in between as well as the risks one accepts in order to have these procedures done. Your injector should be very well versed on facial anatomy as well as facial injection anatomy as these two topics are not interchangeable. We are proud to share our experience, credentials and wealth of knowledge with you as embark upon your injectable journey.
Complementary consultation required
What Areas of my face can be treated with fillers?
Fillers can be used all over the face to treat a variety of areas. In the upper face, fillers can be used in the tear trough, or the deep groove and dark circle under the eye to restore volume and reduce the look of dark circles and a tired appearance. Volume is often added to the cheeks and cheekbones with filler to improve the appearance of lower wrinkles and restore the youthful cheek appearance.
Dermal fillers can also be placed in the thin and deeper wrinkles of the lower face and around the mouth and jowls. These can create more fullness and reduce the appearance of sagging and aging sing in this location.
Fillers are also being used for liquid rhinoplasty, a noninvasive technique used to improve the appearance and harmony of the nose with the facial anatomy. Deep fillers can be used to contour the face, creating a more defined jawline, chin or cheekbone to provide more structure and improve the shape of the face.
How much do fillers cost?
Our price is $900 for a syringe of filler. Keep in mind that multiple syringes of the product may be needed for the desired outcome. At A Fine Line Aesthetics, our consultations for injections are complimentary.
Who injects my fillers?
Zainab Jishi MS, PA-C
Zainab is native to the metro-Detroit area and has lived here all her life. She is a mother of 3, wife and PA, in that order. She has a very family-oriented lifestyle which is often experienced by her patients as she does treat everyone she encounters as family. She very frequently tells her patients, “if it is not something I would do to myself or family, I will not offer it to you or anyone else.” She is very critical with just about everything she is involved in which makes her very analytical about details prior to forming plans or opinions. She is a straight shooter, unable to “sugar coat” so you can rest assured you will always get an honest opinion from her. She feels impeccable communication is an absolute must when involving patient care, especially when involving elective aesthetic goals. She recognizes that patients have a choice about where to go to seek their services and she is humbled by every single individual who entrusts their goals to her. At an early age, Zainab began her undergraduate academic career at the University of Michigan – Dearborn while still enrolled as a high-school student. Upon formal initiation of her undergraduate career she was accepted to the University of Michigan – Dearborn with a University issued full-tuition scholarship. In 2005 she graduated with a B.S. in Biological Sciences, minoring in Psychology as well as a B.A. in Hispanic Studies in Spanish with a minor in Philosophy. Throughout her life she never really envisioned herself in a career outside of medicine. Although she tends to find something she enjoys in just about everything; the interaction between health, pathophysiology and human nature is where her true love lies. She loves interacting with people from all walks of life, as she believes that each personal interaction is a lesson of some sort and that it adds a jewel to your own character. Shortly after graduating, she got married in 2005, not realizing that she would eventually become an integral part of her husbands profession. After getting married, she helped her husband establish his private practice in Plastic Surgery. A challenging role however very fruitful. Very quickly she realized that her attention to detail, appreciation of balance and honest nature were a perfect compliment to the industry. After having established a robust practice and moving into a larger space she redirected her focus back on her own academics. She attended the University of Detroit Mercy where she obtained her M.S. in Physician Assistant Studies, Summa Cum Laude. Her intention while attending PA school was to always return to the Plastic Surgery setting to focus on Facial Aesthetics. Along the way however she developed another love, Emergency Medicine. The ambitious person that she is needed to have both. So upon completion of her studies she decided to work part time in the Emergency Department as well. She describes that setting as unlike anywhere else. She says “in the ED we are all focused on the same thing regardless of personal relationships, needs or wants. At that moment we all respect that only one thing matters and we all work together to accomplish it.” She feels the ED has further solidified her confidence in treating patients and enables her to put all emotions aside while in the face of conflict. She recognizes and appreciates what matters most. She feels the ED keeps her grounded, keeps her broader sense of medicine strong and continues to add jewels to who she is. After establishing A Fine Line Aesthetics she has had to limit her time spent in the ER however she has no intention of ever letting it go completely. In the Plastic Surgery setting, Zainab focuses on Facial Aesthetics and Non-Surgical options for Body Contouring, Feminine health and Skin Rejuvenation. She is in constant competition with herself which keeps her at the forefront of her industry constantly seeking additional learning experiences both near and far. She prides herself on natural outcomes and although she respects every patients desires, she does not shy away from refusing to provide service if she does not feel expectations are either realistic or safe. In addition to the very extensive training obtained by her husband, a Double Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon, Zainab has been trained by global leaders in the injectable world. She has completed multiple Masters Injector trainings, cadaver labs, and remains active with ongoing changes in the injectable world. Her diverse training experiences lends her a unique perspective and comprehensive approach when planning treatments for each individual patient. Click here to contact Zainab
