Restore Smooth, Youthful Contours with Expert Injections by Dr. Benjamin Stong
As we age, lines and creases around the mouth and nose become more prominent, often making the face look tired or older than it feels. Nasolabial folds (the creases running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) and smile lines (also known as laugh lines) are some of the most common concerns for patients seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation.
At Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Dr. Benjamin Stong, a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, offers advanced facial filler treatments to smooth these lines, restore youthful volume, and rejuvenate your appearance—all with natural, elegant results.
Dr. Stong did an amazing job. I had an eyebrow lift, eyelids, face and neck lift. It’s only been 3.5 weeks and I am thrilled with the new me already! He is highly qualified and I recommend him without hesitation. He and his office staff are professional, available and eager to make your experience a positive one.
Why Nasolabial Folds and Smile Lines Appear
Over time, repeated facial expressions, natural aging, and a gradual loss of collagen and fat contribute to visible folds and creases around the mouth:
- Nasolabial Folds: Deep lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Smile or Laugh Lines: Wrinkles that form around the mouth when smiling or laughing
Other contributing factors include sun exposure, skin laxity, and volume loss in the cheeks, which can make these lines appear deeper. While skincare can improve skin health, dermal fillers are the most effective non-surgical solution for softening these lines and restoring youthful contours.

- Enhance facial balance for a refreshed, natural look

Your Facial Filler Treatment Experience
Your treatment at Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery is designed to be comfortable and efficient:
- Personalized Consultation: Dr. Stong carefully evaluates your facial anatomy and discusses your goals.
- Custom Filler Selection & Placement Plan: He selects the ideal filler type and strategically maps out the injection points.
- Precise Injection Technique: Fillers are administered in-office, typically in 30 minutes or less, with immediate visible improvement.
Patients can return to their daily activities right after treatment, though minor swelling or redness may appear for 1–2 days.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of filler results depends on the product used and your individual metabolism, but most patients enjoy 6–12 months of correction, with some premium fillers lasting longer. Regular touch-ups help maintain smooth, youthful contours over time.
Combining Fillers with Other Treatments
For a comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr. Stong may combine fillers with other non-surgical treatments, such as:
- Botox® for dynamic expression lines around the eyes or forehead
- Skin resurfacing to improve texture and tone
- Cheek or chin fillers to restore youthful facial balance
This multi-dimensional approach can create the most natural and lasting results.
