Subtle Volume. Lasting Confidence.
For many patients, aging isn’t about feeling older—it’s about looking tired, deflated, or uneven. Facial volume loss, etched-in lines, or hollow cheeks can create a look that doesn’t reflect how you feel. If you’ve started noticing these changes and want a way to look more refreshed without surgery, you’re not alone.
With 20 years of experience in facial aesthetics, Dr. Monica Bonakdar understands the impact of the aging process on the face and its features. She encourages her younger clients to start a customized 'Prejuvenation' plan to minimize the signs of aging and maximize their beauty potential. Alternatively, she expertly guides her more mature clients, who are already experiencing aging changes, through a customized 'Rejuvenation' plan to help reverse these changes. In both instances—'Prejuvenation' and 'Rejuvenation'—Dr. Bonakdar is a strong advocate for incorporating facial fillers into a comprehensive aesthetic plan. At Bonakdar Aesthetics in Newport Beach, these treatments are applied with strategy and care to truly rejuvenate and enhance the beauty of each client.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments composed of gel-like substances, such as hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the human body. These injectable fillers are used to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. At Bonakdar Aesthetics, we utilize a range of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to help our patients achieve natural-looking results without the need for surgery.
Fillers can treat:
As we age, facial volume decreases, and skin begins to lose its elasticity. This contributes to the appearance of deep wrinkles, dynamic wrinkles, sagging skin, and hollow features. Injectable dermal fillers help address the underlying cause—volume loss—by plumping the skin and stimulating collagen production in some cases.
Fillers can:
While dermal fillers are most commonly used on the face, treatment areas can include:
Fillers offer a minimally invasive treatment with no downtime and instant results. At Bonakdar Aesthetics, many patients opt for fillers to avoid surgery while still achieving a refreshed, elegant appearance.
Benefits include:
Am I a Candidate for Fillers?
Ideal candidates are healthy adults experiencing volume loss, fine lines, or facial aging who want to enhance their appearance without surgery. You may not be a candidate if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions.
We’ll review your full health history during your consultation to ensure optimal treatment and safety.
A typical session lasts 30–60 minutes:
Dr. Bonakdar’s technique focuses on building a refreshed, youthful structure rather than simply filling lines. Each injection is purposeful, often using multiple injections across treatment areas to maintain facial harmony.
Patients describe the experience as gentle, and many say it feels more like a facial refresh than a procedure.
You’ll see results immediately, with continued improvement as swelling subsides. Depending on the product:
Results vary depending on your metabolism, product used, and placement strategy. Dr. Bonakdar will guide you through a personalized plan to achieve natural-looking results and long-term satisfaction.
Recovery is minimal. You may resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend:
Bruising or mild tenderness at injection sites may occur. These typically resolve within a few days.
To maintain natural-looking volume and ensure long-term patient satisfaction, we recommend regular maintenance visits every 6–12 months, as outlined in your personalized treatment plan.
Good skincare, sun protection, and healthy lifestyle choices will extend the results. For those incorporating fillers into a larger anti-aging routine, we may recommend skin care products or complementary procedures for best outcomes.
