Injectable filler cost at Dr. Anita Medical Aesthetics is set at a consultation, not from a price list. The price depends on the filler chosen (Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse), the areas treated, how much product you need and how many visits it takes. Dr. Anita Dormer, MD, confirms it before any treatment.
This guide explains what goes into the price of dermal fillers, how long each product lasts and what to ask, so you can compare quotes fairly. It also covers under-eye filler cost. To book a consultation in Cashiers, NC, call (828) 998-2798.
Why is there no fixed price for injectable fillers?
Filler is priced per patient because no two faces need the same work. Dermal fillers are gels injected under the skin to add volume or soften folds. One patient may need a small amount along the lip border. Another may need volume in both cheeks and the jawline. Those two plans use very different amounts of product and different products. A price quoted before anyone has looked at your face would be a guess. That is why Dr. Anita assesses your facial anatomy, skin quality, volume loss and goals first. She then sets out the plan and the cost. Nothing goes ahead until you have the figure and are comfortable with it. Our approach is to enhance your natural features rather than fill every line, which often means less product placed with care. Individual results vary.
What affects the cost of dermal fillers?
Four things set the cost: the product chosen, the area treated, the amount of product needed and the number of sessions. Your goals and your medical history shape all four. The product matters because we offer three filler families, each made for different jobs. The area matters because cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, lips and under-eye hollows each need a different amount and technique. The amount matters because filler is used in measured quantities, and a larger area or deeper fold usually takes more. The number of sessions matters because some plans are staged across two or more visits, so the result can be built up gently. When you compare prices between clinics, compare the whole plan, not a single figure per syringe (the unit filler is supplied in). Ask what product is planned, how much, for which areas and over how many visits.
How long does each filler last?
How long filler lasts changes what you spend over a year, because results are temporary and most patients return for maintenance. The table shows how the products compare. Individual results vary with the area, your metabolism and how your body responds.
| Filler | What it is made of | How long results often last |
|---|---|---|
| Restylane | Hyaluronic acid (a gel that holds water under the skin) | Varies by product and area, confirmed at consultation |
| Juvederm | Hyaluronic acid | 6 months to 2 years, depending on product and area |
| Radiesse | Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, tiny calcium-based spheres in a gel) | Varies by area and your collagen response, confirmed at consultation |
| Lip filler (hyaluronic acid) | Hyaluronic acid | Often 6 to 12 months |
A product that lasts longer is not automatically better value. The right product is the one that suits the area. Dr. Anita talks through maintenance intervals at your consultation, so you can plan both the look and the budget.
Restylane, Juvederm or Radiesse: does the product change the price?
Yes, the product chosen is one of the things that sets the price. We offer Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse because no single filler suits every face or area. Restylane and Juvederm are families of hyaluronic acid fillers, with different products made for different parts of the face. Radiesse works differently. It gives immediate support and also prompts your body to make its own collagen (the protein that gives skin structure) as the gel is absorbed. It is often chosen for the jawline, chin, deeper folds and the backs of the hands. A hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase (an enzyme that breaks down the gel) if needed, which is part of why it is often used in delicate areas. Ask at your consultation why a product has been chosen for you. Using a brand at our practice does not mean we have a partnership with its maker. You can compare the products on our Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse pages.
How much does under-eye filler cost?
Under-eye filler is priced at consultation, like every filler treatment, because the amount and product depend on your anatomy. We treat under-eye hollows for selected candidates only. That means Dr. Anita first checks whether filler is the right answer for your under-eye area at all. Dark circles can come from hollowing, skin color, thin skin or puffiness, and filler only addresses hollowing. If filler is not suitable, she will say so, and there is no treatment cost. When it is suitable, the under-eye area usually takes a careful, small amount of hyaluronic acid filler placed with precision. Some patients have it staged, with a review once swelling settles before any top-up. Bruising and swelling can occur in this area, and Dr. Anita explains the risks in full before you decide. Ask about the product, the amount and whether a review visit is included in the price.
What is included in a filler visit?
A treatment visit includes your assessment, the treatment and aftercare guidance. Every treatment begins with a consultation, where Dr. Anita evaluates your facial anatomy, skin quality, volume loss and goals. Treatment is then carried out by Dr. Anita Dormer, MD, herself. She launched her cosmetic medical practice in 2000, after more than 20 years as a critical care and pulmonary specialist. Her published biography describes her as a triple-boarded, fellowship-trained physician. Afterward you get aftercare instructions to help with swelling and bruising, and follow-up is recommended where needed. Most patients see a change straight after treatment, with the result settling over the following days to weeks. Treatment can often happen on the day of your consultation, but not always. If something needs attention first, or a staged plan suits you better, treatment is booked for another visit. You can read about her background on the Meet Dr. Anita Dormer page.
What are the risks of injectable fillers?
Filler is a medical treatment, and it carries risks. Mild swelling, redness, bruising or tenderness at the injection sites can occur and is usually temporary. Not everyone is a suitable candidate. Dr. Anita asks about your medical history, any medicines that thin the blood, past filler and your general health before she treats. Sometimes the right answer is to wait, or not to treat. She explains the risks, the contraindications (reasons a treatment may not be safe for you) and the aftercare at your consultation. That way you can weigh them against the result you hope for before you agree to anything. No outcome can be promised, and results are temporary.

Questions patients ask about filler cost
Is a filler price given over the phone?
No, the price is confirmed at your assessment. It depends on the product, the area, the amount and the number of visits, and Dr. Anita needs to see your face to judge those.
Why do some clinics quote a price per syringe?
A per-syringe price tells you only part of the cost. The total depends on how many syringes your plan needs, which product is used and how many visits it takes, so ask for the whole plan.
Filler or a neuromodulator: which one is needed?
It depends on the concern. Neuromodulators such as Botox work on muscle activity behind moving lines, while fillers add volume and contour. Some patients need one, some both, and Dr. Anita advises after assessing you.
Can filler be dissolved if the result is not liked?
Hyaluronic acid filler, such as Restylane and Juvederm, can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid filler, which is one reason product choice is discussed carefully.
