Dermal Fillers in NYC | Facial Fillers & Lip Fillers
Restore Volume. Reveal Your Glow.
Dermal fillers are a gentle, effective way to restore lost volume, smooth facial lines, and help you look refreshed and like yourself again.
As we age, it’s natural for facial volume to decrease as subcutaneous fat diminishes, skin loses elasticity, and factors like sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle make lines like smile lines and crow’s feet more noticeable. Fortunately, these changes can be gently and effectively addressed with the help of a knowledgeable and skilled injector.
At Murray Hill Plastic Surgery in New York City, we take a precise, anatomy-based approach to dermal fillers. Dr. M. Zakir Sabry, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, brings the same careful precision to injectables that he does to surgery. He prioritizes subtle enhancements that soften lines, replace volume, and enhance your features while preserving your unique expression and individuality. Many patients feel more confident and look more rested with virtually no downtime.

What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, improve facial contours, and support the skin’s underlying structure. Depending on the product used, fillers may work by immediately adding volume, stimulating collagen production, or both.
Each filler behaves differently in the tissue, which is why product selection and injector experience matter so much.
Fillers can be used to:
- Soften fine lines and deeper folds
- Restore volume lost with aging
- Improve facial symmetry and balance
- Enhance lips, cheeks, jawline, or chin
- Improve skin quality over time
What Is Dr. Sabry’s Philosophy on Fillers?
Dr. Sabry treats injectable treatments as structural medicine, not surface cosmetics. He evaluates:
- Bone structure
- Fat distribution
- Skin thickness and elasticity
- Facial movement and expression
- Overall balance from multiple angles
Every treatment plan is individualized. Some patients benefit from subtle, immediate volume. Others are better candidates for collagen-stimulating products that work gradually over time. If filler is not the right solution, or if less is better, Dr. Sabry will tell you honestly.
Types of Fillers
Juvéderm™ Family of Fillers
Juvéderm Ultra & Ultra Plus XC
These hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used to:
- Smooth moderate to deep facial wrinkles
- Add volume to the lips
- Soften nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Ultra is softer and more flexible, while Ultra Plus provides more structure for deeper folds. Both include lidocaine (XC) for improved comfort.
Juvéderm Voluma XC
Voluma is designed for deep structural support, particularly in the midface.
Best used for:
- Restoring cheek volume
- Lifting sagging contours
- Improving facial balance
Voluma provides long-lasting support and is often used to subtly lift the face without surgery.
Restylane™ Fillers
Restylane Lyft
Restylane Lyft is a firmer filler used for:
- Cheek augmentation
- Midface volume loss
- Structural contouring
It provides strong support while maintaining a natural look when placed correctly.
Restylane Silk
Silk is a smoother, more refined filler ideal for:
- Lip definition
- Fine lines around the mouth
- Subtle lip enhancement
It’s often chosen for patients who want refinement rather than dramatic volume.
Belotero™
Belotero is a very soft hyaluronic acid filler designed to integrate seamlessly into the skin. Belotero is excellent when subtlety is the priority.
Best for:
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Under-eye hollows (in appropriate candidates)
- Areas where smooth blending is essential
Radiesse™
Radiesse is a calcium-based filler that provides immediate volume and also stimulates collagen production over time.
Common uses include:
- Jawline contouring
- Chin enhancement
- Lower face support
- Hand rejuvenation
It offers structure and longevity but requires precise placement by an experienced injector.
Sculptra™
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra is a collagen stimulator.
Instead of instant volume, it works gradually to:
- Improve skin thickness
- Restore volume lost to aging
- Strengthen underlying support
Results develop over several months and can last for years. Sculptra is ideal for patients who want subtle, long-term improvement without looking “overdone.”
Autologous Cell Therapy (Natural Regenerative Options)
Autologous cell therapy uses your body’s own biological materials to support skin quality and tissue health. Since these therapies rely on your own cells, results are natural and progressive rather than immediate.
These treatments may help:
- Improve skin texture and tone
- Support collagen production
- Enhance overall skin vitality

What to Expect During Your Filler Consultation Experience?
Your filler consultation is always conducted directly with Dr. Sabry, never with a coordinator or assistant. During your visit, he will take the time to discuss your concerns and aesthetic goals, carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and skin quality, and recommend the most appropriate filler products, or combination of products, based on what will truly benefit you. He will also explain realistic outcomes, expected longevity, and any limitations of treatment, making sure you fully understand your options.
Patients often appreciate Dr. Sabry’s conservative, educational approach, as he never rushes decisions and prioritizes natural, well-balanced results over unnecessary treatment.
What to Expect During Treatment?

Sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes with little to no downtime. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities the same day.

What can lip fillers achieve for my lips?
Lip fillers in NYC are a gentle way to add subtle volume, enhance definition, smooth fine lines around the mouth, correct asymmetry, or create a fuller yet natural pout.
