Filler has a reputation problem, and it comes from a small number of very visible results rather than from the products themselves. What produces those results is volume placed without regard to where it should sit, in quantities the face cannot carry. Placed correctly, filler restores what the face has lost and nobody can tell you have had anything done, which is the point of it.
Sam Assassa, MD has directed hundreds of hands-on injectable training courses for physicians and nurses across more than 15 countries and three continents, teaching the same filler techniques he uses in his own treatment rooms. He founded Beverly Hills Aesthetics in 1995 and is board certified in Internal Medicine. Dr. Assassa founded the American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery and has served as its President since 2006. He is a certified educator for the International Academy of Aesthetics. Dr. Assassa has performed more than 25,000 aesthetic procedures.
“Filler goes wrong in one of two ways. Too much, or the right amount in the wrong plane. Neither is a product problem.” — Sam Assassa, MD

At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, we specialize in treating aging chest with Radiesse, an FDA-approved state-of-the-art dermal filler and wrinkle remover.
Read More about DERMAL FILLERS FOR CHEST REJUVENATIONTypes of Filler and What Each Is For
- Hyaluronic Acid: Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Belotero® and related products. A substance the body already produces, reversible with an enzyme, lasting six to eighteen months depending on product and placement. The default choice for most areas and the right choice for a first treatment.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite: Radiesse®. Firmer and more structural, used where support and lift matter more than softness, lasting a year or more. Not reversible.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid: Sculptra®. Not a volumiser in the usual sense. It stimulates your own collagen over several months across a series of sessions, so the change appears gradually. Not reversible.
- Autologous Fat: Your own tissue, harvested and reinjected. A portion establishes a blood supply and persists long term. The most durable option and the most involved procedure.
Which product suits a given area is a technical decision rather than a preference. A dense structural filler placed superficially under thin skin shows, and a soft filler placed deep for support does not hold. Detail on the specific products is on the fillers we use page.
A Refined Approach to Facial Volume and Contour
Dermal fillers are not simply about adding volume, they are about restoring proportion and enhancing the natural structure of the face. The placement, depth, and distribution of filler play a critical role in achieving a natural-looking result.
At Beverly Hills Aesthetics, treatments are approached with a focus on:
- Enhancing facial structure and symmetry
- Restoring volume in a balanced and controlled way
- Softening lines without overcorrection
- Maintaining natural facial movement and expression
This technique-driven approach allows for results that look refined and consistent with the patient’s overall appearance.
Why Experience Matters with Dermal Fillers
Injectable treatments require a high level of precision, particularly in areas where small changes can significantly impact facial balance.
Dr. Assassa’s experience includes:
- Volume Of Experience: More than 25,000 aesthetic procedures performed since 1995.

This level of experience helps ensure that treatments are not only effective, but also tailored to the individual’s facial structure and long-term goals.
