Overview
The cosmetic surgeons of Prima Center for Plastic Surgery in Duluth, GA use injectable fillers, such as Radiesse, for patients who desire a nonsurgical way to decrease the visible appearance of wrinkles and facial lines. Radiesse is a dermal filler that is used for folds and wrinkles. It contains microspheres of a natural material called calcium hydroxyapatite (“hi-droxy-apa-tite”) in a water-based gel. This filler is used to fill moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth) and marionette lines (the creases that extend from the corner of the mouth down toward the chin).
Best Candidates
Good candidates are men or women who demonstrate:
- Deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Marionette lines
- Good skin tone
- Overall good health
What to Expect
During the consultation, the cosmetic surgeons of Prima Center for Plastic Surgery will evaluate the overall health of the skin and assess the amount of wrinkles in the middle and lower third of the face. This evaluation will help our cosmetic surgeons develop an individual plan for the appropriate amount of Radiesse to use during treatment. Our goal is to soften the folds, not obliterate them. Many other offices, med-spas or clinics may have a non-physician provider administer these types of injections. At Prima Center for Plastic Surgery, our cosmetic surgeons perform all injectable treatments themselves. This is to ensure safety and the best possible outcome for each patient. Radiesse typically lasts about 9-12 months. Many patients love their results so much that they return and are put on a rotation schedule.
Prima Center Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Philip Nakano has a genuine personality! Excellent bedside manners and cares a great deal about his patients. His facial procedures are beautiful! I trust him.
The office staff, nurses, and Dr.Song do an amazing job! I’m four weeks post-op from a breast reduction and lift, and I’m healing nicely! Very thrilled with the results and the care I have received. If you’re debating on whether you should do a breast reduction, my advice is don’t wait any longer. The Prima center is amazing. Recovery isn’t easy, but manageable & your life will be changed for the better! Take the risk! It’s so worth it!! (:
I had an explant done March 2026 due to complications with implants and I absolutely love my natural breast! Dr. Song was hands on about my needs and wants and I look better now than I did with implants! I highly recommend Dr.Song for this procedure and any other needs pertaining to breasts!!
Gary is the absolute BEST! I have been his patient for years now and I love love love the results I get from him every time. He gives the most natural look ever (which is what I want). He never oversells me on anything; he just shoots me straight. On top of that, he always checks in on me after anything he does. And I can text him any time with a question - he always gets right back to me. He started out being my go to for all things aesthetic, but has since become a friend. I rarely fill out these reviews but Gary is really exceptional!
Gary is amazing. He's very professional and knowledgeable and I feel fully confident in his abilities to help me achieve my goals while giving me options to help me stay within my budget.He's very patient and allows me to ask all my questions and he gives me the needed information to help me feel comfortable.I highly recommend his services.
