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.
I'm always very happy with Prima and now that Gary is there, I'm even happier!!
I have been a client of Prima since it opened. I have also moved in and out of Atlanta and experienced other doctors in multiple states. Lindsey who answered my call for an appointment provided a possible explanation for an issue I had had at another facility in another state. Her shared experience was extremely helpful. Since my last visit Gary was hired who specifically handles fillers. He spent considerable time discussing what my objectives were. I can honestly say Gary accomplished and exceeded my expectations providing phenomenal results! The technique he uses eliminates multiple needle sticks. I am all for that. Exceptional facility and excellent staff!!
I went to PRIMA for the first time a couple of days ago, having followed Gary Washington from another clinic. The receptionist was friendly, and as usual, Gary was skilled and efficient. I'm very pleased with my results.
Dr. Mike Song performed my breast reduction, breast lift, and side breast liposuction on June 1, 2026, and I could not be happier with my results. His exceptional skill, meticulous attention to detail, and unwavering dedication have truly changed my life.The confidence, comfort, and improved quality of life I now experience are beyond measure. From my very first consultation through my recovery, Dr. Song took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed, comfortable, and confident in my decision.I have undergone at least ten surgeries throughout my life, and this was, without question, the smoothest and easiest recovery I have ever experienced. That speaks volumes about Dr. Song’s expertise and surgical technique.I also want to recognize his wonderful assistant, Sarah, who was kind, knowledgeable, responsive, and supportive every step of the way. Together, they made an outstanding team and provided exceptional patient care.If you’re considering cosmetic or reconstructive surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Mike Song of Prima Plastic Surgery Center. His professionalism, bedside manner, and commitment to achieving outstanding results exceeded every expectation. Thank you, Dr. Song, for giving me not only incredible results but also renewed confidence and a better quality of life.
