Vitality Unfiltered Podcast

Host: David J. Bauder, PA-C
Co-Host: Stephanie Lattimore
Guest: Alicia Sanderson, MD

In this episode of Vitality Unfiltered, we explore the fundamentals of dermal fillers and how they are used to enhance facial structure, restore volume, and improve overall facial balance.

Dermal fillers—most commonly composed of hyaluronic acid—have become a cornerstone of modern aesthetic medicine. However, achieving natural results requires far more than simply adding volume. The depth of placement, anatomical precision, and treatment goals all play a critical role in determining outcomes.

David J. Bauder, PA-C, founder of Weight Loss & Vitality, along with co-host Stephanie Lattimore and guest Dr. Alicia Sanderson, facial plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist, break down how fillers are used differently across the lips, cheeks, and jawline—and why each area requires a distinct approach.

A central concept discussed in this episode is that filler should support facial structure rather than create excess volume. When used appropriately, dermal fillers can restore youthful proportions and enhance natural features. When used incorrectly, they can disrupt facial harmony.

In This Episode We Discuss

• What dermal fillers are and how they function within facial tissues
• The difference between structural and superficial filler placement
• How lip, cheek, and jawline fillers serve different aesthetic goals
• Why facial anatomy is more important than volume alone
• The role of fillers in restoring facial balance and proportion
• Common mistakes that can lead to overfilling or unnatural results
• How injector technique influences outcomes
• Why individualized treatment planning is essential
• The importance of subtle, strategic placement
• How to achieve natural, long-term aesthetic results

Key Takeaway

Dermal fillers are most effective when used to support facial structure and restore balance—not simply to add volume. Precision, anatomical understanding, and a conservative approach are essential for achieving natural-looking results.
