When most people think of dermal fillers, they think of lips. And while the RHA® Collection by Revance is exceptional for creating soft, natural-looking lips, its real power lies in the versatility — rejuvenating and refining areas of the face that are often overlooked.
As a facial plastic surgeon in Austin, I’ve found that patients are thrilled when they learn how RHA fillers can subtly restore youth and structure in ways they didn’t realize were possible — without looking overdone.
What Makes the RHA® Collection Different?
The RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) Collection is designed to adapt to the dynamic movements of the face. Unlike traditional fillers, RHA blends seamlessly into facial expressions — whether you're smiling, frowning, or talking — making it ideal for delicate, expressive areas.
RHA fillers are Swiss-engineered to be more like the natural hyaluronic acid in your skin, and they’re FDA-approved for dynamic wrinkles and folds, making them a favorite among both patients and injectors seeking refined, natural results.
5 Unexpected Areas Where RHA Fillers Shine
- Under-Eye Hollows (Tear Troughs)
Dark circles and under-eye shadows can make you look tired even when you’re well-rested. RHA fillers can be expertly placed to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, restoring a refreshed, rested appearance. - Cheek Contour & Midface Volume
Subtle volume loss in the midface can lead to a cascade of aging — from flattened cheeks to deepening nasolabial folds. RHA 3 or RHA 4 can be used to lift and contour the cheekbones, enhancing structure without bulk or heaviness. - Chin & Jawline Definition
Whether it’s to refine a weak chin or sharpen a soft jawline, RHA 4 is a fantastic option. It’s robust enough to sculpt and shape, yet still maintains a natural feel and movement, perfect for patients looking for a more defined lower face. - Smile Lines & Marionette Lines
Dynamic wrinkles around the mouth deepen with time. Unlike stiffer fillers that can look unnatural when the face moves, RHA works with your expressions — smoothing laugh lines while preserving your personality. - Neck Lines (Tech Neck)
Horizontal neck lines from looking down at screens are becoming increasingly common — even in younger patients. RHA 1 or 2 can gently fill these fine lines without stiffness, offering a subtle but impactful improvement.
Why Choose a Facial Plastic Surgeon for Your Fillers?
While many providers offer injectables, facial plastic surgery practices bring an advanced understanding of facial anatomy and aging. This means safer, more precise placement — and results that complement your natural features.
In my Austin-based practice, every filler treatment is tailored to the patient’s unique structure and goals. My approach is conservative, artistic, and rooted in surgical-level expertise.

If you’re looking for natural, elegant enhancement that moves with your face, the RHA Collection might be your perfect match. Whether you’re new to injectables or seeking subtle refinement beyond the lips, I’d love to help you explore what’s possible.
