Why Choose Dr. Kaniff for Your Dermal Fillers?

When it comes to your face, experience matters. Dr. Kaniff brings over 20 years of surgical expertise to every injectable session.
  • Advanced Micro-Cannula Technique: Dr. Kaniff utilizes blunt-tipped cannulas in many treatment areas. Unlike sharp needles, these slide past blood vessels and nerves, significantly decreasing bruising and increasing comfort.
  • Dr. Kaniff offers a full spectrum of care—from non-invasive treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic/Dysport and dermal fillers, to comprehensive surgical rejuvenation. He provides an honest assessment to ensure the treatment chosen truly meets your needs.
  • Painless Lip Enhancement: Dr. Kaniff has developed a proprietary numbing technique for lip fillers that makes the injection of this sensitive area essentially painless.
  • Anatomy & Artistry: With a deep surgical understanding of facial layers, Dr. Kaniff avoids the “puffy” look by placing product precisely where structure—not just volume—is required.

When Fillers Aren’t Enough: The Transition to Surgery

There comes a point where fillers reach a limit of diminishing returns. If you have significant skin laxity, adding more filler can make the face look “heavy” rather than youthful.

The “Filler Fatigue” Decision Quiz

  1. Do you feel you need more syringes than you used to for the same result?
  2. Do you see sagging skin along the jawline (jowls) that filler can’t hide?
  3. Does your face feel “wider” or “heavier” after your filler appointments?
  4. Are you looking for a result that lasts 10+ years instead of 10 months?
If you answered “Yes” to two or more, it may be time to discuss a Mini-Lift or Facelift with Dr. Kaniff to reposition the underlying muscles rather than just masking volume loss.
