Dermal Fillers

About Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume to the face, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. As a plastic surgeon, I bring an understanding of facial anatomy that helps achieve natural-looking, balanced results.

Treatment Areas

• Cheeks: Restore youthful volume and definition
• Temples: Address hollowing that occurs with age
• Under-eyes: Reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollows
• Nasolabial folds: Soften lines from nose to mouth
• Lips: Enhance shape and volume naturally
• Jawline: Define and contour
• Chin: Improve projection and balance

The Procedure

After a thorough assessment, I'll discuss which areas would benefit from treatment and create a personalised plan. The filler is injected using fine needles or cannulas, with topical anaesthetic to ensure comfort. Results are visible immediately.

Products Used

I use premium hyaluronic acid fillers from established manufacturers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, making it safe and well-tolerated. It can also be dissolved if needed.

Recovery

There's minimal downtime. You may experience slight swelling or bruising for a few days, but most patients return to normal activities immediately. I recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.

Results

Results are visible immediately, though they continue to improve over 2 weeks as any swelling settles. Depending on the product and treatment area, results typically last 9-18 months.

Risks

• Bruising and swelling (common, temporary)
• Asymmetry (can be corrected)
• Lumps (rare, usually resolve)
• Vascular complications (rare but serious - this is why expertise matters)
