Dermal Fillers and Facial Contouring

Overview

Understanding Dermal Fillers and Facial Contouring

Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to add or restore volume in specific facial areas. The appropriate product, injection site and amount depend on your anatomy, medical history and treatment goals. Fillers do not treat every cause of a line, shadow or change in facial shape, and results vary. We will discuss alternatives and explain the potential for swelling, bruising, asymmetry and rare but serious vascular complications.

Assessment first

We review your concerns and relevant history before recommending treatment.

Individual planning

Options are selected according to suitability, priorities and the proposed procedure.

Clear information

Expected benefits, limitations, alternatives and relevant risks are discussed before consent.

Aftercare and support

Written aftercare and an appropriate route for questions or concerns are provided.

Our approach

We assess the face at rest and in movement, review previous aesthetic treatment and agree a plan with you before proceeding. A conservative approach may involve treating one area, staging treatment or recommending a different option.

Aftercare

Written aftercare and a plan for review will be provided. Swelling and bruising can affect the early appearance; the timing of any further treatment is agreed after reassessment. If you develop severe pain, blanching, mottled skin or visual symptoms after filler, contact the treating clinic immediately and seek urgent medical help.

FAQs

Dermal Fillers and Facial Contouring — questions we are asked most

How long does filler last?

Duration varies by product, area and person, and cannot be guaranteed.

Can filler be dissolved?

Hyaluronidase may be used for hyaluronic acid filler when clinically appropriate; it does not dissolve all filler types and may not produce an exact or immediate reversal.

Is there downtime?

Redness, swelling and bruising are common; recovery varies by area and individual.
