Dermal Fillers

In the past few years, new generation of cosmetic treatments called dermal fillers have been introduced to effectively restore volume in the face and beautify the face.

Different grades of dermal fillers are used for different indications on the face.

Dermal fillers are most commonly used to;

1. Rejuvenate thinning ageing lips which have lost volume and shape
2. Plump up younger lips, giving them a sexier and more defined outline and shape - without the dreaded “trout pout” look.
3. Correct the downturn corner of the lips (marionette fold) which can give the face a sad and angry appearance
4. Smooth and revolumise the dreaded lines around the lips (so called smoker’s lines or bar code lines) which can cause lipstick to bleed
5. Erase cheek folds (nasolabial folds) which gives a sad and tired appearance
6. Add volume to the deflated, gaunt-like face - a condition called facial lipoatrophy

Procedure time:       20 to 30 minutes.

What to expect:      Slight swelling and potential bruising

Downtime:                Return to work the next day.

Duration:                   Depends on the type of product and the site of injection: 6 to 12 months

Patients should avoid aspirin or medication containing aspirin (eg Nurofen, Indocic etc) for at least 10 days before procedure to reduce the risks of bruising.
