Enhance Your Natural Beauty
Lip Augmentation Fillers:
Lip augmentation aims to plump and enhance the volume of the lips, creating a look that feels soft, natural, and smooth. Both surgical and non-surgical techniques are available, with
non-surgical options including:
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Utilizing a naturally occurring substance found in the body, these fillers shape and add volume to the lips. Results typically last for six months or
more, with the procedure taking about 15 to 20 minutes. The inclusion of lidocaine ensures patient comfort during the process. - Fat Injections: Some individuals opt for lip augmentation using fat injections, where fat harvested through liposuction is injected into the lips for a fuller appearance. Results are long-lasting.
- Collagen Injections: Collagen injections can also yield effective results; however, individuals allergic to collagen products should avoid this procedure. Results typically last for one to two months.
Non-surgical Rhinoplasty
Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves the use of injectable fillers to reshape the nose in an office-based procedure. Fillers can address various nasal concerns, including:
- Nasal Bump: Fillers can be strategically placed above or below a nasal hump to conceal it effectively.
- Improved Bridge Definition: Injectable fillers can raise and define wider or flatter nasal bridges, such as those found in African-American and Asian noses.
- Crooked Nose: Filling depressions on the nose can significantly straighten a crooked nose caused by various factors.
- Correcting Asymmetries: Non-surgical rhinoplasty is effective in treating asymmetric noses, whether inherited or resulting from previous surgeries.
- Improving Tip Definition: Fillers can be added to the nasal tip to enhance its shape and projection
Cheekbone Fillers
Under Eye Fillers
Under-eye concerns, including grooves/sunken eyes and bags/saggy skin, can be addressed
with various techniques:
- Eye Grooves or Sunken Eyes: Treatments involve filling delicate areas under the eyes with hyaluronic acid fillers.
- Under-eye Bags or Saggy Skin: Lower eye lift or blepharoplasty surgery can remove loose skin under the eyes, with fat repositioning to achieve a smoother appearance.
Treatment Options:
- Filler Fix: Hyaluronic acid fillers effectively fill delicate areas under the eyes when injected deep into the tissue.
- Permanent Fix: Under-eye grooves can be permanently addressed with fat injections,utilizing the body’s own fat harvested through liposuction.
Common Questions
1. How long do dermal fillers last?
The duration of dermal fillers depends on the type used. Generally, results can last from 6 months to 2 years. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last around 6-12 months, while fillers like Sculptra or Radiesse, which stimulate collagen production, can last up to 2 years.
2. Are dermal fillers safe?
Yes, dermal fillers are safe when administered by a qualified professional. Complications are rare and usually minor, such as swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. Choosing an experienced practitioner is essential to ensure the best and safest results.
3. Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience only minor discomfort during dermal filler procedures. Practitioners often use topical anaesthetics or numbing agents to minimise pain. The sensation is typically described as a slight pinch or pressure, and any discomfort usually subsides quickly
4. Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed if needed. An enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve the filler quickly and safely, providing a safety net for patients who may want adjustments or complete removal if the desired results are not achieved
5. What should I avoid after the treatment?
After receiving dermal fillers, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol for at least 24-48 hours. These activities can increase swelling and bruising. Following your practitioner’s aftercare instructions is essential for optimal results and healing.
6. How soon will I see results?
Results from dermal fillers are visible immediately after the injection. Initial swelling may occur, but as it subsides, the optimal results become apparent. Typically, the full effect is visible within a few days to a week after treatment.
