Filler injections are used for volume augmentation and recontouring for facial rejuvenation. The most commonly used fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in the human body.
Volume loss and deflation are some of the most prominent changes of the ageing face and volume replacement with fillers can help to reverse this change. Filler injections can also be to reshape certain areas of the face using techniques such as jawline augmentation, lip filler and liquid rhinoplasty. These injections also help with static wrinkles and folds.
Filler treatments are an outpatient procedure that take anywhere between 20-30 minutes to perform. The area to be injected is numbed using a numbing cream 20-30 minutes prior to the procedure and then the injections are performed using an ultra-fine needle. The procedure involves injecting small amounts of filler under the skin. There is no downtime and no restriction of activity advised. Occasionally, there might be some bruising after the procedure which usually resolves spontaneously in 4-5 days. The results are seen immediately after injecting and can last from anywhere between 9 months to 2 years, depending on the area of the face injected. Most patients prefer to repeat treatments annually.
Filler injections are safe, predictable and well-researched tools to rejuvenate your face and are best performed in the hands of a facial expert.
