What It Does

Dermal fillers restore lost volume and enhance facial contours using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. They smooth lines, plump lips, enhance cheekbones, and define the jawline. The treatment works immediately by adding volume beneath the skin and stimulating natural collagen production.

Key Benefits

Immediate visible results. No downtime. You can return to normal activities the same day. Natural appearance when properly placed. Fully reversible. Effects gradually fade. Can be layered for custom results. Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin quality improvement.

Who It's Suitable For

Anyone experiencing volume loss, hollow cheeks, or fine lines. Perfect for lip enhancement and definition. Ideal for smoothing nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Those wanting to restore youthful fullness. Suitable for most skin types and ages.

Preparation & Aftercare

Avoid blood thinners and NSAIDs for 24–48 hours before treatment. Skip alcohol the night before. After treatment: minimise movement of treated area for 24 hours, apply ice if needed for swelling, avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours, skip facials and massage for a week. Mild swelling and bruising typically resolve in 3–7 days.

Expected Results

Results visible immediately and improving over 2 weeks as swelling subsides. Full integration at 4–6 weeks. Results typically last 6–18 months depending on product and area treated. Some patients notice improved skin quality between sessions.

Your Questions Answered

Common Questions About Dermal Fillers

Are dermal fillers reversible?

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved quickly and safely using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Dr. Patel always has this available and will discuss it as part of your pre-treatment consultation. Your safety and satisfaction are the priority.

How long do lip fillers last?

Lip fillers typically last 6–12 months, depending on the amount used and your individual metabolism. Dr. Patel always starts conservatively, particularly for first-time patients, to ensure natural-looking results you'll love.

Will lip filler look natural?

Dr. Patel's approach is always to enhance your natural shape rather than dramatically change it. The aim is fuller, more defined lips that look entirely like your own, only better. She will discuss your goals in detail during your consultation.

Is there much swelling after lip filler?

Some swelling is normal in the first 24–48 hours and is part of the healing process. Most swelling resolves within 3–5 days. Applying a cold compress gently to the area can help, and any residual bruising is easily covered with makeup.

Can I combine fillers with anti-wrinkle injections?

Absolutely. Combining dermal fillers with anti-wrinkle injections is one of the most effective ways to achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Dr. Patel often recommends a combination approach and will tailor a plan to your specific goals during consultation.
