Facial remodelling using fillers
Fillers can also be used for a “liquid lift” to restore facial volume loss, contour the face for perfect proportions, fill the chin or cheekbones, or accentuate the jawline.
With age, the face loses volume and the skin sags. Restoring the volume in various places lifts and tightens the sagging skin.
Hyaluronic acid is a crystal-clear gel which is injected under the skin and has the ability to hold water, hydrating and giving volume to the skin.
Which areas can be filled?
Some people naturally have a receding chin or weak jawline, or a facial shape that would benefit from more angles or definition. Amazing results can be given to perfect facial proportions.
With age there is volume loss in the face and resultant sagging of the skin and a drawn appearance.
Fillers can be injected to restore the volume and the skin is thus lifted, creating a rejuvenated, younger look.
Areas:
- Cheek bones enhanced
- Chin lengthened or shape altered
- Jawline accentuated or angled to create more definition between the face and neck.
- A “Liquid Lift” can be done for better facial contours and for reversing aging.
Results are seen instantly, but the full effect can take up to one month to show.
The gel fillers last for approximately 12-18 months. Patients can return to work immediately, although redness, slight swelling and numbness may be present.
Many people find that they need no anaesthetic for most areas. A local anaesthetic can be used, depending on the area.
Can I return to work?
The beauty of this procedure is that most patients can return to work immediately after the treatment. Slight bruising may occur, but this should disappear after a few days. A little redness may also occur but can easily be covered with make-up.
