Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable materials used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Commonly composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, or permanent implants, fillers provide immediate results with minimal downtime. Treatments are tailored to individual anatomy and aesthetic goals; effects typically last from 6 months to 2 years depending on product and placement.
Common Treatment Areas
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Marionette lines and oral commissures
Lips (volume, border definition)
Cheeks and midface (volume restoration, lift)
Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
Jawline and chin (contour and projection)
Temples (volume replacement)
Risks and Potential Complications
Common, expected: temporary swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, and lumpiness at injection sites
Less common: prolonged swelling, infection, delayed-onset nodules or granulomas, hypersensitivity or allergic reactions
Serious but rare: vascular occlusion leading to skin necrosis or vision impairment (immediate attention required if severe pain, blanching, or visual changes occur)
Other risks: asymmetry, migration of product, need for further correction or dissolution (for HA fillers an enzyme can reverse effects)
Contraindications and Precautions
Active skin infection at treatment site, known allergy to product components, pregnancy or breastfeeding (typically deferred)
Caution with bleeding disorders or anticoagulant use, autoimmune conditions, or recent facial surgery
Full disclosure of medical history, medications, prior fillers, and aesthetic goals is required to minimize risk
Aftercare and Follow-up
Expect mild swelling/bruising that resolves in days to weeks
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24–48 hours
Follow scheduled follow-up for assessment and touch-up if needed
Seek immediate care for severe pain, skin color change, or visual disturbances
Consultation with a qualified, experienced injector is essential to determine appropriate products and techniques and to mitigate risks.
