Injectible Fillers & Injections

Injectable fillers are used to add volume to lines in the face or to the lips. These hypoallergenic fillers are non-permanent and the results typically last from 4-10 months depending upon the each patient’s lifestyle and amount of facial animation.

Areas typically treated with injectable fillers such as lip injections are the naso-labial lines that surround the nose and mouth, the lips to add shape and volume and the cheek bone area to add definition and a more youthful appearance to the face.

Our cosmetic surgery clinic in Sydney tries to avoid permanent fillers as a small percentage of patients develop a reaction which is called a granuloma and this lumpiness is very difficult to treat. Another reason permanent fillers are not advised is because as the face ages, the filler will remain static and not be in harmony with the aging face.
