I want my nose reshaped by dermal fillers

November 22nd, 2013
Q.
Hi there,

I intend to have a non-surgical rhinoplasty to reshape my nose using dermal fillers. Which type of fillers have the most long-lasting effect? Is Aquamid better than all others? I want to know about the most perfect way to have a minimal nose reshaping. I also wonder if you could let me know that excessive sport activity might make any deformation or cause less lasting effects.

Thanks for helping me with this and I very keenly await your reply, many thanks.

Hi
I would not recommend using Aquamid as if it doesn’t go well, you are is serious difficulty as you cant remove it. I would always use a hyalaruronic acid based filler for safety, it doesnt matter so much which one. I like to use Juvederm. Its hard to get a good result with a non surgical rhinoplasty if there is a big defect, you might be best to actually have a rhinoplasty. Fillers in the nose are just for minor tweaking. Filler doesnt move once its injected.
Good luck

November 15th, 2013
Q.
Hi Dr,
I have lines above my eyebrows and around my eyes and would like to get some treatment to get rid of themWould dermal fillers work and if so what kind of fillers would be best for me? Also I would like to know if there are any creams or serums that would improve the look of my lines? live in Surrey, would it be possible to get treatment from yourself?I would like work done preferably before Christmas as I start a new job abroad in the New Year and want to look and feel my best!! Thank you.

Hello and Thank you for your enquiry. Yes dermal fillers will work, though I usually recommend Botox as a first choice of treatment for the areas that concern you. If we use fillers, I generally use Juvederm or Restylane products. There are various creams and serums but injectables will give you enhanced results. I would be happy to see and treat you and can arrange this before Christmas. My contact details are 020 7636 5981 and Jessica or Iwona will be able to schedule you an appointment.
Kind regards
Adam

How can I treat the lines above my lip?

October 3rd, 2013
Q.
I have lines above my top lip. How much approx would it cost to have these treated and how long would the effects last? Also I have nasolabial lines. Are dermal fillers the answer & are they painful at all? Around the eye area for fine lines what would the recommended treatment be? Are dermal fillers preferable to having Botox? Going back to the lines above my upper lip, would treatment cause my lip to ‘plump up’, as I do not want this
A.
Hi
It depends on the cause of the lines and whether you feel any volume or definition of the lip is needed. You can use dermal fillers or Botox for these. Naso-labial lines need volume so either we use dermal fillers here or in the cheeks above to ‘raise’ the area and reduce these lines. For fine lines around the eyes we usually suggest Botox for these.
Most dermal fillers now have some local anaesthetic in them and aren’t painful to be placed.
Prices depend on the product to be used, correction required and experience of the clinician, but can start from £150/£200 upwards. I would recommend a consultation to discuss your options
Good luck

I am a male looking to have dermal filler treatment. Do many men have this treatment? Any advice?

August 6th, 2012
Q.
I’m just enquiring about myself actually, i was a bit embarrassed to go into a clinic . It’s not the most manly thing to have done is it? I just really wanted to know more about it, because a man’s skin is obviously a bit thicker and i have stubble as well, so i didn’t know if it would have any affect. I particularly wanted some kind of dermal filler on my forehead and around my eyes? What type of filler do you usually use for that? Is it quite rare to have a male patient wanting dermal fillers? Thanks Adrian mate!

Hi

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

Generally with men we recommend botox therapy for around the forehead and eyes as this gives a more natural appearance.

The reason for this is the lines in the frown and crows feet area are caused by muscle contraction and the ideal way of treating them is by relaxing the muscle.

Botulinum Toxin is the ideal way to treat this area naturally as dermal fillers in this area can look slightly unnatural.

If you feel you would like to schedule a consultation most doctors are very understanding and it is a very common procedure performed on men.

Good luck if you decided to go ahead with treatment.

Best Wishes

I had fillers and then botox, shouldn’t the procedure be the other way around?

June 12th, 2012
Q.
Hi there, I have recently had teosyal dermal filler between my eyebrows. As I had two lines I I directly between my eyes, I was initially going for Botox but after a consultation with my nurse she recommended filler a tue lines were quite deep. I had this done 3days ago and she is coming back in two weeks to top up, she only put a small amount to see how it takes then will add some more, she also said she would put some Botox there too. I have just read that it should be done the other way round. What should my next step be, just take some Botox and leave the additional top up of filler and just see how it looks??
A.
Thank you very much for your question. You are right that we do normally recommend having Botox injections before fillers.

The reason is that the Botox weakens the line and therefore it becomes less deep. You therefore need less filler following the Botox.

It may be that your practitioner prefers a different method and I am sure that Botox works well.
I think it would be worthwhile discussing this fully with your practitioner and I wish you the best of luck.

Best wishes
