What filler would be best for nasolabial lines?

March 25th, 2013
Q.
Hi dr,
I would like some advice on which filler would be best for nasolabial lines. I am 19 years old and don’t have wrinkles but recently the expression lines going down from my nose to mouth have become deeper, and it has given my face a more gauntish, harder look, and I have very faint marionette lines because of this too. Where as before my face looked alot fuller. I think this is from poor diet, smoking and drinking too much coca cola.The expression lines don’t look even either, and the one on the left side of my face goes straight down, whilst on the right side it is curved and slightly softer around the mouth. I am choosing between restylane and juvederm. I like juvederm because I read it gives a more softer look than restylane, which is what I would like, but am worried because I heard juvederm tends to spread out more and go into other areas. I don’t want it to spread to the cheek area as I already have very full cheeks and it will look weird. I want it specifically for the nasolabial folds, too soften them. I want a filler that will look natural and subtle and just make my face look the same as it used to and not really different.

Hi There,

Both Restylane and Juvederm are excellent fillers and wold do a great job. I don’t think that Juvederm will spread any more than Restylane.
It’s probably more important to choose your practitioner carefully.

Would dermal fillers work on my acne scars?

December 11th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Forrester,
I had quite bad acne as a teenager and also as an adult which has left me with with some pitted scars on my face. They are mainly on my cheeks and they are quite noticeable, make-up or not. Do you think that fillers would work to plump out the scars at all?They are not very big, but there are quite a lot of them. Also, if fillers can work would you suggest I have any specific ones in particular?
Thank you for reading my problem and I look forward to receiving any advice you can offer me, Thanks.

A.
Dear Kim,

Fillers can help with plumping pitted acne scarring but often need to be combined with some form of other procedure such as dermaroller or INTRAcel. A hyaluronic acid filler wold be the best choice – something like Restylane or Juvederm.

How can I achieve fuller lips with out getting a ‘trout pout’?

November 30th, 2012
Q.
Hello Dr Peter,
I would like to have fuller lips but I am worried about getting a so-called ‘trout pout’ like many celebrities seem to fashion these days. Id there any kind of filler that I should stay clear of or any that you would recommend for the lips?I don’t want a huge change just more volume so my lipstick looks better and my face is more proportional. Also, I am worried about how to find a good clinic to get the procedure done , any tips for this? Thanks for your help and I look forward to reading your view.
A.
Hello,

I would very definitely go for a mainstream HA filler for the lips. Probably Restylane Lip Volume or Juvederm. A skilled and sensitive practitioner will never over-fill the lips. Lips should never look ‘treated’. However, remember that lips are an area of the face that will always swell and bruise for a day or two, so be prepared for some downtime.

If you don’t have a personal recommendation then you could start with the Restylane practitioner finder at http://www.restylane.co.uk/Practitioner-Finder/

How can I increase the volume in my lips?

November 13th, 2012
Q.
Hello I’m interested in increasing the volume of my lips, they are very thin, not what a women wants at all! I’ve done some research and I’ve heard mixed reviews about Juvederm? I didn’t know if researching it on the internet was a reliable source? I was hoping to get your opinion on which product is best to use for lip enhancement? What is the price of a syringe at your clinic? Thanks a lot for your time its appreciated! Regards.
A.
The problem is that when things don’t go as expected people are very motivated to share their experiences on the internet. However, when things go well they tend not to bother posting on the web which gives a bit of a skewed view of things.
For reasons of personal preference I use Restylane but Juvederm is an excellent HA filler and suitable for use in the lips. Personally I would always go for either Juvederm or Restylane.

In our clinic a 1.0ml syringe of Restylane is £325.
When comparing prices remember that when clinics quote prices per ‘syringe’ you need to be aware of the fact that a syringe can be either 0.5 or 1.0ml therefore you need to look at volume as well.
Also, don’t forget that when choosing a treatment it is not just about shopping around for the lowest price. Having facial injectables such as Botox or Restylane is not like buying the cheapest product from the supermarket – this is your face we’re talking about here. As well as the cost of the actual product you are also paying for the time, advice, expertise and follow-up from a qualified professional.

There are a number of fillers including belatero, however we tend to use the allergan products such as juvederm.

It would be best for you to be seen in person in the clinic to assess the best way forward.

We generally find this approach works very well and we would be delighted to see you in person to discuss the best way forward for you.

I have quite a few allergies, what dermal filler is appropriate for myself? Are there tests to check?

August 10th, 2012
Q.
Hi Adrian. I’m really considering some kind of dermal filler, but i have quite a few allergies (Some soaps, deodorants etc) i was wondering before you undertake having dermal fillers, do you have some tests to check if you are allergic to the filler? I wasn’t sure how the tests would be done if so? Would you be able to inform me of any fillers to watch out for that use very natural ingredients for example? Any information would be fantastic – Thanks Adrian!
A.
Hi

Thank you for your enquiry.

We would generally recommend Juvederm as a dermal filler. This s made from natural body substances and is very unlikely to cause any long term problems as it is very inert.

We have certainly not noticed any problems from this following treatment.

Juvederm is available in most clinics and we do wish the best of luck if you decide to go ahead with treatment.

I want fuller looking cheeks, what would be the best treatment for myself?

July 27th, 2012
Q.
Hiya Adrian, If I wanted fuller looking cheeks what would be the best treatment for myself? I have quite a skinny face and I wouldn’t want it too look obvious I’ve had dermal fillers, I just think I’d look better with a bit bigger cheeks. I’ve never had anything like this before and just wanted to know about the different options available for myself? There are so many different brands i wouldn’t know where to start, any feedback would be great thanks!
A.
Hi

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

It is possible to increase the volume of your cheeks naturally with a moderate amount of dermal fillers. This is done by our experienced practioners who will give you a very natural, fuller appearance in your cheeks.

You are right there are a number of different brands and we normally recommened Juvederm which is an Allergan product and gives a very good soft natural appearance.

If you feel you would like to schedule an appointment with one of our specialist practitioners please do so by ringing our office on 01844 214362.

Are dermal fillers safe if you are trying to conceive?

June 1st, 2012
Q.
Hi Adrian,
Me and my husband are trying for a baby, i’ve had juvederm on previous occassions and its been great! I was just wanting to know if there are any risks involved in having fillers while pregnant or does it have any effect on concieving? I just want to stand the best chance of getting pregnant but I also want to look nice and healthy at the same time! So is there any restrictions that you are aware of?
A.
Thank you very much for your enquiry, generally we don’t recommend having fillers while you are pregnant although this has not been shown to have any risk to your baby or any effect on getting pregnant, it is generally not considered safe practice to have filler treatments at this stage.

We would however be delighted to see you again in clinic to discuss the best way forward for you when you have had your baby.

Many thanks for your enquiry we do look forward to meeting you in the near future.

Best wishes

Yours sincerely

Can I have dermal fillers after recovering from cancer or are there restrictions?

May 14th, 2012
Q.
Hey there Adrian, I’ve been quite ill over the last few years with Cancer, which has taken its toll on my skin, i have a lot of wrinkles! I have fully recovered now and am wanting to look great again! Is there any restrictions for people that have had cancer? Will it put me at more risk? I’d really like to have some treatments maybe juviderm, but not at the risk of my health. What would you advise? Look forward to hearing from you!
A.
Hi

Thank you very much for your enquiry.

No there are no more restrictioen for people who have cancer with Dermal Fillers and they are often used in people who have been unlikely enough to get this condition as they tend to lose volume for their face.

I think it would be best for you to book a consultation with a pratcitioner to dscuss the best way forward for you. We would be happyu to see you here at Aurora Clinics and if you would like to book a consultation please do not heistate to contact us on 01844 214362.

I really want my lips plumping up. What is a good reliable product?

May 14th, 2012
Q.
Been thinking about getting my lips plumped up with some extra volumes and just wanted to know what would be the best product to use. It seems that there are too many choices and you never know which ones are legit and which ones might be some cheap alternative. I really dont want to have a reaction or something by using some cheap product and would rather choose one that is best known for its safety and with possibility of least complication. Thanks for your advice and look forward to you answer.
A.
Thank you very much for your enquiry.

Genreally we would recommend the Allergan products which include the Juvederm range for lip enhancement procedures.

These products have got a very good safety rdcored and we find they produce a very natural appearance and are safe in the long term.

I think it would certainly be worthwhile  discussing this with a practitioner and one of our nurses would be happy to discuss this with you if you would like to discuss this isn more detail

If you would a consultation please call us on 01844 214362 or email us at info@aurora-clinics,co.uk
