How safe are dermal fillers?

June 17th, 2013
Q.
Are dermal fillers actually safe and do they work.

Can they be used under the eye and forehead? Does it involve complications, i.e. side effects or any unwanted results.

How long does it last and are the results drastic? Do they involve blood being re-injected into the face and are the results instant. How much does it generally cost? Also how much is rhino plastic surgery – straightening the nose.

Hi
Dermal fillers are safe and work! – they are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid binds water to keep skin looking healthy, hydrated and firm – you can see the results immediately following placement. They do not involve blood being re-injected.
It is a medical procedure, so there are some possible risks, but if performed by a qualified doctor these are minimalised. Using different products they can be used under the eye and forehead.
Costs usually starts from £250 upwards depending on the amount required and area it is placed and last usually 4-6 months.
Dermal fillers can be used to change the appearance of the nose.
Good luck

How can I sort out the problems with my fillers?

January 23rd, 2013
Q.
I had fillers (I think restalyne or a generic version thereof actually) injected under my eyes to reduce the bags of wrinkles I have there. This was done on the 14th of December 2012. Since having the fillers done, I look absolutely worse every day.I have swelling and a bad ‘shift’ of the wrinkles under my eyes which is the area where the filler was injected.My wrinkles were previously partially hidden under my glasses, but now this area seems to have ‘dropped’ to below the frames of my glasses. I look and feel horrible. I, and those who know me, say I look worse for having done fillers, even though I obviosly had it done to look somewhat ‘fresher’.Is there a remedy for the swelling and ‘drop’ of myn wrinkles? Have you heard of this happening before? I am desperate as the fillers were done a month ago and my eyes look worse every day with swelling.I am worried sick.

Fillers in the under-eye and Tear Trough area can be problematic and can take weeks to properly settle down.
It is difficult to give a useful opinion via email. However, one of the advantages of HA fillers is that they can be reduced by injecting the enzyme hyalase. You need to see an experienced Cosmetic Doctor to discuss the options for resolving this issue.
Sorry I can’t be of more help. I would be happy to see you if you were local to Surrey.
