FACIAL FILLERS
Midface Lift
A Mid Face Lift is where we inject filler to create a lift and restore volume loss. This treatment will add a scaffolding effect to the face and indirectly treats and softens the nasolabial fold, jowls and redefines the jaw area. We can discuss this in more detail at your consultation. Typically lasts 12-24 months.
A review is recommended at 12 months
Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds are the lines that appear from the bottom of your nose to your mouth. Our preferred method of treatment is to first treat the midface area (please see Mid Face Lift) to act as a scaffolding effect, creating a natural looking lift, helping to smooth the appearance of nasolabial folds. We can treat the lines directly although this is not suitable for some patients, this can be discussed in more detail at your consultation. Typically lasts 6 - 12 months

Filler can be placed on the jaw line to create a defined jaw, lifting and smoothing sagging/loose tissue, smoothing lines and wrinkles. Filler can be placed in the chin to elongate the face, creating a slimmer appearance or to balance the profile adding shape and definition. Typically lasts 12 – 18 months

How to Prepare
Please avoid alcohol for 48 hours prior to treatment. (alcohol thins the blood which would increase the risk of bleeding and bruising).
​
Please do not take Aspirin or Ibuprofen for 24 hours prior to your appointment, unless prescribed by your doctor. Please discuss with your Nurse in more detail (these are blood thinners and would increase the risk of bleeding and bruising)
​
We will apply topical local anaesthetic cream to numb the area prior to treatment.
