What happens at your appointment

Dr Godara will assess your facial proportions and discuss what you would like to change, including whether filler is the right approach. If you go ahead, numbing cream and fillers containing local anaesthetic keep discomfort low. Treatment usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.

Results and how long they last

You will see a difference straight away, and the final result once any swelling settles, usually within two weeks. Depending on the area and the product, results typically last from six months to over a year.

Possible side effects and risks

• Swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising, usually settling within a week or two
• Small lumps, which usually settle or can be massaged or dissolved
• Infection or an allergic reaction, which are uncommon
• Rarely, filler can block a blood vessel. This needs urgent treatment and, very rarely, can damage the skin or affect vision

Aftercare

For 24 hours, avoid touching the area, make-up, alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas and very hot or cold temperatures. You will receive written aftercare advice and a follow-up review.

Common questions

Can dermal filler be reversed?

Hyaluronic acid fillers can usually be dissolved with an enzyme if needed.

How much filler will I need?

It depends on the areas treated and the look you want. Dr Godara will recommend the least needed for a natural result, and give you a clear price before treatment.
