Dermal Fillers

For your safety, Mr Olivier Amar personally examines every patient and takes a medical history before considering the correct course of treatment for them. If fillers are the right treatment for you, he can apply numbing cream or use filler mixed with a numbing substance (Lidocaine) before carefully and delicately injecting an appropriate filler to achieve your desired result.

You might consider dermal fillers to:

• Plump thin lips
• Restore the curve of the cheek
• Create the illusion of higher and more prominent cheekbones
• Soften facial wrinkles and folds, such as those on the forehead, between the brows and from the nose to the corner of the mouth (the nasolabial fold)
• Reposition the downturned corner of the mouth
• Define and sculpt the jaw and enhance the chin for a balanced, youthful and structured jawline
• Improve the appearance of bumps or other irregularities on the nose (non-surgical rhinoplasty)
• Remove under-eye hollows and shadows for a less tired appearance
• Fill hollows at the temples to subtly lift the outer brow
• Restore a smooth and youthful contour to the face

In expert hands, dermal fillers are an effective and safe way to rejuvenate the face. Mr Olivier Amar successfully treats many patients in this way. However, fillers are most suitable for patients with reasonably firm, elastic skin.

It is important to understand that treatments may need to change as you grow older and the proportions of your face change. In patients with an excess of sagging skin, fillers may no longer give them the natural rejuvenated look they desire. At this point other approaches, such as a minimally invasive face lift or neck lift, may offer a better outcome.

If you wish, Mr Amar can perform Plasma rich platelet (PRP) in combination with dermal filler treatment to boost the skin’s radiance and luminosity, improve texture and reduce the visible signs of ageing.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are naturally and safely reabsorbed by the body over time. The absorption rate depends on factors including the concentration and type of filler used and the patient’s own metabolism. HA fillers can last between a few months to a year.

Additional injections will be required periodically, generally within 6-12 months to maintain optimal results.

You will see results immediately, though there may be some initial swelling.

It is best to arrive at your appointment with your skin as best prepared for your dermal filler treatment as it can be. This would ideally include not drinking alcohol for 2-3 days prior to your appointment to lessen the risk of bleeding and bruising, as well as having had plenty of rest the night before your treatment to ensure you arrive feeling calm and relaxed.

It is also advised that you do not consume ibuprofen and aspirin for 1 week prior to your appointment as these can also thin your blood making bruising more likely.

Mr Olivier Amar uses only fillers made of an absorbable, non-permanent form of hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of healthy, youthful skin.
