Facial Fillers

Facial rejuvenation using injectable fillers involves injecting a substance into the skin to correct a wrinkle or deep fold such as the nose to mouth lines. When injected beneath the skin, these fillers plump up creased wrinkles and folds of the face. They can also add fullness to the lips and cheeks. Injectable fillers may be used alone or in combination with other procedures such as Botox or surgery. Fillers are usually not sufficient for severe lines and wrinkles on the face, such as deeper folds and creases in the face and brow which may be more effectively treated using surgery. Mr Grover will give you an honest opinion as to what the best way of treating you will be.

Are There Many Different Types of Dermal Fillers?
There are many different types of dermal fillers in the market but only a few dermal fillers have demonstrated predictable long term results with minimal swelling and reliable safety. Mr Grover restricts his practice to those products which have consistently demonstrated predictability and safety.

Is the Procedure Painful?
There is some discomfort. The product is injected into the skin with a very fine needle and patients are treated with either a dental injection of local anaesthetic to prevent pain or a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the skin before treatment.

Can I have the treatment and go back to work?
Some patients may experience a little redness and swelling which can be minimized with cover-up makeup. If you are conscious of some mild redness or swelling it may be as well to take the rest of the day off. If you have had the dental type injection of local anaeasthetic then it will be better to rest until the next day as it does make your lips numb.
