Where can dermal fillers be injected?
Cheeks
Get a beautifully contoured cheek with cheek fillers injected by an expert cosmetic doctor. Dermal fillers can be injected into the cheeks to contour the shape and to restore volume lost with age. This can provide a more feminine shape, and help make you look rested and refreshed.
Tear Troughs
Have hollow and sunken eyes corrected by an expert cosmetic doctor using premium under eye filler injections. Naturally hollow eyes or ones that have become sunken with age resulting in dark circles can give you a tired and worn-out appearance, even if you aren’t. Restoring or augmenting the volume in this area can provide a rested appearance, with a gentle contour between the lower eyelid and cheek. This treatment is often combined with skin tightening and anti-wrinkle injections for comprehensive total eye rejuvenation.
Lips
With expertly placed dermal fillers, done by an experienced cosmetic doctor, you can improve the shape, texture and volume of your lips. Whether you want a fuller pout, or simply hydration or gentle rejuvenation to restore lost volume, Dr. Aaron can provide a comprehensive lip augmentation or rejuvenation using premium lip dermal fillers.
Nose
If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose, but don’t want to have expensive and risky surgery with downtime, dermal fillers can help. Dr. Aaron is one of Australia’s leading cosmetic doctors in the non-surgical rhinoplasty with dermal filler. Only the highest quality dermal fillers are used and are meticulously injected using a unique technique Dr. Aaron has developed and refined over many years to achieve natural results that suit your appearance. Bumps can be disguised, bridges built up, tips ‘lifted’, and curves straightened, all with no downtime, minimal risk and almost no discomfort.
Chin
A small chin or one that sites back can cause imbalance to the face, and affect jawline definition. By strategically injecting dermal filler, Dr. Aaron can restructure the lower face with a non-surgical chin augmentation to give balance to the face, and improve the jawline contour. It is a great alternative for people who aren’t ready or who aren’t interested in going under the knife to have their bones manipulated, or implants inserted.
Jawline
Expertly placed dermal fillers can enhance jawline definition, and provide structure, contour, and balance to the lower. This treatment is ideal for both men and women who are seeking non-surgical jawline sculpting. Jawline asymmetry can be corrected, jowls softened, features masculinised or feminised (depending on the area injected), and aged appearance disguised, all by using premium dermal fillers injected in key locations.

How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are a volumising gel made of a carbohydrate that can be found in the human body. this natural carbohydrate, hyaluronic acid, is involved in cellular signalling, as well as in providing structural support and hydration to the various human tissues where it can be found (such as the skin and spinal column). Injectable dermal fillers are a synthetic and biocompatible (meaning they don’t tend to react when administered to the body) version of this carbohydrate. When injected, dermal fillers volumise the target tissue, adding projection. Being able to add projection allows a cosmetic injector to restore lost volume, or reshape the structure of your face. Over time, the dermal fillers settle in, blending with your natural tissue, meaning your results will look natural and balanced. Over time, the fillers are broken down naturally by an enzyme in the body known as hyaluronidase. They can also be immediately reversed by injecting a synthetic version of this enzyme.
Dermal filler are commonly used to augment the cheeks, define the jawline, project the chin, and straighten the nose. These areas may be treated for cosmetic or anti-ageing reasons, depending on your age, and your individual needs and goals.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers has typically been said to be anywhere from 3-24 months, depending on the type of dermal filler, and personal characteristics such as metabolism. Often, clinics will understate how long fillers will last, as over-promising longevity can cause you to feel cheated if they don’t last as long as expected.
New research on dermal filler longevity done in Melbourne, Australia, is challenging our idea of how long it takes for the body to break down dermal fillers. Many patients often report that their dermal fillers seem to last many years. MRI scans of people who have previously had dermal filler injections are demonstrating that the fillers can last up to ten years.
When examining the scientific properties of how dermal fillers are metabolised and broken down by the body, we see that the longevity is unpredictable.
What must also be considered is the ageing process, and the limitations of treatment. As you age, you may think that your dermal filler is wearing off, whereas, in reality, you are simply ageing over the top of it. this is why skin tightening treatments are so important – we need to keep the canvas over the filler as tight and youthful as possible. Not doing so will increase the chance of relying purely on dermal fillers, causing overfilled or overfilling syndrome.
Secondly, the tissue can only be stretched so much. A good example of this is lip fillers. When freshly done, with some swelling, the definition and plump appearance is pleasing to many people. Unfortunately, the natural elasticity of the skin means that once the critical volume is reached, any more filler that is injected will gradually be squeezed out of the lips (a process known as migration) by the elasticity. This process occurs gradually and is often perceived by the person as their filler wearing off, so they go and have a repeat lip filler treatment.
Understanding and appreciating the innate qualities of facial tissues allows boundaries to be set, expectations to be managed, and overfilling avoided.
Overfilling can damage the tissue, cause a botched appearance, and leads to higher costs (in having the procedure and then correcting any issues).
A truly experienced and insightful cosmetic doctor will take the time to explain the limitations of dermal filler injections to you before your treatment.
Reverse ageing with dermal fillers
Volume loss is one of the earliest manifestations of the ageing process in the face. Dermal filler injections can be used to add volume in areas of age-related volume loss to rejuvenate your appearance and make you look younger. When done properly, your dermal filler results will look natural and elegant. While there may be some initial swelling, once healed, dermal fillers are a great treatment option for people looking for a quick, safe and no downtime treatment option to refresh their appearance naturally.
Facial balancing and rejuvenation with dermal fillers
Augmenting facial features with dermal fillers can help you to look more attractive. While definitions of beauty are different across different cultures, subcultures, ages and individuals, there are some fundamental principles of what looks attractive. A comprehensive dermal filler consultation will allow your concept of beauty to be understood. Refining the face as a whole, and improving specific facial features with fillers such as the nose and chin, will help you to feel more confident with your appearance, without making you look like a different person.
