What are Dermal Fillers?
Dr Raffaella Gabassi boasts over 22 years of experience in the aesthetics field and is recognised for her expertise in dermal filler injections. Dermal fillers are frequently used to refresh the face, to create a more youthful appearance, and to address various concerns, from thin lips to deep wrinkles and jowls. These treatments produce transformative results without requiring surgical intervention.
Dermal fillers are both hydrating and long-lasting injectable treatments that can swiftly rejuvenate and even restructure the face and lips. Dermal fillers consist of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA), that can effectively address facial volume loss and wrinkles, playing a significant role in combating visible signs of ageing. The clinic’s meticulous approach considers individual skin concerns and skin types to achieve natural-looking results.
Addressing a Weak Chin with Dermal Fillers:
A recessive jaw or weak chin, often stemming from genetic factors, can lead to significant self-esteem concerns. Such profiles might lack a distinct neck-to-chin definition, while the upper lip may appear unnaturally prominent. While surgical interventions and implants can transform jaw appearances, the option of chin dermal fillers presents a minimally invasive alternative. This technique involves the skilful application of a suitable product by an experienced aesthetic practitioner. By strategically adding volume, this approach enhances facial structure, offering chin augmentation and results that endure for up to two years.
Cheek Fillers for Jowl Lift
Cheek volume loss is a natural part of ageing, impacting overall facial appearance. Dermal fillers restore cheek plumpness, elevating the jawline and providing a more youthful facial structure.
Midface or cheek fillers effectively lift and contour the lower face, addressing sagging skin and jowls without surgery. By replenishing lost volume in the cheek and jawline areas, these fillers reduce the appearance of sagging skin and achieve a lifted jawline. Consequently, this sought-after treatment can notably diminish the visibility of jowls and sagging skin.
Dr Gabassi’s belief is that non-surgical treatments should only be performed by experienced medical professionals, ensuring the highest standards of care, using dermal fillers to achieve natural yet noticeable results. During your consultation, she will assess areas of volume loss in the cheeks and explain how filler can achieve a lifted appearance. If you choose to proceed, she will schedule your dermal filler treatment, allowing you to achieve results that enhance your natural beauty.
This is yet another powerful example of how the application of dermal fillers by addressing cheek volume loss helps to combat and delay the natural ageing process which can cause cheeks to lose their youthful plumpness, leading to a broader impact on the entire face's appearance. Cheek fillers offer a means to restore this volume, revitalising facial contours and elevating the jawline, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
Personalised Cheek Filler Treatment:
Following the loss of cheek volume, recapturing a radiant complexion can feel like a distant memory. However, our dermal filler procedure offers a solution that leaves you looking revitalised and fresh-faced upon leaving our clinic.
As the ageing process unfolds, facial sagging becomes more apparent, particularly around the jawline where it can lead to the formation of jowls. These jowls can significantly impact self-confidence. Our Juvéderm dermal fillers, infused with ample hyaluronic acid (HA) to provide essential hydration, rejuvenate your appearance. Dr Gabassi also employ fillers to address flattened, hollow, and sunken cheeks, breathing new life into your facial features.
At Dr Gabassi’s clinic, a tailored treatment plan is followed to achieve the best results. If you're seeking a transformative cheek augmentation without resorting to surgery, we encourage you to book a consultation with Dr Gabassi.
Our Juvéderm cheek fillers are enriched with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in moisture retention. As we age, the body's hyaluronic acid concentration declines. With our hyaluronic acid-infused dermal fillers, the jowls are both plumped and hydrated, resulting in a more youthful and lifted facial appearance.
During your obligation-free consultation, Dr Gabassi will identify areas of cheek volume loss and discuss how filler can achieve a lifted appearance. If you decide to proceed, we will schedule your dermal filler treatment, allowing you to achieve results that enhance your natural beauty.
Duration of Cheek Fillers:
The longevity of cheek fillers varies, but on average, the results can last up to one to two years. Your individual experience may differ based on factors such as your metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific filler used.
Cheek dermal fillers from the Juvéderm range typically offer results that persist for around 12 to 15 months. The cheeks tend to experience less movement compared to areas like the lips, potentially contributing to the extended longevity of cheek fillers. However, it's important to note that individual variations in filler metabolism exist, making the duration of effects differ from person to person. Given that filler isn't a permanent solution, periodic touch-up sessions are necessary. During your follow-up appointment, we will assess your facial features and the state of the filler, facilitating a discussion about the subsequent steps.
Discomfort During Cheek Filler Treatment:
As the administration of cheek filler is minimally invasive, any discomfort experienced is brief and generally lasts only for a few minutes during the injection process. To ensure your comfort, we utilise a type of dermal filler, specifically Juvéderm, which includes a local anaesthetic to alleviate any discomfort in the treated area. Subsequent to the injection, minor bruising and swelling might occur, but these effects are typically mild and temporary.
Dr Raffaella Gabassi always prioritise the individual needs and means, offering an exceptional patient experience through expert care and tailored treatments. She believe in a consultative approach and in depth discussion prior to any treatment .Sometimes a cooling off period is recommended prior to embarking in a course of treatment of any kind. This ensures that the patients have sufficient time to reflect on their personalised treatment plan before making a decision to proceed.
