Dermal Filler — Facial Volumetry

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, chin and jawline. Rather than only filling lines, the physician plans volumetry across the face so proportions stay balanced and natural. Treatments range from a single millilitre to a multi-millilitre plan, and hyaluronidase is kept on hand to dissolve filler if an adjustment is ever wanted.

Facial volumetry uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace the deep volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age. Because that volume loss is part of what drives sagging and deepening folds, restoring it in the right places often does more for a refreshed appearance than treating individual lines. At CosmoMedical the physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan — from a single millilitre cheek or chin correction up to a structured multi-millilitre approach across one or more sessions. Numbing cream is applied first, and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are normal for a few days. Hyaluronic acid volumetry is generally maintained with a top-up after many months as the gel is gradually broken down by the body. A key safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which the clinic offers should you want to reverse or adjust a result. Volumetry is associated with restored facial contour and is suited to adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, or deepening folds; suitability and any contraindications are reviewed with the physician at consultation.
