Dermal Filler — Facial Volumetry

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, temples, chin, jawline and the folds running from nose to mouth. At KM Dental Experts the doctor plans treatment across the face so proportions stay balanced rather than simply filling individual lines. Options range from a single area to under-eye tear-trough correction, and hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if an adjustment is needed.

Facial volumetry uses cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace deep volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age. Because that loss of underlying support is part of what drives sagging and deepening folds, restoring it in the right places can do more for a refreshed look than treating individual creases. At KM Dental Experts treatment is delivered by a doctor in the aesthetic-medicine clinic, who assesses the face as a whole and proposes a plan — from a single cheek or chin correction to softening nasolabial folds or rebuilding a jawline. Numbing cream is applied first and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a 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. The centre's menu also includes the delicate under-eye tear-trough area and deep-wrinkle correction, as well as skin-quality boosters and bio-stimulators for patients whose main concern is texture rather than volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers are gradually broken down by the body over a number of months, with the exact duration depending on the product and area, after which the treatment can be repeated. A key safety advantage is that hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme, allowing a result to be adjusted or reversed. Volumetry is a cosmetic treatment for adults; it is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Suitability, the most appropriate areas and the final cost are confirmed by the doctor at consultation; the price shown reflects a single volumetric area.
