Before and After

This patient underwent filler rhinoplasty using Juvederm Voluma. This has helped soften the dorsal hump on her side profile. Some filler has also been used to try and rotate the tip of the nose upward.

We use the Juvederm ® range of fillers produced by Allergan. Fillers are used to restore volume following ageing. The common areas fillers are used include the cheeks, lips and nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines). We also provide more advanced fillers such as non-surgical rhinoplasty and tear trough treatments.

How long do fillers last?

There are a number of different types of hyaluronic acid fillers. How long they last depends on the type of product but generally they can last from 6 months up to 18 months. The softer products such as Volbella or Juvederm 3 last about 6-9 months. The intermediate ones such as Juverderm 4 or Volift last between 9-12 months. The thicker products such as Voluma can last up to 18 months. These are just rough guides as it also depends where the filler is injected. Your body may also break down the products more quickly.

What are the risk of dermal fillers?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the world. They are relatively safe and complications are uncommon. The potential risks with fillers include:

Bruising, Swelling, Bleeding

It is normal to get some swelling after any filler treatment and this usually takes a few days to settle. Some patients may like the initial volume after treatment that reduces after a few days so they think the filler has dissolved but this is actually the swelling improving. Some patients may also experience bruising or bleeding which is can be related to medication being taken. Some medicines such as aspirin and herbal supplements can increase your risk of bleeding and bruising.

Allergic Reactions

Asymmetry

Nodules or Granulomas

These are uncommon with hyaluronic fillers but can occur. Granulomas are lumps that form as a reaction to a foreign substance in the body. These are more common with permanent fillers and certain types of temporary fillers. If lumps form with hyaluronic acid fillers they can often be dissolved with an injection of hyalase. Granulomas from other fillers may need surgical removal.
