Facial volume loss can turn a once attractive face into looking “sad” and “gaunt”.  When we strategically treat this facial volume loss, it is possible to re-create “fullness” 3-dimensionally in the face, resulting in a more “positive” facial expression, as well as improving facial proportions.  The information on this page is to assist you for the consultation you have with Dr Janet when formulating a treatment plan.

A thorough consultation with our doctor is important to discuss strategies for facial rejuvenation.  It is important to have a thorough consultation and assessment with a personalised plan before any treatments.

Both our doctors are skilled and fluent in different techniques of injections (needle or cannula), working knowledge of facial anatomy, and understanding of the skin in order to reduce the risks of vascular accidents and our doctors embrace new technologies such as use of facial ultrasound in the management of any potential complications. 

With the availability of newer agents, we now have more choices to choose from – more robust products to provide structure and projection; softer products for lips and fine lines, or use a different class of products to stimulate collagen in the skin as well.  As a result, it is possible to:

1. restore and support the foundations of facial bony structures,
2. rejuvenate one’s appearance by blending the different regions on the face due to different rates of fat pads shrinkage,
3. reduce and soften superficial fine lines & prevent lines getting deeper, and
4. improvements by enhancing the volume and contour of  facial features such as lips, nose, chin and make the result look as natural as possible.

As with other medical procedures, risks of this type of cosmetic injections include:  pain, infection, swelling, haematoma, bruising, foreign body reactions, vascular occlusion, the most serious complication is blindness, which may be irreversible. Treatment for complications may include antibiotics or injections to dissolve dermal fillers.  If you have any issues after treatment here, please call our doctor who will assist you after procedures, even if after hours.
