Hyaluronic acid fillers are injectable gels. Products differ, and selection depends on the area, tissue and intended use. The consultation considers the whole face and whether adding volume is an appropriate option at all.
Who is the consultation for?
For adults seeking advice about volume or facial contours. Assessment also considers skin quality, existing asymmetry and any previously injected materials.
How is this option assessed?
Your goals, facial structure and medical history guide the discussion. If an injection is considered, the consultation covers the proposed product and area, risks and follow-up arrangements.
What should you discuss?
- Bring details of previous fillers, especially if the material is unknown.
- Mention allergies, medicines, active infection and recent or planned dental treatment.
- Adding volume does not address every change in skin or facial structure; alternatives also matter.
Limitations & risks
Injections can cause swelling, pain, bruising, lumps, infection or asymmetry. Injection into a blood vessel is a rare but serious complication that can cause tissue injury, vision loss or stroke. Unusual pain, skin colour changes or visual changes need immediate medical care.
Are all fillers the same?
No. Their composition, gel properties and indications can differ. A material name alone does not establish whether it is appropriate for a particular area or person.
Can the amount be decided in advance?
An amount cannot be selected from a photograph or another person’s treatment. It forms part of a medical plan based on examination, goals and treatment history.
