At Dr Aesthetica, we offer dermal fillers to enhance your natural radiance. Why choose dermal fillers? Our treatments provide instant lifting and definition to facial contours, ensuring natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Crafted to mimic the body's natural hyaluronic acid, our fillers also improve skin quality over time by stimulating collagen production. Choose Dr Aesthetica for immediate, customizable, and long-lasting rejuvenation.
1. Minimally Invasive:
•Dermal Fillers: Involve simple injections with minimal discomfort, no incisions, and no general anaesthesia.
•Surgery: Requires cuts, stitches, and often general anaesthesia, which increases the risk and recovery time.
2. Quick Procedure and Recovery:
•Dermal Fillers: Treatments typically take 15-30 minutes with little to no downtime. Patients can often return to their daily activities immediately.
•Surgery: Procedures can take several hours with a recovery period that can extend to weeks or months, often requiring time off work and other activities.
3. Reversible and Adjustable:
•Dermal Fillers: Results can be adjusted or reversed if the patient is not satisfied, especially with hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
•Surgery: Results are permanent and difficult to adjust once the procedure is done. Revision surgeries can be complicated and costly.
4. Lower Risk of Complications:
•Dermal Fillers: Have a lower risk of complications such as infection, scarring, and anaesthesia-related side effects.
•Surgery: Comes with higher risks, including complications from anaesthesia, bleeding, infection, and noticeable scarring.
5. Cost-Effective:
•Dermal Fillers: Generally more affordable than surgical procedures, making them accessible to a wider range of patients.
•Surgery: Typically more expensive due to the complexity of the procedure, anaesthesia, and longer recovery time.
6. Natural and Gradual Results:
•Dermal Fillers: Provide natural-looking results that enhance the skin gradually, allowing for subtle changes that are often more aesthetically pleasing.
•Surgery: Can result in dramatic and sometimes unnatural changes that may not meet the patient’s expectations.
7. Flexibility in Treatment:
•Dermal Fillers: Can be used to treat various areas of the face, including lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and under-eye areas, with precise control over volume and placement.
•Surgery: Is generally more targeted and less versatile for addressing multiple minor issues simultaneously.
8. Convenience:
•Dermal Fillers: Are quick and convenient, often referred to as “lunchtime procedures” because they can be done during a lunch break.
•Surgery: Requires significant time commitments for the procedure itself, pre-operative preparation, and post-operative care.
9. Temporary Effects:
•Dermal Fillers: Provide temporary results, allowing patients to try out different looks and make adjustments over time as their aesthetic preferences change.
•Surgery: Produces permanent changes, which may not be ideal for individuals who prefer flexibility in their appearance.
10. Less Emotional and Physical Stress:
•Dermal Fillers: Cause less emotional and physical stress compared to surgery, as the procedures are quick, relatively painless, and require no significant lifestyle changes.
•Surgery: Can be emotionally and physically taxing due to the invasive nature of the procedures and the longer recovery periods.
