About this treatment
Dermal fillers come in different materials and have different uses. A consultation should assess your face and discuss the change you have in mind before recommending a product or amount. Risks and alternatives need to be explained before you decide.
At your appointment
Your preferences
Discuss the change you are considering and what is realistically possible. A product or amount should follow an assessment.
Your practitioner
Check who will perform the procedure, their relevant qualifications and experience, and how complications would be recognised and managed.
The full plan
Confirm the product, area, amount, price and follow-up. Take time to consider the risks and alternatives before deciding.
Risks & considerations
- Filler complications can be serious, including infection, nerve damage and blindness. The consent discussion must cover the proposed procedure.
- Materials differ; do not assume that every filler can be managed or reversed in the same way.
- Treatment cannot guarantee symmetry or a particular appearance, and choosing no procedure remains an option.
Common questions
Should I decide on the amount first?
No. The product and amount should follow an assessment of your face and a discussion of your preferences.
What should I check about the practitioner?
Ask about relevant training, experience, insurance and arrangements for complications. Verify any stated professional registration on the named register.
Is a review included in the price?
Confirm the review policy and any charges before booking. A review does not automatically include or require more treatment.
Your suitability needs to be assessed by a qualified practitioner. Ask about expected benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.
