Lower Face Wrinkles

You’ll notice changes straight away, but the complete outcome will be visible after about 2 weeks when the swelling subsides and the filler fully settles.

You can expect the results to last for 6 to18 months, depending on which area has been treated, which product has been used, and how your body responds to the lower face wrinkles fillers.

Temporary side effects may include possible redness and swelling, usually clearing within 24-48 hours. Bruising can occur and might take 2-3 weeks to fade fully. Consider this when planning for important social events. The fillers, being biodegradable gel implants, rarely become infected and more severe complications are uncommon. The treatment itself will be thoroughly explained during the consent process, before any procedure. It’s important to note that while these effects are possible, they are generally manageable and the benefits often outweigh the risks for most patients.

During lower face wrinkles injections, you might feel slight discomfort. Dr Fitzgerald can apply local anaesthetic cream beforehand to reduce this sensation. Many individuals barely notice the procedure, as the impact is usually minimal.

You will have a consultation with Dr Fitzgerald in her Oxford clinic, or at one of her other clinics, during which your suitability for the treatment will be assessed and your expectations discussed. She may suggest alternative treatments, if she thinks there is a better option in your individual case.

Made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in our skin, dermal fillers work by literally “filling” in wrinkles, fine lines, and areas that have lost volume. When injected beneath the skin, they act like a sponge, attracting water and plumping up the area. It’s like inflating a deflated balloon – the filler adds volume, smoothing out wrinkles and creating a more youthful appearance.
