Are facial fillers safe?

Hyaluronic acid fillers are the safest category of injectable filler because they are completely reversible — the filler can be dissolved using hyaluronidase if the result is unsatisfactory or a complication occurs. Vascular occlusion is the most serious risk and occurs when filler is inadvertently injected into or compresses a blood vessel. This risk is minimised by using blunt cannulas for certain areas and by injecting slowly with aspiration. At Aesthetic Studio, all filler injections are performed by Dr. Bharathi, whose surgical anatomy training significantly reduces this risk compared to non-surgeon injectors.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Dermal fillers typically last between six and eighteen months. The duration depends on the density of the product and the area treated; highly mobile areas like the lips metabolise fillers faster (typically six to nine months), while deeper structural areas like the cheeks or jawline can retain fillers for up to eighteen months.

Will my face look unnatural or overfilled?

No. At Aesthetic Studio, the focus is on natural proportions and subtle rejuvenation. Dr. Bharathi uses a conservative injection approach, restoring volume precisely to target structural deficiencies. This prevents the "overfilled" look and preserves your natural facial expressions.

Is there downtime or recovery after dermal fillers?

There is minimal downtime, and most patients resume daily activities immediately. Mild swelling, redness, and minor bruising at the injection sites are normal and typically resolve within two to five days. We advise avoiding strenuous exercise and direct heat for twenty-four hours after treatment.

Can fillers be combined with other treatments?

Yes — fillers are commonly combined with Botox, PRP, skin boosters, or thread lifts for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. In the rare event of an adverse result, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved immediately using the enzyme hyaluronidase. Dr. Bharathi is fully trained in complication management and maintains emergency reversing protocols at the clinic.
