WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

What dermal fillers actually are

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances — most commonly hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule that occurs naturally in your skin — injected beneath the surface to restore lost volume, smooth lines, or refine facial proportions. Hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible — if you change your mind or want adjustment, an enzyme called hyaluronidase dissolves them. Results are visible immediately and last 9–18 months depending on the area and product used.

Dermal Fillers for Volume Restoration

Dermal fillers for volume restoration and anti-ageing

The face loses volume with age — fat pads shrink, bone structure subtly recedes, and skin becomes less supportive. The result is hollowing in the cheeks, shadows under the eyes, deepening lines around the mouth, and overall flattening of facial structure. Targeted dermal filler placement restores that volume — not by changing your face, but by returning what’s been lost.

The five most common volume restoration zones

01

Cheek filler

Restores the projection and definition of the mid-face that’s lost with age or that some patients are born with less of. Lifts the cheekbone area, supports the under-eye, and softens nasolabial folds indirectly.

Typical volume: 1–2 ml per side. Lasts 12–18 months.

02

Under-eye filler / Tear trough filler

Treats the hollow shadow that develops under the eyes — making patients look tired even when well-rested. The most technique-sensitive area on the face — millimetres of placement matter. Typical volume: 0.5–1 ml per side. Lasts 9–12 months.

03

Filler for nasolabial folds (smile lines)

Softens the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth. In most cases, deep nasolabial folds are caused by mid-face volume loss — which is why we often treat the cheek first, and the nasolabial fold itself only secondarily.

Typical volume: 0.5–1 ml. Lasts 9–12 months.

04

Marionette lines (corners of mouth)

Treats the downward lines that form from the corners of the mouth toward the chin, often making the face look sad or tired.

Typical volume: 0.5–1 ml. Lasts 9–12 months.

05

Temple filler (temple hollowing)

Restores volume to the temples — a subtle but high-impact treatment that lifts the upper face and opens up the eye area.

Typical volume: 1 ml per side. Lasts 12–18 months.

Most patients combine 2–3 zones in a single session for a balanced result. Treatment plan is mapped at consultation based on what your face has actually lost — not against a generic template.

DERMAL FILLERS FOR FACAIL STRUCTURING

Dermal fillers for facial structuring and definition

Not every filler is about restoring something lost. Many patients use fillers to refine proportions they’ve always had, or to define features that didn’t develop fully. These are non-surgical alternatives to procedures that would otherwise require surgery.

Chin filler / Non-surgical chin augmentation

Adds projection and definition to a recessed or weak chin. Improves the side profile dramatically — and balances the lower face with the upper face. Often used in combination with jawline filler. Typical volume: 1–2 ml. Lasts 12–18 months.

Jawline filler

Defines the angle of the jaw and the line from the chin to the angle. Particularly impactful for patients who feel their lower face lacks definition. Typical volume: 2–4 ml across the jawline. Lasts 12–18 months.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty (liquid rhinoplasty)

Refines the nose without surgery — smoothing a dorsal hump, lifting the tip, correcting minor asymmetry. The procedure adds volume strategically; it does not reduce the nose. For patients who want subtle refinement and want to avoid surgery. Typical volume: 0.5–1 ml. Lasts 9–12 months.

Important:

non-surgical rhinoplasty has limitations. It cannot reduce nose size, narrow a wide bridge, or correct breathing issues. For those, surgical rhinoplasty is required. We are honest about this at consultation — non-surgical rhinoplasty is the right answer for a specific patient profile, not for everyone.

Is Dermal Filler Right For You?

Is dermal filler the right treatment for you?

Filler is likely right if you:
  • Have lost volume that you want subtly restored
  • Want to refine a feature without surgery
  • Are 25+ and noticing early volume loss
  • Want a treatment with no downtime
  • Are considering surgery but want to start with something less committed
  • Want a result that's reversible if you change your mind
Filler may not be right if you:
  • Are looking for permanent results — fillers last 9–18 months
  • Have unrealistic expectations — filler refines, it doesn't transform a face
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (defer until later)
  • Have an active skin infection in the treatment area
  • Have certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders (assessed at consultation)
  • Have keloid-prone scarring history at injection sites

ON THE DAY

What happens during your filler session

Treatment Process
Step
What happens
Time
1

Assessment & marking

Dr. Vasu examines your face in motion. Photographs taken. Treatment zones marked. Filler type and volume confirmed with you.

10–15 min
2

Numbing

Topical numbing cream applied. Most fillers also contain lidocaine, which numbs the tissue as it's injected.

10–15 min wait
3

Injection

Precise placement of filler at the marked points using a needle or cannula depending on the area. Most patients describe it as a small pinch and pressure.

15–20 min
4

Post-session

Mild swelling and possibly small bruising at injection sites — both settle in 24–72 hours. Aftercare instructions, ice if needed. You leave the clinic and resume normal life.

5–10 min

Most patients see immediate results, with minor swelling that settles over 2–3 days. The “final” result — once swelling resolves — is visible by day 3–5.

★★★★★ 
 

I’d been hiding my torn earlobes under my hair for nearly a decade. Thirty minutes with Dr. Vasu and they were gone. The scar is honestly invisible. I wish I’d done it years ago.

Calm, surgical, completely judgment-free. I had stretched lobes from old gauges and Dr. Vasu treated it as a serious repair, not a cosmetic afterthought. Healed beautifully.

I went to two dermatologists before I came here. The difference in technique is immediately obvious. This is a plastic surgeon doing a plastic surgeon’s job.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions, answered honestly.

How long do dermal fillers last?
9–18 months depending on the area and the filler product used. Cheek and jawline fillers tend to last longest (12–18 months) because there’s less muscle movement. Lip and under-eye fillers last 9–12 months on average. Maintenance treatments are typically scheduled every 12 months.
Are fillers reversible if I don't like the result?

Yes — hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which dissolves the filler in 24–48 hours. This is one of the most reassuring properties of HA fillers and one reason they’re the dominant filler type in modern aesthetic medicine.

Will I look fake or overdone?

Not when dosed correctly. The modern approach is “less is more” — restoring proportion, not adding volume for its own sake. Most patients want to look refreshed, not different. Conservative volume, distributed correctly, is the rule at our clinic.

Does filler hurt?

The injections themselves feel like small pinches, made comfortable by topical numbing and the lidocaine in most filler products. Tear trough and lip filler are slightly more sensitive areas. Most patients describe sessions as much more comfortable than they expected.

Will I bruise?

Bruising is possible but not certain — about 30% of patients have some bruising at injection sites that settles in 5–7 days. The likelihood is higher for tear trough and lip areas where the skin is thinner. Cannulas (instead of needles) reduce bruising in many cases.

When can I go back to work or social events?

Same day for most patients. Mild swelling is normal for 24–72 hours. If you have an important event, schedule your filler session at least 2 weeks ahead so any bruising or swelling has fully resolved.

Which filler brand do you use?

We use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers from authorised distributors. The specific product is matched to the area and your needs — different fillers have different properties

How is filler different from Botox?

Botox relaxes muscles to soften lines caused by movement. Filler adds volume to restore lost tissue or define structure. They work on different anatomical layers and are commonly combined in a single appointment for a complete result.

What does dermal filler cost in Hyderabad?

Pricing is per syringe (usually 1 ml per syringe). Cost varies based on the filler product used and how many syringes your treatment plan requires.

Can I have multiple zones treated in one session?

Yes — and many patients do. Treating multiple zones in one session is often more efficient and produces a more balanced result than treating one zone at a time. Treatment plan is mapped at consultation.

What if I want lip filler — is that on this page?

Lip filler is covered separately because the technique, products, and outcomes are different from other facial filler. Read about lip filler in Hyderabad →
