Aesthetic Dermatology
Dermal fillers are injectable products used for selected aesthetic indications such as restoring or enhancing volume. Different products and techniques are used for different areas.
People concerned about dermal fillers may consider a dermatology consultation when the concern is persistent, changing, uncomfortable or affecting confidence. Suitability for any treatment depends on individual assessment.
Assessment considers the concern, relevant history, skin or hair characteristics, previous care, goals and medical suitability before options are discussed.
Our approach
Treatment should be planned conservatively and based on facial anatomy, goals and medical suitability. The aim is appropriate proportion rather than a one-size-fits-all result.
Your appointment begins with a consultation and assessment. Dr. Shreedha Khatavkar will discuss the concern, relevant history, suitable options and realistic expectations. If treatment is appropriate, you will receive guidance on the proposed plan and follow-up.
Recovery, downtime and aftercare vary according to the treatment selected and individual response. Specific guidance is provided after assessment and should be followed carefully.
Results
Results vary between individuals. Where genuine patient photographs are available and appropriate consent has been obtained, the website may display treatment journeys and follow-up images. No artificial before-and-after imagery is used. Photographs are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
Frequently asked questions
Depending on the product and clinical indication, dermal fillers may be used to restore or enhance selected areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin or other facial contours. The appropriate area and product depend on an individual assessment.
Longevity varies with the filler material, treatment area, amount used, metabolism and individual factors. Your clinician can explain the expected duration for the specific product and area being considered.
Reversibility depends on the filler used. Many hyaluronic-acid fillers can be reduced or dissolved with an appropriate enzyme when clinically indicated, but not every filler is reversible in the same way. Product selection should therefore be discussed carefully before treatment.
Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness or bruising can occur after filler injections. The treated area may take time to settle, and you will receive specific aftercare instructions. Seek prompt medical attention for severe or unusual symptoms.
Fillers are not suitable for everyone. Suitability may be affected by active infection or inflammation at the treatment site, certain allergies or medical conditions, some medications and other individual factors. A detailed consultation is needed before treatment.
