At Skin and Scar Care Clinic, we offer carefully planned dermal filler treatments to restore balance, definition and natural facial harmony.
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance facial contours, soften lines, restore lost volume and improve the proportions of the face without surgery. Our approach is natural, medical and anatomy-led, with the aim of helping you look refreshed rather than overfilled.
Our most requested dermal filler treatments include:
- Liquid rhinoplasty / non-surgical nose reshaping
- Chin contouring and profile balancing
- Cheek contouring in the zygoma area
All treatments are carried out following a detailed consultation and personalised assessment.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, enhance contour and improve facial proportions. Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that helps maintain hydration, softness and structure.
Depending on the area treated, dermal fillers can be used to:
- Add gentle contour and definition
- Restore age-related volume loss
- Improve facial symmetry
- Enhance the side profile
- Support the midface and cheekbone area
- Improve chin projection
- Smooth selected lines and folds
- Create a more balanced, harmonious appearance
At Skin and Scar Care Clinic, we focus on natural-looking results and careful anatomical placement.
Our Signature Dermal Filler Treatments
Liquid Rhinoplasty / Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping
Liquid rhinoplasty, also known as non-surgical rhinoplasty or nose filler, is one of the most advanced dermal filler treatments. It uses carefully placed hyaluronic acid filler to improve the shape and profile of the nose without surgery.
This treatment can be suitable for clients who want to improve the appearance of the nose but are not ready for surgical rhinoplasty.
Liquid rhinoplasty can help improve:
- A small dorsal hump or bump on the bridge of the nose
- Irregularities along the nasal bridge
- A slightly drooping nasal tip
- Mild asymmetry
- A flat or low nasal bridge
- A nose that appears uneven from the side profile
- Post-surgical minor irregularities, where suitable
- Overall facial profile balance
What liquid rhinoplasty cannot do
It is important to understand that nose filler does not make the nose physically smaller. Instead, it works by adding carefully placed volume to create the illusion of a straighter, smoother or more balanced nose.
Liquid rhinoplasty cannot:
- Reduce the actual size of the nose
- Narrow wide nostrils
- Correct breathing problems
- Remove excess cartilage or bone
- Replace surgical rhinoplasty where major structural change is required
- Permanently alter the nose shape
For some clients, surgical rhinoplasty may be more appropriate.
Why nose filler is a specialist treatment
The nose is a high-risk area because of its delicate blood supply and close connection with important facial vessels. For this reason, liquid rhinoplasty should only be performed by an experienced medical practitioner with advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and complication management.
At Skin and Scar Care Clinic, safety, conservative planning and careful assessment are central to our approach.
Chin Contouring and Profile Balancing
The chin plays a major role in facial balance, jawline definition and the overall side profile. A slightly recessed chin can make the lower face appear less defined and may contribute to the appearance of a heavier neck or double chin.
Chin filler can be used to improve chin projection, shape and contour without surgery.
Chin filler can help improve:
- A small or recessed chin
- Mild retrognathia, where the chin sits slightly further back than ideal
- Poor lower-face projection
- Weak side profile
- Reduced jawline definition
- Mild chin asymmetry
- The appearance of a double chin caused by poor chin support
- Facial balance between the nose, lips and chin
How chin filler works
Chin filler is placed carefully to support the underlying structure of the lower face. In selected cases, filler may be placed in a deeper plane close to the bone to create better projection and longer-lasting structural support.
The aim is not to create an obvious or heavy chin, but to improve proportion, shape and facial balance.
Benefits of chin contouring
- Improves side profile
- Supports jawline definition
- Helps balance the nose and lower face
- Can create a more elegant facial contour
- May reduce the appearance of lower-face heaviness
- No surgical scar
- Minimal downtime compared with surgery
Cheek Contouring / Zygoma Area Filler
The cheekbone or zygoma area is one of the key support points of the face. With ageing, weight loss or natural anatomy, the midface can lose volume and structure, leading to flattening of the cheeks, heaviness around the lower face and a tired appearance.
Cheek filler can be used to restore support, improve contour and enhance facial definition.
Cheek filler can help improve:
- Flat or under-defined cheekbones
- Midface volume loss
- Tired appearance
- Lower-face heaviness caused by reduced cheek support
- Mild nasolabial fold shadowing
- Facial asymmetry
- Loss of youthful contour
- Poor definition in the zygoma area
Zygoma area contouring
The zygoma is the cheekbone area that gives the face structure and lift. Strategic filler placement in this area can create a more sculpted appearance while also supporting the surrounding tissues.
Treatment may involve the lateral cheek, anterior cheek or midface depending on your anatomy and goals.
Our approach to cheek filler
Our aim is to restore elegant, natural structure rather than create an overfilled appearance. We assess your face from the front, side and three-quarter view to decide where filler will create the best balance.
Cheek filler can also be combined with chin or nose filler as part of a full facial balancing treatment.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
1. Consultation and facial assessment
Your appointment starts with a detailed consultation. We will assess your facial anatomy, proportions, skin quality, medical history and treatment goals.
We will discuss what filler can realistically achieve and whether your chosen treatment is suitable for you.
2. Personalised treatment plan
No two faces are the same. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your anatomy and may include one area or a combination of areas such as the nose, chin and cheeks.
3. Treatment
The skin is cleaned thoroughly. Depending on the area, filler may be placed using a fine needle or cannula. Many dermal fillers contain local anaesthetic to improve comfort.
Treatment usually takes around 20–45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
4. Immediate results
Results are usually visible immediately, although there may be some swelling, redness or minor bruising at first.
5. Review and refinement
A review may be recommended once swelling has settled, particularly for advanced treatments such as liquid rhinoplasty or full-face balancing.
Dermal Filler Timeline
Immediately after treatment
You may notice visible improvement straight away. Mild redness, swelling, tenderness or small marks at the injection sites are common.
First 24–48 hours
Swelling and tenderness may be more noticeable. Bruising can occasionally occur. Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms and excessive heat.
Days 3–7
Most swelling begins to settle. The filler starts to integrate with the surrounding tissues.
2 weeks
The result is usually more settled. This is a good time to assess symmetry, shape and whether any refinement is required.
3–12 months and beyond
Longevity depends on the area treated, filler type, metabolism, lifestyle, anatomy and amount of product used.
Approximate duration:
Nose filler: commonly 9–18 months
Chin filler: commonly 12–18 months
Cheek filler: commonly 12–18 months
General facial fillers: commonly 6–18 months depending on area and product
Maintenance treatments may be recommended to preserve results.
Indications for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers may be suitable if you are concerned about:
- Loss of facial volume
- Flat cheeks or reduced cheekbone definition
- Recessed chin or weak side profile
- Mild nasal bridge irregularity
- Dorsal hump camouflage
- Mild nasal tip droop
- Facial asymmetry
- Poor facial balance
- Hollowing or ageing changes in the midface
- Softening of selected folds
- Desire for non-surgical facial enhancement
- Subtle rejuvenation without surgery
Who Is Not Suitable for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers may not be suitable if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an active skin infection or inflammation in the treatment area
- Have active cold sores, especially when treating around the mouth
- Have a known allergy to filler ingredients or local anaesthetic
- Have a history of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis
- Have significant autoimmune disease or inflammatory disease that is not controlled
- Have unrealistic expectations
- Want a surgical-level result without surgery
- Have had recent dental infection or significant dental work affecting the treatment area

- Are taking blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder, unless medically assessed
- Have previously had complications from dermal filler
- Have permanent filler or unknown filler in the treatment area
- Have severe skin laxity or volume loss that requires surgery or another treatment approach
For liquid rhinoplasty, extra caution is required because the nose is a higher-risk area. Some clients may be advised that filler rhinoplasty is not appropriate and that surgical rhinoplasty would be safer or more effective.
Dermal Filler Safety
Dermal filler treatment is a medical aesthetic procedure and should be treated seriously. Although most clients experience only mild swelling, tenderness or bruising, complications can occur.
Possible side effects include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Asymmetry
- Lumps or irregularity
- Infection
- Filler visibility
- Tyndall effect or bluish discolouration
- Delayed swelling
- Allergic reaction
- Unsatisfactory result
- Need for dissolving or correction
Rare but serious complications include vascular occlusion, skin damage, tissue necrosis, scarring and visual disturbance. These risks are especially important when treating higher-risk areas such as the nose.
At Skin and Scar Care Clinic, dermal filler treatments are performed with medical assessment, anatomical planning and safety protocols in place.
Aftercare Advice
After dermal filler treatment, please follow your personalised aftercare advice.
General guidance includes:
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area for the first few hours
- Avoid make-up for the rest of the day where possible
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
- Avoid sauna, steam rooms, sunbeds and excessive heat for 48 hours
- Avoid facial massage unless advised
- Avoid dental work for around 2 weeks where possible, especially after lower-face filler
- Sleep slightly elevated if swelling is present
- Use cold compresses gently if advised
Contact the clinic urgently if you develop severe pain, skin colour change, increasing swelling, blistering, visual symptoms or worsening tenderness
Before & After
Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients tolerate treatment well. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others. Many fillers contain local anaesthetic, and additional numbing may be used where appropriate.
Our approach is natural and proportion-focused. The aim is to enhance your features while maintaining your identity.
Most hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase if clinically appropriate. Dissolving is a medical procedure and requires proper assessment.
Liquid rhinoplasty avoids surgical scars and general anaesthetic, but it is not risk-free. The nose is a high-risk filler area because of its blood supply. It must be performed carefully by an experienced medical practitioner.
No. Nose filler does not reduce the physical size of the nose. It can improve the appearance of the nose by smoothing, straightening or balancing the profile.
This depends on your anatomy, treatment area and desired result. We will advise you during consultation. Some clients need staged treatment for the safest and most natural result.
Yes, when suitable. Combining these areas can improve overall facial harmony and side profile balance. This is often called facial balancing.

Disclaimer
Dermal fillers are medical aesthetic treatments and results vary between individuals. Treatment outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Liquid rhinoplasty, chin contouring and cheek contouring can improve facial balance and contour, but they are not alternatives to surgery where significant structural change is required.
Liquid rhinoplasty is a higher-risk filler procedure due to the blood supply of the nose and surrounding facial structures. Rare but serious complications can include vascular occlusion, skin necrosis, scarring, infection and visual disturbance, including blindness.
All treatments require consultation, medical history review and assessment of suitability. A treatment plan may be declined or changed if it is not considered safe or appropriate.
We always aim to provide 100% effort, but the final result depends on your anatomy, tissue response, healing, filler type, lifestyle factors and adherence to aftercare.
