During a consultation, doctor will assess your condition and understand your needs and concerns before recommending the best treatment options to you. Doctor will address your areas of concern, explain the procedures, potential risks, downtime and customise a complete treatment plan according to your condition, working schedule and budget. Before and after treatment photos are taken for documentation of treatment progress.

As a medical director in Singapore, Dr Lim believes that every precaution must be taken before doctor commence with any sort of filler treatment. Doctor also believe that there no one-size-fits-all treatment option for a patient; every patient is different and time and effort must be spent examining the case so that the treatment protocol doctor decide on is the best one for you.

Topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment areas prior to the filler injection to minimise discomfort. An appropriate amount of approved fillers are injected into the skin and subcutaneous tissues to achieve desired results. The safe technique, appropriate fillers, the optimal amount of fillers and precise injection area for fillers are the key points for a good clinical outcome. The techniques doctor use for a nose fillers treatment will be different from what doctor use in other forms of treatment.

The whole process for fillers injections takes 10~20 minutes and it is well-tolerated by patients.

Depending on the filler brand, product viscosity of the filler, treatment areas of the skin and pre-treatment condition, the longevity of fillers varies according to the individual and their lifestyle. Generally, the results can last from 9 to 24 months. Dermal fillers are not permanent and will be broken down by our body’s immune system over time. Follow up treatment may be required to maintain the good results.

Based on doctor's experience, severe side effects are rare when doing dermal fillers. Most patients will simply have some light bruising and swelling which will disappear after a while. However, there is a statistically low chance of more severe side effects occurring, such as skin necrosis.

Skin necrosis can happen if an ulcer forms underneath the skin due to the insertion of the hyaluronic acid. Also, if there is a major disruption of blood flow due to the filler, there is a chance that skin necrosis might happen. A few years back in Singapore, there was also a case of blindness due to unforeseen complications that arose after a nose fillers procedure.

This risk can be further amplified if you go to an unlicensed spa or beauty salon for fillers treatment. Although the procedures are cheaper, it is unlikely that the brand of fillers being used is HSA approved, leading to a greater risk of infection and unforeseen side effects.

To ensure the good safety practices for face fillers, Dr Lim only use HSA approved fillers in MY Medical Aesthetics. By using approved fillers that go through the relevant safety protocols, doctor largely minimise the risk of any unforeseen side effects that might occur.

Nose fillers, facial fillers or other sites injected with hyaluronic acid fillers may lead to injection-related side effects, such as redness, bruising, slight swelling or itching. This is considered to be expected and will heal naturally over 7-14 days.
