Since it is a non-surgical procedure, it is a lunchtime procedure and gives instantaneous results. Fillers are used to iron out nasolabial folds that grow deeper with advancing age. The other indications for which fillers are used are: shaping lips (lip pouting), adding volume to cheeks, and aesthetic treatment of nose, shaping the jaw line, and smoothening the skin under one’s eyes.

What amount of dermal fillers should be given to the patient and how are they administered?

The amount of dermal fillers to be administered depends upon the reason for which it is used. Different aesthetic treatments require different amounts. However, only an experienced doctor can decide how much to inject. Fillers are injected into the skin layers.
