Dermal Fillers
The natural loss of tissue volume with age can cause hollowness around the face and eyes, giving a tired appearance. Careful use of dermal fillers can restore the volume, rejuvenating the face.

Summary
Our face ages due to changes in several types of tissue: these include skin, fat, muscle and bone. When we age our bone is being reabsorbed causing the skull to become smaller (shrinks) creating a change to the shape of the face. Fat pads shrink and descend due to changes in structural support, hyperactive muscles, and skin elasticity. These changing factors in combination cause sagging.
Dermal fillers are a bulking agent used to create volume and correct sagging skin. They are a gel type substance containing hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the skin and synthetically produced as a pure product. Used as a filling agent, dermal fillers can help smooth out wrinkles, volumise and lift tissue to help reduce sagging and face shape changes that can happen due to ageing.
With dermal fillers, depending on your age and volume loss, you can replenish skin volume, regain a youthful curve to the cheeks, and produce a higher, firmer facial contour.
Common areas we treat include: cheeks, lips (augmentation and upper lip lines), nose to mouth lines, glabellar lines, chin augmentation, jaw contouring, nose reshaping, temples, tear troughs, neck and decolletage.
The Process
Prior to treatment, you will attend an Aesthetic Consultation with our Facial Aesthetic Clinician Richard Peppiatt, a highly skilled Nurse Prescriber. Here we will discuss with you in detail your medical history, concerns and desired result and go through treatment, ensuring you are a safe and suitable candidate for Dermal Filler treatment.
On the day of treatment we will review your treatment plan before proceeding to treat the areas agreed.
Small quantities of dermal filler are injected into different areas of the face under the surface of the skin.
If this is your first treatment with us, we will ask to see you in clinic again 2 – 3 weeks following treatment to ensure we have achieved the desired results from your treatment.
Why MY Eye Clinic?
We work only with premium brands such as Juvederm and Restylane. All fillers used contain hyaluronic acid only, our Facial Aesthetic Clinician Richard feels after using this type of filler for so many years now the effects of this naturally occurring substance provides very natural results. You also have the confidence that the results of treatment can be reversed should you be unhappy with the outcome.
All products used create safe, predictable, effective results reducing the signs of ageing by providing lift, volume and hydration to the face. Richard believes the best results are achieved by injecting small amounts into different areas of the face under the surface of the skin.

Risks
As with any treatment there can be side effects from dermal fillers but these are usually minimal and settle quickly. Common risks include bruising redness, swelling, pain and tenderness.
Serious problems are rare, but can include:
Infection
Lumpy appearance under the skin which might need treatment with medicines or surgery
Filler moving from the intended treatment area which may require surgical treatment
Scarring
Blocked blood vessels in the face, which can cause tissue death and permanent blindness.

First class recommendation for My Eye Clinic and in particular Andrew Peel who was professional, knowledgeable very thorough. A pleasure to deal with!
So helpful and reassuring. My site is amazing. The whole process was so smooth, I understood everything that I was told and knew of any risks and potential side effects before agreeing to anything. Couldn't be happier.
I recently had permanent lens procedure carried out by Mr Ghosh. Having glasses as a child and contact lenses for many years, this has been an absolute revelation for me. Mr Ghosh was absolutely brilliant and very professional from the start. All the staff are lovely and especially like to thank Dianne, Anita and the team. This has changed my life for the better thanks.
Beautiful clinic, really nice atmosphere, prompt service and really friendly and professional staff. Fernando was particularly great!I would definitely recommend.
Excellent care, all staff very courteous and helpful. YAG surgery clearly explained to me by Mr Morgan, who did a brilliant job. I'd highly recommend this clinic.
I visited the My Hearing Clinic knowing I needed a hearing assessment but thinking it was just a build up of wax. It came as a shock that I heard a hearing loss which needed addressing. The service I received from Andrew was outstanding! He explained my hearing loss and went through all my options. He recognised that it was a lot of information to take in so made a follow up appointment, giving me sufficient time to think about what I wanted to do. From start to finish the service has been excellent, efficient, professional and friendly from the moment you walk through the door and meet Lee. The clinic is well located, parking on site, high standard of cleanliness. Definitely a recommendation from me. Thank you!
Absolutely first class treatment and experience at this wonderful clinic. Staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly Mr Morgan the consultant was lovely explaining everything. I had YAG laser treatment painless no discomfort and almost immediate corrected vision. Thank you all so very very much.
Visited clinic today with a totally blocked left ear. Had micro suction to remove a huge build up of ear wax. It was over in minutes. Excellent, efficient and friendly service from start to finish. Would recommend 100% Worth every penny!
