Aesthetic Facial Treatments for Volume Loss – Brisbane

Facial volume treatments (dermal fillers), icon 1, Dr Scott Brisbane

Aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss are planned for each patient based on their needs. A consultation will determine whether this option is suitable for you.

What Are Aesthetic Facial Treatments for Volume Loss?

These are non-surgical treatments considered for patients with changes in facial contours or shape over time. They focus on areas where these changes are present and are planned individually following a consultation. The specific areas to be addressed will be based on the discussion between the patient and Dr Scott Horsburgh.

How Does It Work?

This approach considers facial areas where changes in shape or volume may be linked to factors such as ageing, sun exposure, or lifestyle. The areas to be addressed will be determined during the consultation, and the method will be explained at that time.

Book a Consultation

If you are considering aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss, you can arrange a consultation with Dr Scott Horsburgh. This appointment will give you the opportunity to discuss your concerns, learn about the available options, and understand the possible risks and outcomes.

Suitable Candidates

Aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss may be considered by patients who have noticed changes in facial contours or shape due to ageing, sun exposure, smoking, or natural variation. Suitability will depend on overall health, skin condition, and treatment goals. Dr Scott Horsburgh will review your medical history and discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Areas That May Be Considered

Aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss can be used for different parts of the face. These include:

  • Nose – where shape or symmetry concerns occur.
  • Forehead – where changes in contour are present.
  • Temples – where the contour of the area has altered over time.
  • Areas around the eyes – where structural changes have developed.
  • Midface – Areas where volume loss can occur over time
  • Lower Face – For volume loss or structural enhancement

The specific areas to be addressed will be discussed during your consultation based on an individual assessment.

What to Expect Before the Treatment

Before the appointment, patients may be asked to avoid certain things. This can include not taking blood-thinning medicines such as ibuprofen or aspirin in the days before the treatment, and not drinking alcohol on the day of the appointment. Your consultation will include advice specific to your situation.

What to Expect During the Treatment

The treatment will follow the plan discussed during your consultation. The approach can vary depending on the areas being addressed. All relevant information will be provided before the session.

What to Expect After the Treatment

After the treatment, it is common to notice redness, swelling, or bruising in the treated areas. These effects generally resolve over time, although recovery experiences can vary between patients. You will receive aftercare information, which may include guidance on avoiding pressure or touching the treated areas for a certain amount of time. The length of time the effects last can vary depending on the individual, the approach used, and the areas addressed.

  • Redness, swelling, or bruising at the treatment site
  • Temporary changes in sensation
  • Headache
  • Asymmetry in facial appearance
  • Allergic reactions
  • Infection
  • Blockage of a blood vessel

These risks will be discussed during your consultation before any treatment takes place.
