What can be achieved?
Yesterdays Fillers
Consisted of liquid silicone, wax and animal collagen. Due to many documented problems with these older fillers they have been abandoned for newer safer ones with a better benefit to side effect profile. While collagen may still be used it involves a series of pre-injection testing to ensure you don’t react to the animal product.
Todays Injections
Are made up of synthetically produced sugars, which are naturally present in joints and the deeper layers of our skin and tissue. These sugars are made with variations in cross linkage to give products of differing consistency. This enables fine or deep wrinkles to be addressed and volume restoration possible.
Fillers are injected by Dr Jack Zoumaras to rejuvenate and revitalize the face. The dermal fillers can be used to fill wrinkles, replace the volume lost with facial aging, improve facial angles and augment the lips.

FAQs
Yes, as a Plastic Surgeon led practice we will advise what is the appropriate amount of injections.
Hyalournidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid that is present in injections. This can be used reverse injections.
Injections that volumise have side effects that are related to the actual injections. They include bleeding, bruising and itching. Rarely they can block blood vessels that can lead to necrosis of the skin and even blindness.
Depending upon the type of injection used, the it may last from 6 months to 18 months. Experience demonstrates that these injections are often semi permanent and can last several years.
There is some discomfort associated with the use of needles to inject the filler. Local anaesthetic combined with the filler will reduce the pain associated with the injections.
