Frequently Asked Questions
Should men get dermal fillers?
The decision to get dermal fillers is a personal one. There’s no right or wrong answer, and it depends on individual goals and preferences.
How long do fillers last in men?
The duration of filler results in men typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. However, this can vary based on several factors:
- Type of filler: Different fillers have different lifespans.
- Area treated: Fillers in areas with more movement (like lips) may not last as long as those in areas with less movement (like cheeks).
- Individual metabolism: How quickly your body metabolises the filler can affect its longevity.
For men, fillers in areas like the chin and jawline often last longer due to the use of thicker products.
Important note: It’s always recommended to consult with a qualified medical professional for a personalised assessment. They can recommend the best filler for your specific needs and provide more accurate estimates based on your individual circumstances.

How Long Does it Take for Filler Swelling to Go Down?
Typically, it takes about 2 weeks for the initial swelling and bruising from dermal fillers to subside. However, this can vary depending on the individual, the type of filler used, and the treatment area.
Factors Affecting Healing Time:
- Type of filler: Some fillers tend to cause more swelling than others.
- Treatment area: Fillers injected into areas with more blood vessels (like the lips) might have more swelling.
- Individual healing process: Everyone heals differently.
Does skin sag after fillers?
There is a very common misconception that dermal fillers can make skin sag, however we can safely say that this is FALSE.
What does bad filler look like?
Bad filler can manifest in several ways. Here are some common indicators:
Lumps and bumps: Visible irregularities under the skin.
- Asymmetry: Uneven distribution of filler, leading to an unbalanced appearance.
- Overfilled areas: An unnatural or exaggerated look, often referred to as “pillow face” or “duck lips.”
- Migration: Filler moving to unintended areas.
- Tyndall effect: A bluish tint visible through the skin, often in the lips.
- Persistent swelling or bruising: These should subside within a few days.
- Allergic reactions: Redness, itching, or difficulty breathing.
More Severe Issues:
- Necrosis: Tissue death due to blocked blood supply.
- Blindness: A rare but serious complication
