Dermal fillers in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham
Changes in facial volume, shape or definition can be worth a conversation. At LUMEN in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Marie considers your features as a whole before discussing dermal fillers. The aim is a measured approach that respects your proportions and the result you feel comfortable with.
What dermal fillers involve
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to add volume or alter contours in selected areas.
Products differ in their composition and intended use. Marie will explain the proposed product, where it would be placed and what it may realistically achieve.
Areas you can discuss
Every area is assessed on its own terms.
- LipsBalance, definition and proportion
- Cheeks & templesVolume and support across the mid-face
- JawlineDefinition along the lower face
- Under-eye hollowsNeeds particularly careful assessment
- NoseNon-surgical reshaping, assessed with special care
Suitability varies considerably between areas. Under-eye and nose treatments need particularly careful assessment, and a recommendation may be to choose another approach.

Your questions answered
Questions, answered.
Will the result look natural?
Marie plans around your individual features, but appearance and satisfaction cannot be guaranteed. Your preferences and the limits of treatment will be discussed.
How long do fillers last?
This depends on the product, treatment area and individual response. Marie will explain the expected course for your proposed plan.
Can every filler be dissolved?
No. Some hyaluronic acid fillers can be treated with a dissolving medicine following assessment, but other materials cannot. Dissolving also carries risks.
