upper-mid face enhancement

The Upper-Mid portion of the face, often referred to as anchors of the face by us at One Clinic MD, is the most important part of the facial structure with respect to support, foundation and contour. This is the area where the very first signs of aging are seen and a careful assessment, along with technical skilful approach, is key. Dermal filler injections in this area can help with lifting of the overall facial structures for a more youthful and healthier appearance by volume restoration. Proper treatment of this area will also help with creating contour to the facial structure. At One Clinic MD, our goal is creating beautiful results that are subtle, natural and proportional with respect to other facial features.

Risks & adverse effects

Risks and adverse effects associated with injectable fillers are minimal in general. The common immediate adverse effects are bruising, redness, swelling and itching in the injected area which will subside in a few days. Much less commonly there may be eruptions, skin sores or infection at the injection site. On rare occasions, hard persistent bumps or nodules may form requiring surgical excision or dermal fillers may migrate and spread to an area other than the one they were injected into.

How Does It Work?

The procedure is done after careful consideration of the facial anatomy, dynamics and proportions. Results are achieved by injection of hyaluronic acid fillers in multiple areas of the mid-face to create support and contour. At One Clinic MD, only highest quality hyaluronic acid fillers are used with extensive research and development, proven safety and effectiveness, and approved by Health Canada. For more information please refer to Health Canada’s website.

Contraindications
