Editorial guide

What is dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-based injectable products used to restore volume that has been lost through ageing, augment naturally less-volumised areas (lips, cheeks, chin, jawline), and smooth specific lines and folds. The vast majority of fillers used in Australia are hyaluronic-acid (HA) products — Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero and others — chosen because HA is naturally found in the skin, is reversible with hyaluronidase, and has a well-established safety profile when injected by trained practitioners.

How dermal fillers works

After a medical consultation including review of medications, allergies, and goals, the injector marks the treatment areas, cleans the skin, and injects the filler at the appropriate tissue plane using either a sharp needle or a blunt-tip cannula (cannulas reduce the risk of vascular occlusion and bruising in many areas). Treatment time is typically 15–45 minutes. Some swelling and minor bruising are normal for 1–7 days. The result is immediately visible but settles over 2 weeks.

Who is dermal fillers for?

Adults seeking volume restoration, contour refinement or lip enhancement, with realistic expectations and no contraindications (pregnancy, breastfeeding, active skin infection in the area, certain autoimmune conditions, recent dental work). Patients with a history of severe filler-related complications elsewhere should disclose this. Patients with body dysmorphic disorder are not appropriate candidates.

What drives the cost

Single-syringe lip filler typically $400–$700 in Australia. Cheek augmentation: $1,200–$2,500 (often 2 syringes). Full-face liquid rejuvenation: $3,000–$5,000+ over multiple syringes. Pricing is by syringe and varies with the product and the practitioner's experience. Be cautious of clinics offering pricing far below market — these often use lower-grade products, cut consultation time, or under-prescribe.

Recovery and downtime

Minimal downtime. Mild swelling and bruising for 1–7 days. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and very hot environments for 24 hours. Avoid massaging or pressing on the treated area for two weeks. Final result settles at two weeks.

Choosing a practitioner

Confirm AHPRA registration of both the prescriber and the injector. Ask about hyaluronidase availability and training in vascular-event management. Ask to see the practitioner's own results, ideally including 'before' and 'two weeks after' photos rather than 'immediately after' (which always look fuller from swelling). Look for a practice that does not use price as its primary marketing message.

Risk profile for dermal fillers

How the most-discussed risks for dermal fillers sit on a frequency-by-severity grid. All cosmetic procedures carry risk; the goal of this view is to help you ask better consent questions, not to dismiss any single complication as unlikely.

Frequency \\ Severity MildModerateSerious
Common
  • Bruising and swelling (common, short-lived)
 — —
Uncommon —
  • Asymmetry, lumps, or product palpability
  • Tyndall effect (a bluish discolouration when product is placed too superficially)
  • Delayed-onset nodules or granulomas (rare)
  • Allergic reaction (rare with HA fillers)
  • Migration of product over time
 —
Rare — —
  • Vascular occlusion — accidental injection into a blood vessel, which can cause skin necrosis or, rarely, blindness
  • Infection (rare)

Frequency and severity classifications are editorial summaries based on Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons consent literature and TGA / AHPRA guidance. Your surgeon should explain each risk individually as part of the formal informed-consent process — this matrix is a starting point for the conversation, not a substitute.

FAQ

Common questions

How long do fillers last?

Most hyaluronic-acid fillers last 6–18 months depending on the product, the area injected, and individual metabolism. Lip fillers typically last 6–9 months; cheek fillers 12–18 months. Permanent or semi-permanent fillers (silicone, calcium hydroxylapatite) are not appropriate for most cosmetic indications and carry materially higher complication rates.

What's the most serious risk?

Vascular occlusion — accidental injection into an artery — can cause skin necrosis or, in rare cases involving the supraorbital or angular vessels, permanent vision loss. The risk is mitigated by injector technique (aspiration, slow injection, low pressure), facial-anatomy training, and on-site availability of hyaluronidase to dissolve product if a vascular event is suspected. Confirm your injector has hyaluronidase available and knows how to use it.

Who can legally inject fillers?

Fillers (Schedule 4 prescription products) require prescription by an Australian medical practitioner or nurse practitioner. They can be administered by registered nurses, doctors, or medical practitioners working under appropriate prescription. Beauty therapists cannot legally inject fillers. Always confirm AHPRA registration of both the prescriber and the injector.

Filler dissolving — when is it appropriate?

Hyaluronidase dissolves HA fillers and is used either to manage complications (vascular event, lumps, dissatisfaction) or to reset over-treated faces. Many practitioners and patients are increasingly using dissolving as a corrective tool for over-filled appearances. Most clinics offer dissolving as a separate service.

Can I get fillers under 18?

From October 2024, AHPRA tightened guidelines so that cosmetic injectable procedures on patients under 18 should generally not be performed except for clear clinical indications (cleft lip and palate, severe scarring, etc.). Reputable Australian practices do not perform cosmetic injectables on minors.
