Consultations for facial lines and wrinkles (Botox)

​

What can a consultation for facial lines and wrinkles cover?

​

Dr Ryan can assess concerns such as forehead lines, frown lines and lines around the eyes. He will look at how the lines change with expression, how they appear at rest and whether skin quality or volume changes contribute.

​

​

What is the difference between lines that appear when I move and lines that are visible at rest?

​

Expression lines appear or deepen when the underlying muscles move. Lines visible at rest can also reflect changes in the skin or underlying facial support. Both can occur together, which affects the options and the degree of change you might expect.

​

​

Do I need an examination before a treatment decision?

​

An initial conversation can help clarify your goals. An in-person assessment lets your doctor examine the area, check suitability and discuss the expected effects and risks before recommending a plan.

​

​

How do I arrange a routine review after treatment with Botox?

​

Follow the timing in your aftercare instructions. The clinic’s published routine review window for upper facial lines is 14–21 days after treatment. Ask the team about the timing for other areas or if you are unsure what to book. Contact the clinic about a review.

​

​

Which areas can be assessed for filler at Norwich Aesthetics Clinic?

The price list shows £225 for 0.5 mL and £325 for 1 mL of lip filler. The clinician will discuss which amount, if any, suits your lip shape and goals. Lip filler information · Clinic price list.

​

​

Can lip filler be used for subtle definition?

​

Lip filler can be considered for shape, definition, asymmetry or volume. The plan takes account of the starting shape, surrounding features and your preferences. Swelling can temporarily make lips look fuller than they will once settled.

​

​

When might cheek filler be considered?

​

Cheek filler may be considered when loss of volume in the front of the cheek contributes to shadowing, or when definition around the cheekbone is the main concern. The appropriate area depends on your anatomy. Cheek filler.

​

​

What is the difference between chin and jawline filler?

​

Chin filler can change the projection or shape of the chin. Jawline filler can change definition along the lower jaw. The clinician considers the side profile and the relationship between the chin, jaw and other features. Chin filler · Jawline filler.

​

​

What is tear trough filler, and who might be unsuitable?

​

Tear trough filler is used to address selected hollows between the lower eyelid and upper cheek. Prominent bags, puffiness or loose skin may make it unsuitable. The assessment includes the cheek because changes there can contribute to under-eye shadowing. Tear trough assessment.

​

​

How much does tear trough filler cost?

​

The clinic lists £325 for tear trough filler. An assessment is needed to establish whether the hollow itself, the cheek, skin quality or another factor is driving the concern. Tear trough filler · Clinic price list.

​

​

Can filler treat dark circles under the eyes?

​

Filler may soften a shadow caused by a hollow in a suitable patient. Dark circles can also reflect pigmentation, visible blood vessels, thin skin or bags, so identifying the cause comes first. The appropriate option may be a different treatment or no treatment.

​

What are nasolabial folds and marionette lines?

​

Nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose towards the mouth. Marionette lines run down from the corners of the mouth. Both can reflect changes in surrounding volume and support, so the assessment may extend beyond the visible fold. Nasolabial folds · Marionette lines.

​

​

What is perioral rejuvenation?

​

Perioral rejuvenation is a plan for the area around the mouth. Dr Ryan may assess upper-lip lines, nasolabial folds and marionette lines together. A plan for one specific line may be more appropriate when the concern is localised. Perioral rejuvenation · Perioral line filler.

​

​

What can non-surgical rhinoplasty change?

​

Non-surgical rhinoplasty uses filler to adjust selected nose contours by adding volume. It cannot reduce the size of the nose or correct a breathing problem. The nose is a higher-risk injection area, and suitability and alternatives should be discussed in person. Non-surgical rhinoplasty.

​

​

How long does dermal filler last?

​

Duration depends on the product, placement, treated area and your individual response. Ask for a range for the specific area and product proposed at your consultation. The clinician can assess any remaining filler before recommending further treatment.

​

What are the risks of dermal filler?

​

Swelling, bruising and tenderness can occur. Other risks include infection, lumps and asymmetry. A blocked blood vessel is a serious complication that can injure skin and, in rare cases, affect vision. Ask your clinician about risks specific to the area and what to do if you develop symptoms. NHS advice on choosing a practitioner.

​

​

Can all fillers be dissolved?

​

Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with a specific enzyme after clinical assessment. Other products, including PLLA, cannot be dissolved in the same way. Tell the clinician the product and date of any previous treatment if you know them.

​

​

​

Full face rejuvenation

​

What is full face rejuvenation?

​

Full face rejuvenation is an individual treatment plan based on how the features work together. The assessment may cover volume loss, changes in facial support, contours and skin quality, with the aim of deciding which areas, if any, would benefit from treatment. Full face rejuvenation.

​

​

Does full face rejuvenation mean treating every area?

​

The clinician prioritises the areas most relevant to your concerns. For example, assessing cheek support may help explain a shadow or fold further down the face. Some areas may be left untreated.

​

​

Can full face rejuvenation be done in stages?

​

Yes. The clinic may plan one appointment or several, depending on the areas, products and response. Staging can give you and your clinician time to see how an initial change settles before deciding on further treatment.

​

​

How much does full face rejuvenation cost?

​

The full face rejuvenation page lists filler at £295 for the first 1 mL and £265 per additional 1 mL. Your total depends on which areas are treated and the amount agreed. Ask Dr Ryan for an estimate for your plan. Full face rejuvenation and fees.

​

​

How do polynucleotides differ from tear trough filler?

​

​

Do polynucleotides help all types of under-eye dark circles?

​

Any improvement depends on what causes the dark appearance. Pigmentation, shadowing, visible blood vessels and puffiness can look similar. An assessment helps establish whether changing skin quality is likely to make a meaningful difference.
