Dermal Fillers
in Dubai
Understand your options before you decide. Dermal fillers are injectable gels placed under the skin to add volume or shape to areas such as the lips, cheeks, chin and jawline. They are a medical procedure, so a proper assessment should come first. Dr Fouzia is a consultant family physician who offers a doctor-led consultation for dermal fillers in Dubai. She reviews your face, health and goals, explains how treatment works, the possible risks and what is realistic, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Areas that may be discussed.
How they work.
Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance the body also produces naturally. The gel is injected in small amounts to add volume or support. Effects are temporary and fade over time as the body absorbs the product.

Nothing is done until you have been fully informed and have given written consent.

What to be aware of.
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, lumps and asymmetry are common and usually settle. Less commonly, infection, allergic reaction or a blocked blood vessel can occur. A blocked vessel is rare but serious and needs urgent treatment, which can lead to skin damage or, very rarely, vision loss. Your doctor will explain these risks before you consent.
When fillers may not be suitable.
Treatment is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection or active skin condition at the site, certain autoimmune or bleeding conditions, a history of severe allergy, or while taking some medicines. Share your full health history so your clinician can assess what is appropriate.
Your safety comes first.
Seek urgent care immediately for severe pain, a white, blue or mottled patch of skin, sudden vision change, difficulty breathing or swelling of the face or throat after treatment. In the UAE, call 998 for an ambulance Contact the clinic first for any concern.
