During your consultation with Dr. Laniewski

Your consultation with Dr. Laniewski will help him to understand what you want to achieve, and to put together a personalised plan that considers all of your individual needs.

Who is Eligible for The Treatment?
Treatment to add volume to the face will need to be performed on suitable candidates. Suitable candidates should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and not have certain medical conditions that may be contraindications to the treatment. During a consultation with Dr. Laniewski, you will discuss what is involved in the treatment in much further detail, as well as have your treatment area assessed. You will be able to discuss any individual factors that may influence your suitability for the treatment and determine if the treatment is an appropriate option for you. Assessing your suitability for the treatment beforehand will help to prevent side effects, and help you to decide if the treatment aligns with your goals. Suitable candidates should have realistic expectations for the treatment.
Are there Risks to The Treatment?
Dr. Laniewski will discuss the possible risks of the treatment during your consultation. He will also explain how these can be minimised and how they will need to be addressed in the case that they do occur.
The common risks associated with treatment to add volume to the face are bruising, redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, itching and rashes. Rare, more severe complications can occur, such as skin necrosis, stroke or blindness. The chances of this happening are extremely low and can be minimised by performing the treatment at an experienced clinic. Dr. Laniewski is an experienced and trained specialist surgeon, and although the procedure to add volume to the face is non-surgical, it will be important that it is performed by an individual who understands facial anatomy and is highly trained in the area.
Relatively common side effects should subside after your treatment, and can typically be managed by following your provided aftercare steps. Some side effects will need further attention to address, which Dr. Laniewski can discuss before your treatment.
