If you’re noticing lines, wrinkles, or volume loss, Afzal Clinics offers nonsurgical solutions that deliver beautiful, natural results. Dr. Kamran Afzal and his skilled team provide a wide range of filler treatments, including Restylane® and Juvéderm®, to restore youthful contours and smooth skin, without the need for surgery or downtime
Under-Eye Filler for Hollowness
One of Dr. Afzal’s specialties is treating under-eye hollowness using Restylane-L or Juvéderm Volbella. He chooses the product based on the patient’s anatomy and goals. Results typically last 1.5 to 2 years. With over a decade of experience, Dr. Afzal uses both direct injection and cannula techniques to ensure safe, natural-looking outcomes with minimal bruising or swelling.
Full Facial Balancing for Harmonized Features
Dr. Afzal offers full facial balancing using 4 to 6 types of filler to improve symmetry and reduce facial shadows. He treats the under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines using a combination of direct injection, cannulas, and the Fern technique for fine lines. The goal is to lift and contour the face while maintaining a soft, natural appearance.
Cheek Filler for Mid-Face Volume
Cheek filler is used to restore volume loss and lift the mid-face. Dr. Afzal prefers Voluma and Restylane Lyft for their structure and longevity. These fillers help reduce the appearance of sagging and also support surrounding areas, such as the under-eye and nasolabial folds. Treatment is customized using a cannula or needle for ideal placement and lift.
Jawline Filler for Sculpted Definition
A patient favorite, jawline filler is used to sharpen the transition between the cheek and neck. Dr. Afzal uses a mix of Volux and Voluma to create clean, defined angles. This treatment is especially powerful for patients seeking a more youthful, structured profile with minimal downtime.
Lip Filler for Shape, Volume, and Hydration
Lips are one of the most requested areas for filler. Dr. Afzal personalizes each treatment—using Volbella for hydration, Restylane Refyne for first-time patients, and JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus or Restylane® Kysse for volume and shape. He also treats vertical lines near the lips and nasolabial folds using specialized techniques for a seamless finish.
Body Filler for Crepey Skin
Dr. Afzal uses hyperdilute Radiesse to treat fine lines and crepey skin in the neck, abdomen, and thighs. This is often paired with monothreads to improve skin tone and texture non-surgically.
Benefits of Injectable Fillers for Face and Body
- Restored Volume: Fillers can replace volume lost due to aging, helping to lift and contour the face naturally.
- Smoothed Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Strategic filler placement helps soften expression lines and static wrinkles without altering your natural look.
- Enhanced Facial Symmetry: Full facial balancing techniques bring harmony to your features by addressing under-eye hollowness, cheek structure, jawline definition, and more.
- Hydrated, Plumper Lips: Customized lip filler treatments improve volume, shape, and hydration, enhancing your overall appearance.

- Minimally Invasive with Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their daily routine immediately, making fillers a convenient option for facial and body rejuvenation.

FAQ's
How long do the results from fillers last?
The results from injectable fillers typically last from several months to two years, depending on the area treated and the specific product used. For example, under-eye filler results can last up to 1.5 to 2 years, while cheek filler may last 12 to 18 months. Dr. Afzal will help you understand what to expect during your consultation.
Are filler injections painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during injectable treatments. Dr. Afzal uses techniques to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible, and numbing agents can be applied to reduce any discomfort.
What is the recovery time after a filler treatment?
Injectable therapies are minimally invasive and generally require little to no recovery time. Most people can get back to their usual activities right after their session. While you might experience slight swelling or bruising, these effects usually subside within a few days.
Can I combine fillers with other treatments?
Many patients combine fillers with other nonsurgical treatments, such as Botox, PDO threads, or Sculptra, for comprehensive results. Dr. Afzal will recommend the best combination of treatments based on your goals and anatomy.
Are the results from facial fillers permanent?
While the results are long-lasting, they are not permanent. Fillers break down naturally over time, and touch-up treatments can help maintain the desired effects.
Is there a risk of complications with injectable fillers?
Dr. Afzal is highly experienced in administering fillers and uses precise techniques to minimize risks. While side effects are rare, possible issues include temporary bruising or swelling. The safety and quality of your treatment are always Dr. Afzal’s top priority.
