Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments used to add volume, enhance contour, and refine facial balance. In gender-affirming care, fillers can be used to subtly adjust specific features in line with an individual’s goals, whilst preserving natural expression and movement.
For example, fillers may be used to soften or enhance areas such as the cheeks, lips, or jawline in facial feminisation, or to add definition and structure to features such as the jaw, chin, or temples in facial masculinisation.
