If you are looking for dermal fillers near Solihull and want them administered by a registered nurse in a CQC-registered clinical setting, not a beauty salon or non-medical environment, DG Medical Aesthetics is one of a very small number of clinics in the West Midlands that meets that standard.
We are based in Yardley, Birmingham, just 15 to 20 minutes from Solihull town centre via the A45 Coventry Road. Every dermal filler treatment at our clinic is assessed and administered by Donna Gibson and Kerry Gibson-Harris, both registered nurses with over 25 years of combined NHS and advanced aesthetic clinical experience.
We do not use non-clinical staff for injectable treatments, and we do not carry out same-day filler treatments on new patients.
The cheeks are often the first area of the face to show volume loss. As the facial fat pads thin and descend, the midface flattens, nasolabial folds deepen, and the overall structure of the face begins to shift from a youthful triangular shape toward a heavier, more rectangular one. Cheek filler restores volume and projection to the midface, not to create pronounced or artificial cheekbones, but to rebuild the foundational support that the overlying skin depends on.
When placed correctly by a clinician with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, cheek filler lifts and supports the surrounding tissue, softening nasolabial folds and improving jawline definition as secondary effects. At DG Medical Aesthetics, cheek augmentation always begins with a full facial analysis using our Observe520X clinical imaging system, which assesses tissue distribution and structural change at a level the naked eye cannot detect.

Lip filler is one of the most frequently requested treatments we see, and one of the most frequently done badly. Overfilled, disproportionate, or unnaturally shaped lips are almost always the result of poor technique, excessive product volume, or disregard for the patient's individual anatomy. Our approach is the opposite.
We work from the principle that the goal of lip filler is to restore, to bring the lips back toward their original shape and volume, or to add subtle, proportional definition where nature has provided less. We never aim for a specific trend or look. We assess your lip shape, your facial proportions, and your natural anatomy, and we work with those parameters. Results should be indistinguishable from natural lips, fuller, more defined, but unequivocally yours.
We use fine-bore cannulas where appropriate to minimise bruising and swelling, and we never exceed what your anatomy can support comfortably.

A well-defined jawline and chin are among the clearest structural indicators of facial youth. As collagen and bone density decline with age, the jaw softens, jowling develops, and the lower face loses its clean definition. Jawline filler addresses this by reinforcing the mandibular border, restoring structure and definition rather than simply filling a wrinkle.
Chin filler is frequently used in combination with jawline treatment to improve facial proportions: projecting and defining the chin provides a natural counterbalance to the midface and can soften the appearance of a prominent nose or a receding jawline without any surgical intervention.
Both treatments require a precise understanding of the underlying anatomy, particularly the course of the facial artery and mental nerve. At DG Medical Aesthetics, all jawline and chin filler is administered by registered nurses who trained and worked in clinical environments where anatomical precision is non-negotiable.
Nasolabial folds, the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and marionette lines, running from the mouth corners toward the chin, are not simply wrinkles. They are structural changes caused by the descent of the midface fat pads and the loss of underlying skeletal support. Treating them with filler placed directly into the fold often produces a heavy, plugged appearance.
Our approach treats the cause rather than the symptom. Where midface volume loss is driving nasolabial folds, we address that volume loss first, often with cheek support, and use filler in the folds themselves conservatively if residual depth remains. This produces a result that looks naturally refreshed rather than obviously treated.

The tear trough, the groove between the lower eyelid and the cheek, is one of the most technically demanding areas to treat with filler, and one of the most commonly treated incorrectly. Placed too superficially, hyaluronic acid in this area produces a blue-grey discolouration (the Tyndall effect); placed incorrectly, it can migrate and worsen the appearance it was intended to improve.
We assess tear trough concerns carefully at consultation and do not automatically recommend filler as the solution. In many patients, midface volume support addresses the shadowing without any product being placed near the eye at all. Where tear trough filler is appropriate, we use very small volumes of a low-viscosity product, placed at the correct depth, using cannula technique to minimise vascular risk.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made predominantly from hyaluronic acid, a molecule produced naturally by the body that attracts and retains water within the skin's tissue. When hyaluronic acid levels decline with age, the face loses volume, structure, and definition. Dermal fillers restore this by delivering hyaluronic acid directly to the target area, where it integrates with the surrounding tissue to add volume, support structure, and smooth the overlying skin.
The results are visible immediately and build slightly over the following two weeks as the product settles and any minor swelling resolves. Because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible and reversible, it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed, it is considered the gold standard injectable filler material in medical aesthetics.
At DG Medical Aesthetics, we use only premium, prescription-only hyaluronic acid products sourced from regulated UK pharmacies, exclusively world-renowned brands including Juvederm and Revanesse, both rigorously tested, FDA-approved, and recognised globally for their smooth tissue integration and reliable, long-lasting results. We do not use cheap or unregulated filler products.
Subtle transformations, beautifully captured
Dermal fillers are often misunderstood as a tool simply for filling lines. In reality, modern filler treatments are about restoration, support, and the precise rebalancing of facial harmony. If you have noticed that you look more tired than you feel, it is likely due to the natural structural changes that occur as we age, changes that skincare alone cannot address.
Facial ageing is a multi-layered process that goes far beyond the surface of the skin. Understanding these changes explains why a holistic, anatomy-led approach to filler treatment is so effective.
Bone resorption - as we age, we lose bone density across the face. This reduces the structural scaffolding that holds the soft tissues in place, causing the overall architecture of the face to shift.
Fat pad migration - the youthful, plump fat pads of the face begin to shrink and reposition downward. This shift often leads to a hollowed appearance under the eyes, flattening of the cheeks, and the formation of jowls.
Skin thinning - collagen and elastin production slows progressively from the mid-twenties onward, resulting in skin that is thinner, less resilient, and less able to resist the effects of gravity.
Together, these factors produce a loss of the underlying support that the face depends on. Dermal fillers, when placed correctly by a clinician with a thorough understanding of facial anatomy, are designed to replace that lost structural foundation, not to fill a line, but to restore the support that allows the face to look as it once did.
We believe that the best aesthetic work is the kind that no one can identify as aesthetic work. Our approach is rooted in medical expertise, a deep understanding of facial anatomy, and a commitment to results that look like a well-rested, naturally refreshed version of you, not a treated one.
Specialised medical training - Donna and Kerry are highly specialist trained, fully insured, independent nurse prescribers. Every injection is placed with anatomical precision by a qualified medical professional who trained and practised in clinical NHS environments before moving into aesthetic medicine.
The whole-face approach - we do not treat a single line or area in isolation. We assess the face as a complete structure, understanding how changes in one area affect the balance and appearance of everything around it. By addressing facial harmony rather than individual concerns, our results are consistently balanced and natural.
Product quality - we exclusively use Juvederm and Revanesse, two of the world's most clinically established hyaluronic acid filler ranges. Both are sourced from regulated UK pharmacies, MHRA-approved, and have extensive clinical safety data. We do not compromise on product quality.
Consultation Your first appointment is a full clinical consultation, not a sales meeting. We take a detailed medical history, perform a facial analysis using the Observe520X system, discuss your concerns and what you want to achieve, and explain the treatment options, realistic outcomes, costs, and any relevant risks. We do not carry out injectable treatments on the same day as a new patient consultation.
The Treatment Filler treatments are carried out using fine needles or cannulas depending on the area and technique required. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment. Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes. Results are visible immediately, with the final outcome settling over 10 to 14 days.
Downtime Bruising and swelling are the most common side effects and typically resolve within 3 to 7 days. Some areas, particularly the lips and tear trough, carry a higher likelihood of bruising. We advise all patients to avoid their filler appointment within two weeks of any significant social event.
Follow-Up We review all filler patients at two weeks post-treatment. This appointment is included in the treatment cost and allows us to assess the result, add product conservatively if appropriate, and confirm everything has settled correctly.

The UK aesthetics sector is not uniformly regulated. Many providers offering dermal fillers operate without any clinical governance framework, no registration, no clinical oversight, and no requirement to meet the standards expected in medical settings. This matters because dermal filler complications, including vascular occlusion, can cause serious and permanent harm if not identified and managed by a clinician who knows what they are looking at.
DG Medical Aesthetics holds CQC registration, the same regulatory body that oversees NHS hospitals and GP surgeries. Our clinical environment, documentation standards, infection control protocols, and patient care pathways are inspected and regulated. We hold emergency hyaluronidase on-site at all times, and our nurses are trained in the recognition and management of vascular complications.
When you choose a CQC-registered clinic for dermal fillers near Solihull, you are choosing a provider that has been independently assessed and verified, not simply one that has completed a weekend course.
Explore our most frequently asked questions about natural aesthetics, safety, and our nurse-led approach. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Yes. DG Medical Aesthetics offers a full range of dermal filler treatments from our CQC-registered, nurse-led clinic in Yardley, Birmingham — approximately 15 to 20 minutes from Solihull town centre via the A45 Coventry Road.
Pricing is discussed at your consultation and depends on the area being treated, the amount of product required, and whether a combination approach is appropriate. We do not list fixed prices online because individual anatomy varies considerably and we refuse to recommend a set volume before assessing you clinically. There are no hidden fees.
This depends on the area treated, the product used, and individual factors including metabolism and lifestyle. As a general guide: lip fillers typically last 6 to 9 months; cheek and jawline fillers 12 to 18 months; nasolabial and marionette lines 9 to 12 months. Longevity tends to increase with repeat treatments as the tissue response improves.
We apply topical anaesthetic cream before every filler treatment. Most patients find it well-tolerated. The lips are the most sensitive area; most patients describe the sensation there as mild to moderate discomfort rather than pain.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme if needed — whether due to a complication, an outcome you are unhappy with, or simply a change in preference. We hold hyaluronidase on-site at all times and are trained in its use. This reversibility is one of the key reasons hyaluronic acid is considered the safest filler material available.
They treat different concerns. Botox (botulinum toxin) is a muscle relaxant used to soften dynamic lines caused by movement — forehead lines, crow's feet, frown lines. Dermal filler adds volume and structure to areas where tissue has been lost. They are complementary treatments and many patients benefit from both, but they are not interchangeable.
Profhilo does not add volume or change the shape of the face. It is a bio-remodelling treatment that improves skin quality — hydration, firmness, and texture — by stimulating collagen and elastin from within. Dermal filler adds volume and structure to specific areas. Many patients benefit from both treatments, addressing skin quality and structural volume loss simultaneously. See our Profhilo page →
Yes, always. We do not carry out filler treatments at a patient's first visit. A full clinical consultation and skin analysis is required before any treatment recommendation is made. This is not a formality — it is how we ensure every treatment we carry out is appropriate for that individual patient.
Yes. DG Medical Aesthetics holds full CQC registration, making us one of a small number of aesthetic clinics in the West Midlands to operate under the same regulatory framework as NHS facilities. This means our clinical standards, documentation, and patient care pathways are independently verified.
