Injectable Filler Locations & Procedures
Dermal fillers are primarily used to restore or add volume to the face and facial features. Some fillers do have uses in parts of the body such as the hands and buttocks. Though, most of the treatment areas are on the face. Below, let’s explore the most popular filler treatments.
Under eye filler, also known as tear trough filler, address under eye hollowing, bags, and darkness. Plumping this area can make you look more awake and younger. For many this can transform the entire face and even make them look more approachable. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the safest and most popular choice for this site. Conversely, semi-permanent fillers like Sculptra are not safe or advisable under the eyes.
An underrated procedure, temporal filler can achieve many cosmetic goals. For one, you can get the trending cat eye look with this type of filler. It also can lift the brows slightly and provide a more heart-shaped face. Frequently, temple filler fills in temples that have hollowed due to age, weight loss, or genetics. This can make patients look less gaunt, healthier, and younger.
Nose filler, or a non-surgical rhinoplasty, primarily treats the bridge of the nose. It strengthens the look of the bridge, straightens the shape of the bridge, and can improve the facial profile. Sometimes, fillers are injected into the tip of the nose to alter the shape or projection as well.
Filler is one of the top anti-aging procedures in the country. When BOTOX can no longer treat deeper wrinkles, filler is often the next step. While it is not commonly used for forehead wrinkles, it is often used for smiles lines, marionette lines, lip lines, and chin wrinkles. In these areas, it can smooth and plump out the wrinkles for a more youthful look. This is easy to combine with BOTOX for the ultimate non-surgical makeover.
When dermal fillers are injected into the cheeks, this can define the cheekbones and create a slimmer looking face. Many men and women today want a well contoured face, which can include prominent cheekbones. Cheek filler is a great option to achieve a contoured look. Furthermore, cheek filler can correct asymmetry, aging, and wrinkles.
In the 2010s, lip filler saw a surge in popularity. Due to many celebrities, thick, plump lips became a highly coveted feature that many are not naturally born with. Lip filler then became the top way to augment the lips, especially because it is non-surgical, safe, and quick. It continues to be the top filler procedure at The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery. Like the under eyes, hyaluronic acid fillers are the best option.
Chin filler is an alternative to a chin implant for people who need only minor corrections or do not want to commit to surgery yet. Using injectable fillers, an injector can increase the projection of the chin, improve facial symmetry, reduce the appearance of unwanted dimples or wrinkles, and strengthen the jawline. Therefore, in a quick fifteen-minute procedure, chin filler can provide fantastic results.
Jaw filler usually widens the jaw to make it look more chiseled and square. Some women may prefer a softer, rounder look which jaw filler can also achieve. Occasionally, dermal fillers are injected into the jawline, but this is fairly rare. Jaw filler requires a very specific type of patient with anatomy that would benefit from the injections.
Along with the face, the hands are one of the first places that show our age. The hands can lose fat and become gaunt and fragile looking. This is often due to changes in skin quality and elasticity and the natural fat loss that occurs with aging. An injector can use injectable fillers to plump up these areas for more youthful looking hands.
