Filler Applications for Aesthetic and Functional Purposes
Filler procedures are minimally invasive aesthetic treatments applied to restore volume loss caused by aging, enhance facial contours, and improve overall appearance. Fillers with various ingredients, especially hyaluronic acid, aim to provide a youthful, dynamic, and balanced look to both facial and body areas.
Lip Fillers: Fullness and Contour Support
Lip filler procedures are non-surgical aesthetic methods preferred to enhance lip contours, add volume, and correct asymmetries. The procedure often delivers successful and satisfying results in young individuals with naturally thin lips. However, with aging, lip volume may decrease. In such cases, excessive use of fillers can weigh down the lips, creating a downward appearance that may make the person look older. Lip fillers should be planned according to the person’s facial proportions, expressions, and age, aiming for a natural, balanced, and subtle look. Therefore, the procedure should be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
Cheekbone (Midface) Fillers: Youthful Appearance and Contour Support
Cheekbone fillers add volume to the upper cheeks and sides of the face, creating a subtle lifting effect. This supports areas prone to sagging and results in a more dynamic facial expression. At the same time, this procedure emphasizes the "youthful triangle," where the lower face appears slimmer and the upper face more defined. By addressing hollowness and volume loss in the cheek area, the face regains a lively, balanced, and youthful look. The treatment should be tailored to the individual’s anatomy and volume needs, maintaining natural lines and proportions. It must be performed by a specialist experienced in facial aesthetics.
Nasolabial Fillers: Softening Smile Lines
Nasolabial folds are expression lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth, which deepen with age. Their prominence can make the face appear tired or older. Nasolabial filler applications involve injecting hyaluronic acid-based fillers beneath these lines, softening them and providing a fresher, more balanced look. Personalized evaluation is essential, as in some cases, treatment is more effective when combined with volume support in the cheekbone area. Therefore, nasolabial fillers are often performed together with cheek fillers for more natural and lasting results. The procedure should be planned and performed by an expert with knowledge of facial anatomy.
Temple Fillers: Balancing Facial Contours
Over time, hollowing of the temples can disrupt facial harmony. Temple fillers restore volume in this area, creating a more balanced profile and reducing signs of aging.
Biostimulatory Fillers: Supportive Treatment for Skin Quality
Nipple Fillers: Aesthetic Balance and Shape Support
Inward retraction, volume loss, or lack of projection in the nipple area, whether due to congenital reasons or aesthetic concerns, can be improved with filler applications. This procedure is a non-surgical approach aimed at correcting nipple appearance and restoring projection balance. Nipple fillers may also be used after nipple reconstruction following breast cancer surgery, to add volume and enhance contour definition. The application should be personalized, taking into account the patient’s skin structure, reconstruction history, and aesthetic expectations, and must be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon.
