IT'S well-known that facial fillers are a great way to restore lost facial volume and enhance facial features: they are a popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
But where else can this versatile treatment option benefit you beyond the common areas, such as the lips? What are the lesser-known areas for facial fillers? What are the best areas for fillers, in general, beyond the face? And how important is a balanced approach for better outcomes?
In this blog post, you’ll learn the top areas for fillers, including those you probably didn’t know.
Common Areas for Fillers
1. Lips
Lips are a popular target for fillers, and for good reason. Whether you’ve always had thin lips or they’ve lost their youthful plumpness over time, fillers offer a solution. They can add volume for a fuller pout, smooth out fine lines that come with age, and even create a more symmetrical appearance.
The key, however, is to maintain a natural look. A subtle touch goes a long way. The goal is to enhance your own beauty, not create a completely different look.
2. Cheeks
Some apprehension might be felt regarding fillers for the cheeks because a little can go a long way. Will the results look natural and not overly pronounced?
But with personalized consultation, careful planning and precise injection techniques, cheek fillers enhance your facial contours subtly and harmoniously.
By adding a gentle lift and definition, fillers can create a more youthful and balanced overall appearance.
3. Nose
Fillers are a fantastic alternative to surgical nose jobs. They offer a noninvasive solution to reshape and refine the nose.
Nose filler is often injected into the bridge or tip of the nose to achieve subtle changes in contour and symmetry. This approach allows individuals to address minor imperfections or asymmetries without the need for surgery, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.
4. Under Eyes
With its delicateness, the skin under the eye is prone to early signs of aging and plays a significant role in our overall expression. As we lose collagen and elasticity, hollowness develops, emphasizing wrinkles. We might feel self-conscious about tired-looking eyes despite being well-rested, leading to a dip in confidence or a desire to cover them up with makeup.
By strategically injecting small amounts of filler into this area, you can restore lost volume and smoothen out wrinkles, making you look more refreshed and awake. Remember that fillers can’t completely erase dark circles caused by pigmentation.
5. Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds, often called smile lines or laugh lines, are those creases that run from the corner of your nose to the corners of your mouth. While these lines are a natural part of facial expression, they can become more noticeable with age as we lose overall facial volume and skin elasticity diminishes.
The problem with deeper nasolabial folds is that they can cast shadows on our faces, making us look older or even grumpy, even when we’re feeling happy. This can be frustrating because these lines don’t always reflect our feelings.
You can add volume by using fillers for smile lines. These lift the surrounding skin, softening the appearance of the folds and creating a smoother and more youthful look.
6. Marionette Lines
Ever notice those little lines that run vertically from the corner of the mouth down towards the chin? Those are marionette lines.
At the area lower to the nasolabial folds, marionette lines run vertically from the corners of the mouth down towards the chin.
Fillers help to soften the appearance of these lines.
Surprising Areas for Fillers You Might Not Know
- Jawline: Fillers can contour and define the jawline, creating a more sculpted and youthful appearance. This helps to address a lack of definition or sagging in the jaw area.
- Glabella: This region is a popular injection site for neuromodulators but less for fillers. Fillers injected into the glabella, the area between the eyebrows and above the nose, can smooth out static frown lines and creases. By filling in these lines, fillers help to achieve a more relaxed look.
- Temples: Fillers can be used to add volume to hollow temples, creating a more balanced and harmonious facial profile. This can help to soften a gaunt or aged appearance.
- Hands: Fillers injected into the back of the hands can restore volume and reduce the appearance of veins and tendons, rejuvenating the hands for a more youthful and refreshed look. Of course, this requires a skilled injector due to the delicate nature of the area and the presence of nerves.
- Buttocks: Fillers, particularly those made of bio-stimulators, can be strategically injected into the buttocks to enhance volume and shape, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional butt augmentation procedures like implants.
