9 Ways We Use Dermal Fillers on the Face
Are you self-conscious about your profile? Do you always take your photos from one “side?” Do you wish you could just tweak your chin, nose, or lips? Dermal fillers may be for you.
Let’s be real: we all have our own insecurities! The good news is that many of these little concerns can be fixed with the wonders of aesthetic medicine — dermal fillers in particular. These magical syringes have infinite uses and can contour and shape the face without the need for surgery.
Bougie Aesthetics uses 3 different types of dermal fillers: Hyaluronic Acid (like Restylane and Juvederm), Calcium Hydroxylapatite (like Radiesse), and Poly-L-lactic acid (like Sculptra). We use these industry-leading injectables because they are FDA-approved, safe, effective, and great for different reasons. Between these multiple brands, we can treat many aesthetic concerns.
Read on for 9 different ways we use fillers at Bougie Aesthetics for our patients in Fort Worth. Who knows — maybe we can tweak something you never knew was possible.
Which parts of the face can you enhance with dermal fillers?
Let’s get to the good stuff. Here, we’re breaking down the 9 areas that we most commonly treat.
Shape the Lips
No surprise here. Fillers are synonymous with lip injections and for good reason. Dermal fillers can add volume and plump the lips — or not! With expertly placed injections, many patients seek lip fillers to help correct symmetry, upturn the corners of the mouth, and help define the shape of the lips.
Define the Jawline
Men are hopping on the injectable bandwagon thanks to the jawline perks that fillers offer. Dermal fillers can be injected in the masseter muscles to help sharpen and define the jawline. If you want a more classic, manly face and profile, then dermal fillers are a great option.
Pronounce the Chin
Many of my patients are looking for a chin enhancement to correct an under projected chin. Usually, this is just the result of an underdeveloped and smoother jawline. Believe it or not, this often doesn’t even have to do with your body fat percentage. Flatter chins are just a facial structure that people are born with, but they can be drastically improved with just a little filler.
Plump Tear Troughs
A tear trough is the deep crease that forms between the lower eyelid and upper cheek. Many of us notice them because tear troughs commonly cast a shadow below the eye, resulting in a tired, aged appearance. Thankfully, fillers can plump out tear troughs to make the skin appear more smooth and youthful.
Smooth Necklace Lines
Noticing some creases on your neck? It’s normal and a common concern among maturing patients - especially women. With the lifting and smoothing effects of fillers, you can restore a more youthful neck without surgery. Check out this before and after of a neck lift!
Lift the Cheeks
As we age, we all lose collagen under the skin. The depletion of collagen results in wrinkles and sometimes sagging skin since we lose that natural, youthful volume. Many patients notice their cheeks deflate with age, but fillers can save the day. We treat and lift plenty of cheeks using dermal fillers.
Fill out Temple Hollows
Similar to cheeks, the temples can begin to hollow out as we get older (or for patients who lost weight!). Dermal fillers are an effective way to buff up the temples and smoothe this area of the face to your liking.
Diminish Nasal Labial Folds
Many patients dislike their nasal labial folds, or the wrinkles that form from the bottom corners of the nose to the outsides of the mouth. These are deeper wrinkles that neurotoxins like Botox can help treat, but fillers can help fill out.
Eliminate Smile Lines
Smile lines sound like a good time but it’s a concern that drives many patients to my office. These are the small parenthesis-looking lines that form outside your lips as you smile. Keep living your life the way that makes you smile and laugh plenty, and just try dermal fillers to smooth out their appearance.
