According to the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, nearly 18 million dermal filler procedures are performed yearly. As the trend indicates increasing this number, now is the best time to get one.
Dermal fillers are an excellent, non-surgical option to alleviate wrinkles and fine lines, add volume to your skin, and more. Knowing the best areas of your face to get dermal fillers can allow you to get the most out of revitalizing and enhancing your skin.
Where Dermal Fillers Are Most Effective
Dermal fillers are best utilized wherever early signs of aging may be present.
Face
Dermal fillers are a fantastic option to address fine lines and wrinkles anywhere on the face, from the forehead to the cheeks, restoring fullness and vibrancy.
Lips
A fantastic option for thin lips or lips that have lost their volume is to use dermal fillers to plump them up.
‘Baggy’ Eyes
Sunken eyes or a hallowed appearance under the eyes can be readily addressed with dermal fillers. This allows you to have a refreshed, youthful look.
The Jaw
As you age, your jaw area may exhibit signs of aging due to muscle loss, thinning skin, and decreased collagen production. Dermal fillers add volume to the jaw, which provides contouring. For a sharper jawline, dermal fillers help tremendously.
The Nose
Many people mistakenly believe that the nose continues to grow as they age; however, gravity and weakening collagen stretch the nose out, giving it a larger appearance.
Dermal fillers can offer a non-surgical rhinoplasty solution that can correct imperfections, address bumps, and lift the nasal tip.
When Not to Use Dermal Fillers
Though dermal fillers can address virtually any sign of aging to give a natural-looking, youthful appearance for many people, there are some instances where dermal fillers may not be recommended.
A dermal filler injection may not be appropriate if you’ve been fighting off an infection or have a medical condition, such as a bleeding disorder.
In other instances, advanced signs of aging may not be effectively addressed with dermal fillers. Instead, you may benefit from surgical interventions such as a face, brow, or neck lift.
Ensure you speak to your doctor to understand if dermal fillers are right for you.
