Skin Filler

As we age, the skin does not merely lose its elasticity; it also begins to lose volume. The loss of fullness in the cheeks, the deepening of the nasolabial folds, the thinning of the lips and the loss of definition in the jawline can all contribute to the face appearing more tired and aged. Dermal fillers are one of the modern medical aesthetic treatments designed to naturally restore the face’s youthful and balanced appearance by addressing these volume losses.

Nowadays, dermal fillers are not only used to fill in wrinkles; they are also chosen to balance facial proportions, create contours and help the skin look more radiant. When administered using the correct technique, a fresher, more dynamic and aesthetically pleasing appearance can be achieved without altering the face’s natural expression.

At Dr Terziler’s Clinic, dermal filler treatments are planned on an individual basis following a detailed analysis of facial anatomy. The aim is to achieve the most suitable and natural result for the individual’s facial structure, rather than creating standardised templates.

What is a dermal filler?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure in which filler materials are injected under the skin to restore volume lost due to ageing, define facial contours and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid, one of the most commonly used dermal fillers, is a molecule found naturally in the skin that has a high water-retention capacity. As a result, whilst adding volume to the treated area, it also helps to maintain the skin’s moisture balance, contributing to a healthier and more radiant appearance.

In Which Areas Can Dermal Fillers Be Applied?

Dermal fillers can be used to achieve aesthetic balance in many different areas of the face.

The most common areas of application are as follows:

• Lip fillers
• Cheek fillers
• Cheekbone enhancement
• Jaw filler
• Jawline contouring
• Nose filler
• Under-eye light filler
• Nasolabial lines
• Marionette lines
• Volumising the temple area

The amount of filler to be used and the application technique for each area are determined according to the individual’s facial structure and aesthetic expectations.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Filler treatment is carried out by injecting a controlled amount of filler into areas where volume has been lost. This supports sunken areas, defines facial contours and gives the skin a plumper appearance.

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers do more than just add volume; thanks to their water-retaining properties, they also help to increase the skin’s moisture levels, resulting in a more radiant and healthy appearance.

The aim of a properly planned dermal filler treatment is not to alter the face, but to create a more youthful and balanced appearance whilst preserving the individual’s natural facial proportions.

The Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Who Is Suitable for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal filler;

• People with volume loss in the face,
• For those who want more defined facial features,
• For those who want to shape their lips naturally,
• Those who are bothered by under-eye hollows,
• Who do not wish to undergo surgery,
• This treatment is suitable for those seeking a younger and more vibrant appearance.

A detailed assessment is carried out prior to the procedure to draw up a treatment plan best suited to the individual’s facial structure.

How Is a Dermal Filler Injected?

Before the procedure, the areas to be treated are identified and the facial anatomy is assessed in detail. Where necessary, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to make the procedure more comfortable.

The filler is applied in a controlled manner to the target areas using fine-tipped needles or a cannula. The duration of the procedure varies on average between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the number of areas to be treated.

Results can be seen immediately after the treatment. As any slight swelling that may occur in the first few days subsides, the final appearance of the filler becomes more clearly visible.

What Should You Bear in Mind After a Dermal Filler Treatment?

To ensure that the results achieved following the procedure are maintained and that the recovery process progresses smoothly, certain recommendations should be followed.

• No pressure should be applied to the treatment area for the first 24 hours.
• You should avoid strenuous exercise for a short while.
• You should avoid exposure to high temperatures, such as in saunas and Turkish baths.
• Alcohol consumption is not recommended on the first day.
• The care instructions recommended by the doctor must be followed.

Following these recommendations will help ensure that the filler settles more evenly in the treated area.

A Comparison of Dermal Fillers with Other Rejuvenation Treatments

These treatments have been developed to address different needs. The best results are achieved through combined treatments tailored to the individual’s facial structure and expectations.

Why Choose Dr Terziler for Dermal Fillers?

In a successful dermal filler treatment, it is just as important to apply the product to the correct anatomical points and in the correct amount as it is to use the right product. Fillers applied in excess or without taking facial proportions into account can result in an unnatural appearance.

At Dr Terziler’s Clinic, every patient is assessed in detail in terms of facial proportions, skin texture and signs of ageing. The aim is not to enhance a single area, but to create an aesthetic balance across all the contours of the face. Where necessary, dermal filler treatments are planned in conjunction with Botox, skin rejuvenation, mesotherapy and collagen-boosting treatments to achieve more natural and long-lasting results.
