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 restore the face’s youthful and balanced appearance by naturally replenishing these volume losses.

Nowadays, dermal filler treatments are not only used to fill in wrinkles but are also chosen to balance facial proportions, create contours and help the skin look more vibrant. When applied 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 Dermal Filler?

Dermal fillers are a non-surgical aesthetic procedure involving the injection of filler materials beneath the skin to address volume loss associated with ageing, define facial contours and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

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

Which Areas Can Skin Fillers Be Applied To?

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

The most commonly chosen areas for treatment are as follows:

• Lip fillers
• Cheek fillers
• Cheekbone enhancement
• Chin filler
• Jawline contouring
• Nose filler
• Under-eye brightening filler
• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Temporal region volume enhancement

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?

The filler procedure is carried out by injecting a controlled amount of filler material 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 simply add volume; thanks to their water-retaining properties, they also help to increase the skin’s moisture levels, contributing to 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 fillers are suitable for:

• Those with volume loss in the face,
• Those who want more defined facial features,
• Those wishing to shape their lips naturally,
• Those bothered by under-eye hollows,
• Do not wish to undergo surgery,
• and who are aiming for a younger and more dynamic appearance.

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

How is Dermal Filler Administered?

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 enhance comfort during the procedure.

The filler is injected into the target areas in a controlled manner using fine-tipped needles or a cannula. The duration of the procedure varies between 20 and 40 minutes on average, 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 the results are maintained and the healing process proceeds smoothly, certain recommendations should be followed.

• No pressure should be applied to the treatment area for the first 24 hours.
• Intense exercise should be avoided for a short period.
• You should avoid exposure to high temperatures, such as in saunas and Turkish baths.
• Alcohol consumption is not recommended on the first day.
• You should follow the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor.

Following these recommendations will help the filler settle more evenly in the treated area.

Comparison of Dermal Fillers with Other Rejuvenation Treatments

These treatments have been developed to address different needs. The most successful results are achieved through combined treatments planned in line with the individual’s facial structure and expectations.

Why Choose Dr Terziler for Dermal Fillers?

In a successful filler treatment, the product used is just as important as ensuring the treatment is administered at the correct anatomical points and in the correct quantities. Fillers applied in excess or without regard to facial proportions can result in an unnatural appearance.

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