Filling Aesthetics
1 - What is Filling?
Filling aesthetics is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure applied to define facial features, eliminate volume loss and reduce wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers increase the water retention capacity of the skin, providing a younger, smoother and fuller appearance. With the aging process, subcutaneous fat tissues decrease and volume loss occurs on the face, this situation becomes especially evident in areas such as the cheeks, lips, chin and under the eyes. Filling procedure restores the lost volume in these areas, providing a more vibrant and youthful appearance. It can also be used to shape the nose, define the chin contour and reduce nasolabial (nose-lip lines) wrinkles. The fillers used today are biologically compatible and provide a natural integrity with the skin, which makes the procedure safe. When applied with the right technique, filling applications preserve the natural expression of the face and prevent an excessively bloated or artificial appearance. After the procedure, the person can instantly feel better by gaining a fuller and younger appearance.
2 - How is Filling Done?
The filler application is a fast and comfortable procedure performed by a specialist doctor. First, the area where the filler will be applied is analyzed and the most suitable filler material for the person's facial structure is selected. Before the procedure, the skin is numbed by applying creams containing local anesthetic to ensure the patient's comfort during the injection. The filler is injected under the skin using fine-tipped needles or cannulas, and then the area is lightly massaged to ensure that the fillers are distributed evenly. The procedure usually lasts between 15-30 minutes and patients can return to their daily lives immediately after the application. Mild redness, swelling or small bruises may be seen after the application, but these will disappear on their own within a few days. While the first effects are immediately noticeable, it may take 1-2 weeks for the filler to fully settle. Depending on the filler material used and the person's skin structure, the effect of the filler usually lasts between 6-18 months.
3 - Who is Filling Suitable For?
Filling aesthetics is an ideal application for people who want to highlight their facial features, eliminate volume loss and reduce wrinkles. It is especially suitable for individuals who experience volume loss due to the aging process, whose cheeks appear sunken, who want their lips to be fuller, or who want to make their facial contours more distinct. Individuals with genetically thin lip structure can achieve a more voluminous and aesthetic lip appearance with filler. Fillers also offer a non-surgical alternative for individuals who do not want to have a rhinoplasty but want to make minor corrections to the shape of their nose. People who want to define their jawline, eliminate under-eye hollowness, and reduce nasolabial lines can also benefit from filler applications. Fillers are not recommended for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and individuals with autoimmune diseases. Proper planning and application by a specialist doctor ensures a natural and aesthetic result.
4 - What is the Recovery Process After Fillers?
The recovery process after the filler procedure is quite fast and patients can return to their social lives on the same day. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may be observed after the procedure, but these effects usually disappear within 1-2 days. It is recommended to avoid excessive facial movements, hot environments (such as sauna, Turkish bath) and heavy exercises for the first 24 hours. It is important not to rub or press the injection area to ensure that the fillers are distributed evenly. It may take 1-2 weeks for the filler to fully settle and the most natural appearance is achieved at the end of this process. Depending on the filler material used and the person's skin structure, the effect of the fillers can last for 6-18 months. In order to increase permanence, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle, keep the skin moist and perform regular skin care. When applied with the right technique and regular care, the filler procedure provides a younger, livelier and balanced appearance on the face and meets the person's aesthetic expectations.
