Which Filler Where

December 14, 2019

Dermal fillers are exceptionally powerful at adding volume to those lines and wrinkles that are causing your face to look older than it should or that are causing you grief or embarrassment in public. However, with the wide variety of dermal fillers on the market today, you may be wondering which ones will work best for your needs. After all, choosing the right filler will help you achieve gorgeous results, limit any possible side effects, and ensure that your results will last as long as possible.

Common Areas to Target with Dermal Fillers

The areas around the mouth and nose are some of those that are most frequently treated at the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique in Newport Beach. These lines are sometimes referred to as smile lines, or they may be called marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Whatever term you may use to refer to them, these lines require flexible gels because of how often this area moves when talking or making facial expressions. Juvederm Vollure XC and Restylane Refyne are two of the best choices here.

If you want to treat under-eye bags and general loss of volume, Restylane Silk or Juvederm Ultra XC are the best options because they are not too thin and will not cause swelling in the area. Instead, they fill in the area and camouflage the lack of collagen here.

Other Cosmetic Procedures Using Dermal Fillers

Another common complaint with aging is a lack of fullness in the cheeks. Hollowed-out areas can be successfully treated with Juvederm Voluma XC or Restylane Lyft, which are less flexible gel fillers that provide added structure here. Sculptra is another good choice. Finally, some individuals are looking for fillers for their lips in order to get rid of the thinness that has plagued them for years thanks to their genetics or to replace volume that has been lost with aging. For this area, Juvederm Ultra XC and Volbella XC as well as Restylane Silk and Refyne provide great results, promoting improved volume and structure throughout the lips while creating a very natural shape.
