Dermal Filler Treatment Areas

Dermal fillers work differently from wrinkle relaxers.

Instead of reducing muscle activity, hyaluronic acid fillers are used to add or restore volume, provide structural support, and soften certain facial wrinkles and folds.

Treatment recommendations depend on the specific filler being used, its approved indications, your anatomy, and your desired result.

Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are the lines that extend from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth.

These folds can become more noticeable as facial volume and skin structure change over time.

Hyaluronic acid dermal filler may be used to soften moderate to severe facial folds while preserving normal facial expression.

Both Evolysse™ and Revanesse® Versa™ may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan for appropriate patients.

Lips

For patients seeking improved lip volume, shape, symmetry, or definition, dermal filler may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan.

Lip treatment does not have to mean dramatically larger lips.

Depending on your goals, treatment may focus on:

  • Subtle volume

  • Lip definition

  • Improved symmetry

  • Cupid's bow definition

  • Upper-to-lower lip balance

  • Restoring volume that has changed with age

Our approach emphasizes proportion and natural-looking results rather than creating the same lip shape for every patient.

The specific filler selected will depend on your anatomy, desired result, and appropriate product use.

Lines Around the Mouth

Changes in volume, skin quality, and repetitive movement can contribute to lines around the mouth.

Depending on the cause of the lines, treatment may involve filler, wrinkle relaxer, PRP, another aesthetic treatment, or a combination of approaches.

Treating the underlying cause rather than simply “filling a line” can often create a more balanced result.

Marionette Area

Lines extending downward from the corners of the mouth toward the chin can contribute to a tired, sad, or downward appearance.

Depending on facial anatomy and the cause of the folds, dermal filler may be considered as part of a treatment plan to soften this area.

Facial Balancing

Sometimes the area that bothers you is not necessarily the area that should be treated first.

Facial balancing looks at the relationship between multiple facial features rather than treating each feature in isolation.

We consider:

  • Facial proportions

  • Symmetry

  • Existing volume

  • Chin projection

  • Lip proportions

  • Lower-face structure

  • Soft-tissue support

  • Facial movement

If treatment is appropriate, we will explain where we believe injectable treatment could create the most natural improvement and why.

Our goal is balance—not overcorrection.

A Note About Treatment Areas

Some injectable treatments performed in aesthetic medicine involve off-label use of FDA-approved products. Off-label use means that an FDA-approved medication or device is being used in a treatment area or manner that is not specifically included in its FDA-approved labeling.

When an off-label treatment is being considered, we will discuss the proposed treatment, expected benefits, potential risks, alternatives, and whether it is appropriate for you before proceeding.
