Discover the Secret to a Natural Look with Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular facial rejuvenation treatment to look younger without surgery or downtime. The injectables can make you look less tired, sad, and saggy when done well. Filler can reshape your lips and restore hollows under your eyes for a more youthful appearance.
But how can you enjoy the fantastic benefits of dermal filler without looking overdone? Let’s discuss what dermal fillers are, what they can and can’t do, and the secret to a natural look with dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers replace facial volume loss but cannot replicate a facelift
As we age, our faces naturally lose fat, the skin stretches, and the facial muscles work closer to the skin’s surface. This makes smile lines and crow’s feet more apparent.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to:
- Restore lost volume
- Smooth lines
- Soften creases
- Improve facial feature symmetry
- Enhance facial contours
- Plump thin lips
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
While dermal fillers cannot achieve the same results as a face, brow, or eye lift, they can help delay the time when considering a facelift becomes appropriate.
The secret to a natural look with dermal fillers
For the most natural dermal filler results, look at the skills of your injector.
Filler placement requires artistry, seeing the face as a whole to eliminate wrinkles while maintaining facial shape and harmony. It also requires knowing when to stop to avoid the following overdone, unnatural results:
- Overfilled lip lines so the upper lip bulges
- Overfilled nasolabial fold between your nose and mouth for a strangely flat face
- The same “cookie-cutter” lip on every face shape and size
- Your face doesn’t appear harmonious when making facial expressions
How to find a dermal filler injector
Because finding the perfect injector is crucial to a natural look with dermal fillers, here are some tips:
- During your consultation, ask to see before and after photos of patients treated by them
- Make sure they take their time and care, closely studying and tweaking their work until they achieve the most naturally beautiful results
- Your injector should observe your face from all angles and touch and pinch your face to feel the shape of structures underneath
- Ask your injector who they trained with, how many days of training they’ve had, and how many filler treatments they have performed
- The best injectors will say no when needed to avoid unnatural, over-filled results
- Ask whether the injector can dissolve the filler if needed
