What is Filler?

Filler

Filler is a hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment used for skin rejuvenation and volume restoration. One of the most popular applications of modern aesthetic medicine, this procedure restores the volume lost with aging, reduces wrinkles and clarifies facial contours. This minimally invasive method, which provides natural-looking results, offers a safe option with its non-permanent structure. Filler applications, which can be customized for patients of all age groups, can provide dramatic improvements in facial aesthetics when performed by experienced specialists.

Filler Application

Filler application is a comprehensive procedure that can be applied in many areas where there is volume loss in the facial area or aesthetic correction is desired. Fillers used in modern aesthetic medicine are mostly hyaluronic acid-based products that the body produces naturally. Thanks to this feature, they are easily accepted by the body and metabolized naturally over time.

The scope of filler application is concentrated in the following areas:

  • Lip plumping and shaping
  • Volumizing the cheek area
  • Removal of under-eye hollows
  • Nose reshaping (non-surgical rhinoplasty)
  • Chin line clarification
  • Forehead and temple area corrections
  • Correction of nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Hand rejuvenation

⇧ Why is Filler Preferred?

Filler treatment is widely preferred as an alternative to surgical interventions due to the many advantages it offers. One of the most important reasons for preference is that the procedure is minimally invasive and gives fast results. The fact that it does not require anesthesia, the recovery time is short and you can return to daily life immediately makes it an ideal option for people with a busy work schedule.

Reasons why filler treatment is preferred:

  • Provides natural and smooth transition results
  • Short procedure time (15-30 minutes on average)
  • Possible reversibility thanks to its non-permanent structure
  • Can be applied with local anesthesia
  • Immediate return to daily activities after the procedure
  • Being more economical than surgical operations
  • Individualized planning and phased implementation
  • Minimal risk

⇧ How Does the Process Work in Filler Application?

The filler application process is a planned process that starts with a detailed consultation and is carried out with a professional approach. In the first stage, the patient's expectations are evaluated and the facial anatomy is examined in detail. Photographing is done before the application and the amount of filler to be used is determined. After the procedure area is cleaned, local anesthetic cream is applied to ensure patient comfort.

Stages of the application process:

  • Detailed face analysis and photography
  • Determination of the appropriate type and amount of backfill
  • Disinfection of the procedure area
  • Local anesthetic cream application (15-20 minutes waiting)
  • Identification of marking and injection points
  • Filler injection with special cannulas or needles
  • Styling with light massage
  • Final check and sharing of recommendations

⇧ What is the Recovery Process After Filler?

The healing process of filler application is generally comfortable and fast. Mild swelling, redness and tenderness may be observed in the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. These symptoms are part of the body's natural healing process and resolve spontaneously in a short time. It may take an average of 2 weeks for the full result to be seen, during which time the filler material is evenly distributed and hydrated in the tissue.

Conditions that can be seen during the healing process and their duration:

  • Slight swelling 2-3 days
  • Redness 24-48 hours
  • Sensitivity: 3-5 days
  • Minimal bruising: 5-7 days
  • Feeling of stiffness 1-2 weeks
  • Asymmetry First few days
  • Finalization: 2 weeks

⇧ What Should Be Considered After Filler Application?

It is important to follow some rules to achieve optimum results and prevent possible complications after filler application. The first 24-48 hours after the procedure is the most critical period of the healing process. During this period, the procedure area should be protected and certain activities should be avoided. Cold compresses can be applied to accelerate the healing process.

Points to be considered after the procedure:

  • Ice should be applied for the first 6 hours (15 minutes intervals)
  • 24-hour alcohol consumption should be avoided
  • 48 hours without intense physical activity
