Midface Filling
Especially from the late 20s to the early 30s, the cheeks begin to lose their youthful fullness. This causes displacement and sagging as a result of the decrease in the volume of fatty tissue and the loosening of the connective tissues that hold them in place. The midface area flattens, the relationship between the lower eyelid and the cheek is disrupted, the under eye looks tired, the folds in the nasolabial region increase, the corners of the mouth sink down, creating a sad expression and sagging. It continues in the lower part of the face, disrupting the sharp transition between the jawline and the neck.
All these changes occur gradually and are often first noticed in photographs due to their slow development.
In youth, the face is inverted triangle-shaped, but over time it gradually takes on a more rectangular form.
The purpose of midface filler is to replace the tissues lost over time with hyaluronic acid fillers, to reduce tired and sad expressions, and to support the tissues that sag downward by lifting them upwards with vectorial forces. Midface filler is generally preferred before under-eye fillers, nasolabial fillers or jawline fillers in order to provide solid support and reduce the amount of filler needed in these areas. It helps to renew oval, curved and distinct facial features by reducing the rectangular appearance of the face.
How to Make Mid-Face Filling?
Mid-face filler application is performed by an experienced specialist in the field. Before the procedure, the filler material that is suitable for your expectations, needs and skin structure is determined. Then, the area to be treated is cleaned and usually a local anesthetic cream is applied. After this stage, this special product is injected into your skin with the help of a thin needle. The application usually takes 15 to 30 minutes and you can immediately return to your daily life.
Who Can Get Midface Filling?
Midface filler can be applied to adults who are unhappy with the signs of aging and want to combat them, in other words, to achieve a younger and more vibrant appearance. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Before the procedure, your specialist will evaluate your general health status and skin structure and decide whether you are a suitable candidate.
Again, before the procedure, you should strictly follow your specialist’s recommendations and share your history of allergic reactions, if any. In addition, if you are using blood thinners or substances such as aspirin, you should also inform them of this. After the operation, it is very important for permanence to follow the care instructions as recommended to you.
At what age should midface filling be done?
According to general practice, filling and similar aesthetic operations can be performed on people over the age of 18. However, the actual applications vary according to the needs of the skin. Since wrinkles and volume loss begin to appear on the skin after the age of thirty, facial filling applications are preferred to prevent these and minimize their bad appearance.
When Does Midface Filler Take Effect?
The filling process starts to show an immediate effect on the patient’s skin. After an average of one month following the application, the filling material completely integrates with the skin, spreads and an aesthetic appearance is achieved. Although the fillings are usually not permanent, this appearance continues for an average of 8-12 months. The ideal period for most people is between 8 and 12 months for filling. It is recommended that the filling takes 20-30 days to settle. Although the filling shows its effect immediately, it is useful to wait for it to adapt to the skin.
