Mid-Face Filler
Especially from the late 20s to early 30s, the cheeks begin to lose their youthful fullness. This occurs due to a decrease in the volume of fat tissue and the loosening of connective tissues that hold them in place, leading to displacement and sagging. The mid-face area flattens, the relationship between the lower eyelid and the cheek is disrupted, the under-eye area looks tired, the folds in the nasolabial region increase, the corners of the mouth turn down, creating a sad expression, and sagging continues in the lower face, disturbing the sharp transition between the jawline and neck.
All of these changes occur gradually and are often first noticed in photographs because of their slow development.
In youth, the face is shaped like an inverted triangle, but over time, it gradually takes on a more rectangular form.
|The aim of mid-face filler is to replace what has been lost over time with hyaluronic acid fillers, reducing the tired and sad expression, and supporting the downward sagging tissues by lifting them upward with vector forces. Mid-face filler is often preferred before under-eye fillers, nasolabial fillers, or jawline fillers to provide solid support, reducing the amount of filler needed for these areas. It helps restore the oval, curved, and defined facial features, reducing the rectangular appearance of the face.
When is the change seen before and after mid-face filler?
The effects are immediately visible and last an average of 12-18 months. As the fillers dissolve, they also stimulate collagen production, so even after the fillers have dissolved, results can often be better than before the treatment.
