Cheek, Chin, Jawline or Under Eye: Which Filler Area Is Right for You?
Dermal fillers can do much more than plump lips. Placed in the right area, filler can restore lost volume, define your profile, and soften a tired look. If you are not sure where to start, this guide from Pure Skin MedSpa in Southington, Trumbull, and Branford breaks down the most popular facial filler areas and what each one can do.
How Facial Fillers Work
Most facial fillers are made with gel like substances such as hyaluronic acid, which plump and lift the skin. As we age, the face naturally loses volume and elasticity, which can lead to hollows, folds, and a less defined jawline. Filler replaces some of that lost support for a natural, refreshed look. Depending on the product and area, results can last about 6 to 18 months.
Matching the Area to Your Goal
Cheeks: Cheek filler restores volume that fades with age and can add a gentle lift to the midface. Lifting the cheeks can also soften the look of folds lower on the face.
Chin and jawline: Chin and jawline filler adds definition and balance to your profile. It is a popular choice for clients who want a sharper, more contoured lower face without surgery.
Under eyes: Under eye filler can soften hollows that make you look tired. This delicate area requires an experienced injector. Pure Skin also offers Selphyl® PRFM as an under eye rejuvenation option.
Smile lines and marionette lines: Filler can soften the nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the mouth and the marionette lines below the corners of the mouth.
Why Many Clients Treat More Than One Area
The face works as a whole, so many clients combine areas for balanced results. For example, cheek and chin filler together can create harmony between the midface and profile. Your provider will look at your full face during your consultation and recommend a plan. Explore options on our facial fillers page, or compare costs in our filler cost guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which filler area should I start with?
The best filler area to start with depends on what bothers you most. Cheek filler is a common starting point because restoring midface volume can improve the whole face. Chin and jawline filler is ideal for profile definition, while under eye filler targets a tired look. Your Pure Skin provider will recommend an area based on your goals.
How long does facial filler last?
Facial filler typically lasts about 6 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the area treated. Areas with more movement may break down filler faster. Results can be maintained with periodic touch ups, and your provider will suggest a maintenance schedule that fits your goals.
Is under eye filler safe?
Under eye filler can be safe when performed by an experienced, qualified injector who understands the anatomy of this delicate area. Not everyone is a candidate, so a consultation is required. Pure Skin also offers Selphyl® PRFM as an alternative under eye rejuvenation treatment.
How long does a filler appointment take?
A facial filler treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Filler is injected with a fine needle or cannula, and many fillers contain lidocaine to improve comfort. Some bruising and swelling may occur, and you will receive aftercare instructions to help your results settle smoothly.
