5 Popular Face Areas for Dermal Fillers

It’s no secret that dermal fillers are some of the most popular cosmetic procedures. Of the 23.7 million cosmetic minimally invasive procedures performed in 2022, about 4.8 million procedures included hyaluronic acid fillers, and 1.3 million included lip fillers.

It begs the question: With millions of dermal fillers administered each year, where is the most popular place to receive them?

Here are five popular face areas where you can use dermal fillers to enhance your natural beauty, courtesy of Dr. David T. Jacobs and our team here at South Shore Vein and Aesthetic Medicine in Rockville Centre, New York.

1. Your cheeks

Dermal fillers add volume to your cheeks. As you age, you may notice a loss of fullness in this area, which leads to a tired or sunken appearance.

By injecting fillers with hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite — both of which are available at South Shore Vein and Aesthetic Medicine — into your cheeks, you can restore their natural contour and create a more youthful and lifted look.

2. Your lips

Full and plump lips are a desirable feature, and dermal fillers can help you achieve this look.

Dermal fillers can:

Add fullness to your lips
Correct asymmetries
Define your lip shape
Reduce the appearance of fine lines (lipstick lines)

Several types of dermal fillers can be used on your lips, but the one that’s right for you depends on your goals. For example, JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC adds volumes to your lips and corrects those pesky perioral lines.

3. Along the corners of your mouth

The lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth — better known as nasolabial folds, smile lines, or laugh lines — often become more pronounced with age.

In addition to nasolabial folders, fillers can also tackle another type of wrinkle that forms near your mouth: marionette lines. Marionette lines are the vertical lines that run from the corners of your mouth down to your chin. These lines can create a sad or tired expression even when you’re feeling happy and energetic.

Dermal fillers soften these lines and give your face a smoother and more youthful appearance.

4. Under your eyes

If you’re tired of trying to hide dark circles with makeup, you’re not alone. Loss of fat pads, decreased collagen, and thinning skin can quickly present as dark circles and hollows under your eyes.

Under-eye circles are a common complaint because they can make you feel older and fatigued even if you’re not! Thankfully, fillers can help.

Fillers placed under the eyes can restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of dark circles, giving you a more rested, youthful look.

5. Your jawline

Dermal fillers can lift a sagging jawline. Known as jawline fillers, they can:

Add volume and definition to your jawline
Smooth creases and fine lines
Correct asymmetries in your jawline

Jawline fillers can be combined with fillers on other areas of your face (such as nasolabial folds) to create a more uniform look.

As with any of these areas, you may wish to combine several fillers or even combine fillers with other types of injectables, such as Botox®, to reduce forehead wrinkles.
