Can Fillers Really Slim Your Face?
Facial fillers add volume to specific areas of the face, enhance natural contours, and improve definition. Although fillers are commonly known for plumping, they can also thin you out — if used strategically. Fillers can also give the face a more sculpted and streamlined look — they enhance certain features such as the cheekbones and jawline.
Here are the key areas where fillers can help in slimmer facial shape:
- Cheekbones: Volumizing the upper cheeks opens the face up and gives a more sculpted look.
- Jawline: By injecting fillers along the jawline, doctors can create a sharper, chiseled jawline that can help balance out a more round face.
- Chin: Chin fillers can lengthen the face and help improve facial proportions in appearance, making the lower face look more slender.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are commonly used agents in facial contouring because of their natural feel and reversibility. They are perfect for creating structure with the cheekbones and jawline but still have that soft, natural finish. Popular brands are Juvederm and Restylane.
Fillers based on calcium hydroxylapatite
These fillers have a thicker consistency and have a firmer structure, which makes them a great option for jawline and chin fillers. They also boost collagen production, giving longer-term results. Radiesse is an example of a popular filler in this category.
Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers
Sculptra or poly-L-lactic acid fillers, stimulate collagen production over time. They are also used for larger areas of skin and facial contouring resulting in more subtle and gradual results.
