Subtle Facial Enhancements with Fillers
Everyone knows about using fillers to rejuvenate the lips, cheeks and creases around the mouth. These are very prominent and important areas to keep a youthful appearance, but fillers for more subtle places can make a big difference in your face, too. A little filler in some of the inconspicuous places, such as the earlobes, temples and chin can make a subtle change that can improve your overall appearance. This blog will touch on some of those less common places that fillers can be used to rejuvenate your face.
Earlobes
Earlobes are definitely not the first body part that comes to mind when most people are thinking of ways to restore their youthful appearance, but earlobes show the signs of aging just like the face and neck. Gravity and many years of wearing heavier earrings are the main aggravators of earlobe aging. It is important not to forget these little pieces of cartilage when getting treatments for your face. Thin, droopy, and even wrinkly earlobes look out of place when the face is smooth, full, and firm.
Fortunately earlobe support can be added with plumping from injectable fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane or Radiesse. Fillers can also help a stretched out earring hole appear smaller. With immediate results and no recovery time, you can enjoy your earrings and this subtle youthful enhancement right away.
Temples
The area on the outside of each eye between the top of the cheekbone and the brow bone is the region called the temple. The hollowing of the temples due to volume loss can contribute to a tired, weary appearance of the face and eyes. This is definitely one of those areas where a filler makes a subtle yet significant difference in highlighting the eyes and eliminating shadows for a rejuvenated face. Radiesse, Juvederm, Perlane and Restylane can all be options depending on your face, desired immediacy and duration of results you seek.
Chin
A well defined chin helps give the face its shape, adds balance to the other facial features, and helps define the jawline and neck. A liquid chin augmentation with the fillers like Juvederm, Perlane, Restylane and Radiesse, is an excellent way to optimize the contour that the chin adds to the face. It can also correct an underprojected chin that you were born with or that has lost volume with age.
This is a subtle change, but can visibly enhance the youthfulness of your overall appearance. In many cases, this procedure provides the added benefit of a slightly more tightened look to the neck.
Sometimes it doesn’t take a drastic change to restore a youthful appearance to the face and it’s nice when people notice an improvement, but can’t put their finger on what was done. If you’ve had other treatments and still feel like you need a little something more, come in for a consultation so we can decide if one of these subtle changes can make all the difference for you.
