Post Date: 8/2/2023

 

Midface filler is a popular cosmetic procedure that provides significant improvement in a person's appearance by adding volume to their skin.

Throughout history, the desire for beauty and youth has been one of the fundamental instincts of humanity. As the aging process progresses, the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss in the skin can lead many individuals to feel aged and tired. Fortunately, with advancements in medical technology, it is now possible to partially halt or at least slow down the aging process. Midcheek filler is one such popular and effective solution in this field.

In this procedure, certain filler materials are injected beneath the skin. These ones usually consist of biologically compatible molecules such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. They add volume to the tissues under your skin, thereby correcting wrinkles and sagging. Prof. Dr. Selçuk İnanlı successfully and safely performs these procedures at his clinic.

You might wonder where the midcheek grooves' area is located. It encompasses the area starting from under your eyes and extending to your cheekbones, between your nose and mouth. Over time, volume loss occurs in this area, and the underlying support tissues of the skin weaken. As a result, you may experience hollowed cheeks and the appearance of deep nasal labial lines.

How Is MidFace Filler Done?

Mid-face filler practice is carried out by an experienced specialist in the field. Prior to the procedure, the appropriate filler material is selected based on your expectations, needs, and skin type. Then, the treatment area is cleansed, and usually, a local anesthetic cream is applied. After this step, the specific filler is injected into your skin using a fine needle. The procedure generally takes between 15 to 30 minutes, and you can go back to your daily activities immediately. With this operation, you can address the following issues:

  • Reducing under-eye bags and dark circles.
  • Enhancing cheekbone definition.
  • Correcting sunken cheeks.
  • Diminishing nasolabial folds.
  • Lifting the corners of the mouth and the edges of the lips.

What Types of Mid-Face Fillers Are There?

There is a variety of filler materials used for mid-face fillers/grooves procedures. One of the most popular ones is hyaluronic acid fillers. They regulate the skin's moisture balance and add volume to it. Your body naturally produces this substance. Additionally, it provides elasticity and fullness. The injected material is gradually absorbed over time, but with regularly repeated applications, the results can be maintained for a long period.

Another commonly used filler type is calcium hydroxylapatite. These tend to have a more long-lasting effect compared to other fillers. This filler also stimulates collagen production, providing long-term youthfulness and fullness. On the other hand, poly-L-lactic acid fillers also achieve the same stimulation under your skin, reducing wrinkles.

Mid-face filler can be applied to adults who are unhappy with signs of aging and want to combat them to achieve a younger and more vibrant appearance. However, it may not be suitable for everyone. Before the procedure, your specialist will assess your general health condition and skin type to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Prior to the application, it is crucial to follow your specialist's recommendations and share any history of allergic reactions you may have. Additionally, if you are using blood-thinning medications or aspirin, you should inform them about it. After the operation, it is essential to adhere to the recommended care instructions for long-lasting results.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mid-Face Filler

Mid-face filler offers numerous advantages, including providing liveliness and freshness to the skin, reducing under-eye bags and dark circles, enhancing cheekbone definition and correcting facial contours, addressing cheek hollows, and reducing nasolabial lines. Furthermore, mid-cheek filler delivers quick and effective results with minimal recovery time, allowing patients to return to their daily lives immediately.

However, it's important to consider the disadvantages as well. Some individuals may experience mild side effects after the procedure, such as slight swelling and redness, but these are generally temporary. Since the filler materials are naturally broken down by the body, the duration of the effect is limited, and regular touch-up sessions may be necessary. Additionally, there is a risk of infection after the procedure, so proper hygiene practices should be observed. Overfilling can lead to undesirable results, making it essential for mid-face filler applications to be performed by experienced professionals.

The question of whether mid-cheek filler can be combined with other cosmetic procedures is a matter of interest for patients. Especially when combined with Botox, it is possible to address wrinkles on the face and achieve the desired appearance. Such combinations can help achieve more effective results. On the other hand, mid-face filler costs may vary depending on the type of filler used, the expertise of the doctor, and the size of the treated area.
