Filler application has been gaining significance in aesthetic treatments. Especially the facial sculpting, a.k.a. the non-surgical facial aesthetics, has become a widely preferred and effective treatment method. However, just as the preference for the glasses or the hair model, it is essential for the facial fillers to be tailor-made. An application fitting the shape of your face is quite valuable.

It is a must to evaluate the shape of your face prior to the treatment. Since there are various facial shapes, planning the filler treatment fitting the shape of your face is the first important step. Different treatment strategies are required according to the facial shape.

Heart

The heart face shape is characterized by a narrow lower face and chin, and distinct cheeks. With aging, the face loses its volume and gets thinner, which causes an angular look. This type of face can fully enjoy the softening effects of dermal fillers.

The Treatment Strategy

With this type of faces, it is essential to focus on the lower one third part of the face, and the part below the cheeks are volumized to soften the triangular look. The filler is administered strategically along the chin and the chin contour in order to create an oval shape. When necessary, it might be useful to add some filler into the cheekbones to soften the nasolabial folds.

Oval

The oval face is considered the luckiest face shape in terms of aesthetics as the people with oval faces typically have perfect facial symmetry. They have a gradually sharpening jawline and chin, as well as rounder cheeks. Yet, oval faces are potential candidates for the early aging symptoms under the eyes.

The Treatment Strategy

The middle part of the face should be the focus of the treatment. The filler is administered through the cheekbones to regain the volume. Thus, the shape of the cheeks and the reflection of the light on the face are improved. Moreover, filler is applied into various parts of the face, such as under the eyes, nasolabial folds, and chin contour. To improve the chin contour, a little amount of filler is administered along the chin.

Triangle

Faces with a distinct chin contour are defined as traingular face. This type of face has a strong structure in the lower one third part. Such faces show less indications of aging, though. Throughout time, sagging skin becomes apparent in the chin contour, neck and under the eyes.

The Treatment Strategy

While working on triangular faces, the focus must be matching the lower and the upper halves. The middle part being the focus, the filler must be administered into the cheeks, under the eyes, and along the cheek bones. Typically, in the lower face, little filler is needed to reduce the look of the jowl. Besides, if the masseter muscles are big, botox treatment could be helpful to thin the lower face. When botox is injected into the masseter muscle, it gets smaller. This procedure, thinning the lower one third of the face, will enhance the general balance of the face. This helps us obtain a better result by supporting the filler treatment.

Round

Round faces have plump cheeks and round chin contour. The vertical distance between the lower lip and the chin is shorter than that of the other face types. This might cause a fat look with some people.

The Treatment Strategy

The objective of the treatment is to improve the vertical ratio of the face through supporting the lower one third. With the filler applied into the chin, it is possible to give the face a thinner and more elegant look.

What makes a face beautiful is the accord of the ratios. This should not mean a perfect symmetry, but rahter, a balanced proportion. Due to the natural aging process, the volume of the tissue and the bone mass decline, which might disturb the facial proportion. In line with the natural shape of your face, a filler treatment based on a personal evaluation can produce successful results.
