For many people, upper and lower face treatments with fillers offer a cost-effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance, with less risk and without having to deal with incisions, stitches or scars typically associated with traditional facial surgery.
Today’s technology has provided us with dermal fillers that not only serve to erase imperfections ranging from fine lines to deep wrinkles, but can also restore lost skin volume due to aging.
These upper and lower face treatments with fillers leave the patient with a more natural looking youthfulness compared to the pulled, tight skin and artificial look often seen with conventional facelift surgery.
What Are Upper Face Treatments with Fillers?
As the name might suggest, upper face treatments involve using dermal fillers, such as Botox® to fill in deep wrinkles in the upper part of the face, predominantly the eyes and brow area. Botox® works by relaxing the muscles, decreasing the appearance of lines and keeping new ones from developing.
Voluma® is used effectively in the mid-face area, adding volume to sagging cheeks. This is a hyaluronic acid filler that helps replace the decreasing supply of hyaluronic acid found naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid binds to water, giving the skin a healthy, youthful glow while restoring suppleness and volume.
Benefits of Upper Face Treatments with Fillers
Botox® and Voluma® are two highly popular dermal fillers designed specifically for use in the upper part of the face. Some of the advantages and benefits of these fillers include the following:
- FDA approved and safe to use
- Minimal risk – no incisions are made
- Long-lasting results
- Relatively pain-free – minimal to no discomfort
- Speedy recovery period – little to no downtime
- Replaces lost skin volume
- Minimizes or erases lines and wrinkles and lifts sagging skin
- Restores a healthy, youthful, natural looking glow
What Are Lower Face Treatments with Fillers?
Over time, age-related issues show up on your face. Fat loss and bone loss in the facial area work hand in hand with gravity, leaving you with saggy jowls, droopy neck skin and deep wrinkles around the nose and lips.
Lower face treatments with fillers can be used to decrease lines and wrinkles around the mouth, lower cheeks and chin areas. Injectable fillers such as Juvederm® are used successfully in dealing with nasolabial folds, smoker’s lines around the lips, and marionette lines.
Another popular hyaluronic acid dermal filler is Restylane®, often used to diminish the signs of aging in the lower face, as well as replacing lost volume.
Benefits of Lower Face Treatments with Fillers
Juvederm® and Restylane® are two highly popular dermal fillers designed specifically for use in the lower part of the face. Some of the advantages and benefits of these fillers include the following:
- Restores the volume to sagging, hollow cheeks
- Helps soften and minimize marionette lines
- Decreases the appearance of nasolabial folds
- Contours and lifts the jawline
- Improves facial symmetry
- Long-lasting results

The purpose of all these dermal fillers is to help maintain a natural looking balance between the upper part of the face and the lower part. When these fillers are expertly injected into the skin on your face, they replenish lost volume, improve the symmetry of your face, and restore a healthy, natural, youthful look to your appearance.
