Filling Applications
Filling Applications
Over the years, there is a decrease in subcutaneous fat tissue and collagen and elastic fibres that provide moisture and tension to the skin. As a result, skin volume loss, collapses, sagging, wrinkles and thinning of the lips occur. Aesthetic filling applications are special injection treatments applied under the skin in order to remove wrinkles on the skin, correct volume loss and sagging.

Aesthetic filling applications are special injection treatments applied under the skin in order to remove wrinkles on the skin, correct volume loss and sagging.
Filling applications for aesthetic purposes are used in cheek and chin plumping, correction of detention pits (tear through), lip plumping, correction of wrinkles around the nose and sagging around the mouth, rhinoplasty, rejuvenation of the hand, neck and cleavage area.
Filling applications are short-lasting procedures with minimal pain. Anaesthetic cream is applied to the application area before the procedure. Special needle tips are used for the procedure. The filling procedure takes 15-20 minutes depending on the application area. The permanence of the application varies between 9 months and 1 year depending on the condition of the skin and the filler used.
The substances used in filling applications are divided into three according to their duration of activity, permanent fillers, semi-permanent fillers, and non-permanent fillers. Permanent fillers are not applied today due to serious side effects and unwanted reactions. The most important feature of semi-permanent fillers is that they give volume when applied and have a skin rejuvenation effect by increasing collagen production under the skin. The permanence of these fillers is between 2-4 years. Semi-permanent fillers are available as mineral fillers containing calcium hydroxyapatite and smart fillers containing caprolactone. Non-permanent 'hyaluronic acid' fillers are the most preferred fillers for aesthetic purposes. Hyaluronic acid is a support substance found under the skin; it meets the water needs of cells, strengthens cell bonds, and tightens the skin. This molecule, which has a high-water retention capacity by acting as a sponge with its ability to maintain moisture content, thus supports the tissues and provides a healthier and firmer skin.
What are the side effects of filling application?
Bleeding, bruising, swelling and redness may occur during and after filling applications. These effects disappear in about 7 days. It may take 2-3 weeks for the effect to appear. Fillers are not applied to those with active infection in the application area and to those under 18 years of age.
What should be considered before the filling procedure?
- Aspirin and other blood thinners should be discontinued 1 week in advance, if possible, as they increase the risk of bruising.
- Nutritional supplements such as omega-3, green tea, alcohol, lemon, garlic and some vitamins increase the risk of bleeding, so they should be discontinued 1 week before the application.
- If there is an active infection or herpes in the application area, it should be treated and filling application should be planned.
Lip Fillers
Lips are one of the most important elements that play a role in facial aesthetics. Beautiful and full lips complement facial beauty and provide self-confidence.
As the bone tissue supporting the lips weakens with age, the lips become thinner and the corners of the lips slide down. Smoking can cause vertical lines on the upper and lower lips. In some people, lips are structurally thin or asymmetrical. All these can be corrected with filling application.
To whom should lip fillers not be applied?
It should not be applied to pregnant women, people with active infection and herpes problems in the application area, people with hypersensitivity to the material used.
How is the procedure performed?
Anaesthetic cream is applied to the lips before lip augmentation. After waiting for 15-30 minutes, the filler is injected into the appropriate areas by entering with a cannula from several places or two points deemed necessary.

Under-eye Light Filling
The first area to age on our face is the under-eye region, which is deficient in oil glands. Early formation of grooves and dark circles can be observed in this area. The upper 1/3 of the face, especially the eyes and its surroundings, is the most noticeable area on the human face, making a person appear older, tired, and sad than they actually are. Under-eye light filling is a specially developed filler for the under-eye area used to address these changes.
Under-eye light filling (Redensity 2) treats the groove under the eyes with hyaluronic acid while simultaneously promoting skin renewal with peptides and antioxidants, reducing dark circles and wrinkles and providing brightness. What sets Redensity 2 apart from other fillers is its unique content, including hyaluronic acid and a restructuring complex consisting of 8 amino acids, 3 antioxidants, 2 minerals (zinc, copper), and 1 vitamin (B6 vitamin).

Chin Filling and Jawline Filling
The goal of chin filling is to extend the chin forward. Chin filling should be done differently for men and women, as their chin structures differ. Men tend to have a more angular and wide chin structure, providing a masculine appearance. In contrast, women have an oval-shaped chin, which is softer in structure. Care must be taken not to create a masculine appearance in women by forming angular and wide chin structures.
Jawline filling, also known as Hollywood chin, is a filler procedure applied to emphasize the back ½ of the chin bone. This procedure is often preferred by Hollywood actors, aiming to create a more defined jawline. Jawline filling is used to provide a more distinct jawline and a sharper transition between the jawline and the neck, enhancing attractive facial contours in women and creating more masculine facial features in men. Additionally, this procedure reduces the appearance of the double chin.

Non-Surgical Nose Job
The nose is one of the most important factors determining facial aesthetics. Positioned in the middle of the face and playing a crucial role in facial aesthetics, the nose is often targeted for cosmetic procedures. The use of fillers to reshape the nose is known as a non-surgical nose job. For patients who do not consider nose surgery, are not suitable for surgery, or only desire minimal changes to the nose, nose filler applications can achieve the desired outcome. Nose filler can be used to lift the nasal tip, correct humps and depressions on the nasal bridge, and address asymmetries.

Filler applications help to restore these lost volumes.
