How Far Do Fillers Go?

One of the most popular aesthetic procedures is undoubtedly dermal fillers. The majority of fillers commonly used in the market are based on hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in our bodies. This substance is cross-linked using special chemical methods to increase its density and is prepared in a volume-enhancing form.

These fillers offer a highly effective, practical, and economical solution, especially when used in areas of the face that require volume. However, as with any aesthetic application, it is important to be able to answer the questions “how much” and “where” correctly.

İlk Kez Dolgu Yaptıracaklar İçin:

The biggest concern for people who have never had fillers before is the possibility of their face looking unnatural. However, this fear is often unnecessary. When applied in the right amount and with the right technique, fillers do not create a noticeable artificial look on your face. On the contrary, they contribute to a healthier and more dynamic appearance by providing a slight shaping and rejuvenation effect.

Dolguya Alışmış Olanlar İçin:

As fillers produce effective results, some patients may develop a tendency to try to solve every aesthetic problem with fillers over time. This is where caution is needed. Because every anatomical detail of our face has a meaning. For example, the nasolabial fold (the groove between the nose and lips) is actually a natural line found even in children. As we age, this line may deepen, and softening it with a small amount of filler can indeed create a rejuvenating effect on the face. However, attempting to completely eliminate this line can result in an unnatural, even artificial and lifeless appearance.

Dolgunun Sınırları ve Cerrahın Sorumluluğu:

One of the important responsibilities of a plastic surgeon is to determine the extent to which the patient's complaint can be corrected with fillers, assess when surgery is necessary, and guide the patient accordingly. This is because some conditions can only be corrected with surgery. Although there are patients who do not want surgery, it is not the right approach for a doctor to say “yes” to every request.

If the filling has exceeded its limits, the doctor's duty is to clearly state the following: “Any application made after this point will not make you more beautiful, but rather cause you to lose your natural beauty.”

Filler treatments yield excellent results when performed on the right patients, with proper planning and awareness of limitations. However, as with everything else, they must be used in moderation and applied appropriately. It should not be forgotten that the essence of beauty is naturalness.
