3 ways to smooth, sculpt, contour, and redefine the lower face with filler

Dermal filler is among the most popular treatments available at Eman Aesthetics. There is good reason for this; our talented aestheticians and injectors can effectively sculpt, contour, and define areas of the face (and even some areas of the body) without surgery and aggressive procedures. And, while fillers may be appropriate for the upper and mid-face, such as the tear troughs, temples, and cheeks, they are particularly good at treating the lower portion of the face. Our skilled team is pleased to share three applications for filler with our friends and neighbors from across the Centerville, Dayton, Kettering, and Oakwood, Ohio area.

No. 1: Nasolabial folds

These folds quite literally refer to the lines or creases around the nose (“naso”) and lips (“labial”). You may know them as “smile lines.” The effects of gravity, loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, sun damage, and more can all contribute to extra, loose skin around the sides of the nose that extends to the corners of your mouth. They also get their nickname from how the cumulative effects of facial expressions, such as smiling or laughing, can affect aging skin and lead to potentially deep depression in this area of the face. Fillers for this concern contain ingredients that plump up the targeted skin to “fill in” these depressions. The longest-lasting fillers on the market today even stimulate the production of collagen.

No. 2: Marionette lines

These lines that extend downward from the corners of your mouth to your chin get their name from the marionettes (puppets), which have distinctive vertical lines in the same spots. As with nasolabial folds, marionette lines may develop and become more pronounced due to the toll that gravity and age-related changes can take on our skin. Additionally, lifestyle factors (such as smoking and the repeated act of pursing the lips) can hasten premature aging. So, these lines can show up earlier and be much deeper in some people than others. Either way, we have the products to soften these creases safely. Our injectors can match the right formulation to your needs and precisely apply the most appropriate one, adding volume to the depressed/creased areas. That way, your results will look natural, and the whole process will be safe, avoiding the rare risk of severe side effects associated with dermal/soft tissue filler.

No. 3: Jowls

The appearance of your face is not only affected by the loss of elastin and collagen proteins that give the skin flexibility and firmness but also by fat loss. This combination of fat and elastin loss can lead to formerly plump and well-defined cheeks flattening out and becoming hollow and the skin and tissues sliding downward. As this happens, a once balanced and more oval-shaped face may appear squared-off and “heavy.” The lax skin may also hang and produce deep creases and excess at the sides of the face, known as “jowls.” Our injectors are like artists, naturally sculpting this portion of the face. They can add volume to saggy and creased areas, effectively lifting the tissues and restoring a youthful and healthy contour. Depending on the type of filler used, we can support sustained results by triggering changes deep within the skin (such as collagen remodeling).

You deserve to look as happy, vibrant, healthy, and youthful as you are and feel. With our array of dermal filler options, we can ensure that the image you present to the world is true to who you actually are and aligns with how you feel and want others to see you.
