Facial augmentation procedures are intradermal shot substances used in cosmetic procedures to add volume to different areas of the face, reduce the appearance of creases, and restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. These fillers are commonly used to address signs of ageing by filling in facial lines, creases, and areas of lost volume.
Facial augmentation procedures can be used in various areas of the face, including:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the jaw)
- Lips (lip augmentation)
- Cheeks
- Under-eye hollows or tear troughs
- Jawline
- Temples
Results after facial augmentation procedures are often visible immediately. The duration of results varies depending on the type of filler used, with effects lasting anywhere from several months to over a year.
