Midface Fillers
Midface fillers are an approach that uses fillers to support areas of volume loss around the cheekbones and cheeks.
What Are Midface Fillers?
Midface volume plays an important role in overall facial expression; loss in this area may be associated with deeper under-eye hollows and an impression of lower-face sagging. The midface is therefore often a priority in comprehensive planning.
Injection points, product and quantity are determined according to facial anatomy and the distribution of volume loss. The aim is balanced support that preserves natural facial contours; exaggerated cheekbones are not the goal.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
- Assessment. Midface volume is mapped, and its relationship with the under-eye area and lower face is considered.
- Preparation. The area is cleaned; an anesthetic cream may be applied for comfort.
- Treatment. The product is injected gradually at the planned points, with the balance between both sides checked continuously.
- Review. The overall appearance is assessed, and aftercare recommendations are provided.
Who May Be Considered for Treatment?
- People who notice volume loss in the cheeks
- People who feel their face looks hollow and tired
- People seeking planning that supports the under-eye appearance
- People seeking improved facial contour
Some under-eye concerns can be addressed through midface support; the appropriate sequence and scope are determined during assessment.
After Treatment
Mild swelling and tenderness may occur after treatment and usually subside within a few days. The appearance settles as swelling decreases; advice for the first few days is tailored to the individual.
