Facial aging doesn’t happen in just one place — it’s a gradual shift in volume, contours, and skin support that can affect multiple areas at once. Dermal fillers offer a precise, customizable way to address these changes, and at Manhattan Dermatology, our treatments are performed by cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Jordana Gilman with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetic balance. Knowing where fillers are most commonly used can help you better understand how subtle enhancements may come together for natural-looking results.
Lips
Lip enhancement remains one of the most requested uses for dermal fillers. Treatment can focus on adding volume, refining shape, or improving symmetry. In many cases, the goal is not simply fuller lips but a balanced appearance that complements the rest of the face. Careful placement allows for soft, natural movement while maintaining definition along the lip border.
Cheeks
The cheeks play a central role in overall facial structure. As volume diminishes over time, the midface may appear flatter or less supported. Fillers placed in the cheeks can help restore contour and provide a gentle lift to surrounding areas. This approach often contributes to a more refreshed look without altering natural facial characteristics.
Under Eyes
Hollows beneath the eyes can create a tired appearance, even when someone feels well-rested. Dermal fillers may be used to smooth the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, reducing shadowing in this area. Treatment requires a high level of precision and experience to ensure even distribution and subtle results.
Nasolabial Folds
These lines, which run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, tend to deepen with age due to volume loss and repeated facial movement. Fillers can soften their appearance by restoring support beneath the skin, helping the face appear more relaxed while preserving natural expression.
Jawline and Chin
Enhancing the jawline and chin has become increasingly popular for both men and women. Fillers in this area can improve definition, balance proportions, and create a smoother transition from the face to the neck. Strategic placement allows providers to refine contours without surgery.
