A fuller face not only looks younger but also radiates vitality. Facial filler injections have become not just a trend but an effective beauty enhancement for women.Which areas, when plumped, make you appear younger?
1. Forehead Augmentation
In Asian aesthetics, a full forehead, straight nose, and red lips are considered beautiful. A less-than-plump forehead can be improved through injections of autologous fat, hyaluronic acid, collagen, or Aibei fillers. If you can tolerate surgery, forehead implants are another option—though more invasive, they offer longer-lasting results.
Injectable fillers typically leave no visible traces. For silicone or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) forehead augmentation, incisions are usually made along the hairline, resulting in minimal scarring post-recovery.
II. Temple Augmentation
Sunken temples refer to flat, underdeveloped temples. This is common in thin individuals with minimal subcutaneous fat, though it can also result from genetic skull structure. Regardless of the cause, the forehead augmentation methods mentioned above can be applied to improve this condition.
When using implants, the surgical incision is often placed behind the hairline at the temple. If performed concurrently with forehead augmentation, a longer coronal incision across the temporal-parietal region may be used. Post-operative scarring remains minimal, so excessive concern is unnecessary.
III. Cheek Augmentation
Sunken cheeks can give an appearance of malnutrition, accentuate high cheekbones, and make the face look older compared to peers. While implants can be used for cheek augmentation, fillers like hyaluronic acid, collagen, and Aquafill are more commonly employed.
Injectable fillers offer limited duration. Autologous fat may be partially absorbed by the body, hyaluronic acid maintains facial fullness for 6-12 months, collagen lasts even shorter, while Aquafill provides long-lasting results but carries potential unknown risks—exercise caution when considering this option.
Finally, a reminder to those seeking enhancement: seemingly simple injection fillers actually demand high proficiency in facial anatomy and technique from the practitioner. Surgery carries additional risks like implant displacement or incision infection. Therefore, regardless of the method chosen, always visit a reputable medical institution to ensure safety and optimal results.
