Which areas of the face can fillers treat?

A clinician touches under a woman's eye to show an area for filler.

If you are mapping out a first filler visit, the useful question is where on the face the work usually happens. One source gives a direct answer, and the rest of this page turns it into steps.

Where fillers usually go

my.clevelandclinic.org states: "Healthcare providers usually inject dermal fillers in the areas around your eyes, mouth and nose."

What the passage asks of you

The passage gives three zones: around the eyes, around the mouth and around the nose. Sort your own concerns into those zones first. A concern that falls outside all three is a question to raise directly with the provider.

Steps for your consultation

  1. Point to each area that bothers you and name its zone.
  2. Ask the provider which of those areas they would treat first, and why.
  3. Ask what they would leave alone.
  4. Ask which product they would choose for each area. A PMC article on non-cross-linked and cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers explains why the choice can differ.

Fact sheets to read before the visit

Penn Medicine's dermal fillers page and Yale Medicine's fact sheet on Botox and soft tissue fillers are good documents to read before you go.

When the answer you get does not match the passage

Ask the provider to explain the difference. For people in and around Saline, a short consultation is the right place to settle it.
