The Best Facial Fillers for Different Parts of the Face

06/14/2022 by DR. ANDREW JACONO

A young woman getting a facial filler with an injection.

There has been a notable spike in the use of facial fillers in recent years, and it may very well be linked to the great results that celebrity Kylie Jenner has touted from her experience with facial fillers. But with or without Kylie, women (and men) are rushing to the plastic surgeon to get cosmetic fillers for their faces. But what are the best facial injections? What is the best cosmetic filler?

In this article, we outline the five best face fillers. 

It All Depends On Where You Need It

To determine which facial filler is best, you need to know where and how that facial filler will be used. Different injection sites require different types of fillers. 

Cheekbones

Cheekbones need more lift than other parts of the face, so they would need something known as G Prime, which refers to the density or thickness of the filler. High G Prime fillers are used in areas that need a lot of volume like the cheekbones and mandible. 

In a situation like this, Juvederm Volumna XC is often used. It’s one of the longest-lasting fillers, which can stay for up to two years. Other fillers in this area could be Restylane Lyft or Juvederm Ultra XC.

Chin

This is another location where a thick filler is especially useful, so Juvederm Volumna XC is a prime candidate. Sometimes the plastic surgeon may go in from underneath with a thinner filler, like Juvederm Ultra XC or Restylane Lyft. 

Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds, for those unaware, are essentially smile lines. They’re the indentation lines on either side of the mouth that are drawn from the nose to the tip of the lips. To solve nasolabial folds, the fillers that plastic surgeons prefer are thinner, with finer particle sizes. 

The general consensus is that Juvederm Vollure XC is a great filler for smile lines. It’s particularly good because it has strength both deep and at the surface. It’s also one of the longer-lasting fillers. 

Lips

Lips are tricky because some women want big full lips like the Kardashians, but most just want healthy-looking natural lips with a little bit of body. There’s also an important point to be made here that the lips touch things more often than the cheekbones or the chin. Specifically, they touch other people’s lips, and we want to make sure that the experience of kissing someone who has had lip filler is every bit as pleasing as kissing a natural lip – for both parties. 

For this reason, Juvederm Volbella XC is one of the best options. It feels like a normal lip. On the other hand, if someone does want Kardashian lips, then a thicker G Prime is called for, and the doctor may use Juvederm Ultra CX.

Under the Eye

Under the eye is a tricky procedure, and you want to make sure that you’re getting it from the best-trained plastic surgeon you can find. The problem is that if you use too much filler, then sunken eyes can quickly turn into baggy eyes, and this is compounded by the amount of water that is natural to the area. 

The general consensus is to use Restylane. Restylane is hydrophobic and doesn’t mix with water as much as other fillers would. 

Now that you know the best facial fillers on the market, it’s time to talk to your doctor.

Mission Statement

Doctor Jacono’s desire to become a facial plastic surgeon was solidified in grade school. There was a girl on his school bus route who was born with a cleft lip and palate deformity. Unfortunately, whenever she spoke, air and words escaped through her nose. Kids teased her and were cruel, and nobody would sit next to her on the bus, so he decided to sit with her. One day, the girl had plastic surgery and returned to school with her face repaired. Suddenly, classmates saw her face instead of her deformity and immediately treated her normally. It was at that moment that Doctor Jacono knew he wanted to fix people’s faces and change their lives. This is why he has gone on over twenty plastic surgery missions to poor countries around the world and provided free cleft lip and surgery for birth defects to over 500 children.

Because of this experience in his childhood, Doctor Jacono understands that one of our basic needs as human beings is to feel confident about our appearance. It’s is Doctor Jacono’s passion to help his patients achieve their facial aesthetic goals, creating natural appearing results to either enhance their beauty and proportion or rejuvenate their aging appearance. He is a world-renowned leader in the field of facial plastic surgery and only performs surgery on the face, not the body. He has innovated many facelift, eyelid lift, and rhinoplasty surgical techniques, publishing in leading peer reviewed literature and lecturing at plastic surgery conferences all over the world. He is committed to sharing what he has learned teaching surgeons from around the world.

His approach is to maintain your uniqueness and facial identity; it is still you just better. To do this he uses a customized, bespoke approach to each patient employing the most minimally invasive, innovative, and cutting-edge technology. Doctor Jacono has never performed the same procedure on any two of the thousands of patients he has treated. He is committed to providing his surgical expertise in a caring, supportive environment with a professional staff that has you as their focus and concern.
