What happens after getting filler injections? To understand this, we need to know that fillers work by adding volume to areas that have lost it, such as sunken or hollow spots on the face. This loss often happens due to bone shrinkage, sagging skin, and a decrease in fat and collagen under the skin, especially as people age. This results in a tired and older appearance.
Filler injections are a great solution for making the face look younger and more vibrant again. This procedure provides immediate visible changes without the need for recovery time, unlike surgical procedures.
Fillers are substances that add volume. There are many types of fillers, but the one that dissolves naturally in the body and is approved by the Ministry of Public Health is Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is found in the body in skin tissues. It binds with collagen protein and holds water in cells, keeping the skin hydrated and firm. When HA meets water, it expands into a gel.
Dermatologists use HA injections to fill deep lines on the face, making it look fuller and more youthful. The water-holding ability of HA fillers helps make the face look younger and more radiant.
Fillers help fix deep wrinkles from aging skin, making lines on the face, like smile lines, under-eye hollows, and marionette lines by the mouth, look smoother and fuller naturally.
Fillers can also fix tired faces from dark under-eyes, flat cheeks, sunken temples, and hollow cheeks. After injection, these areas look fuller and more balanced, giving the face more dimension and shape.
Fillers injected into the top skin layer help make the skin there more hydrated and healthier because of HA's water-holding ability. There are now special fillers made just for improving skin.
Worries about a tired, aged face, and a short, round face will disappear when you see the results of fillers, which last for months to years. You can feel more confident during this time.
Fillers help stop signs of aging, improve skin quality, and make the face firmer. They are safe and don't stay in the body if you get them from a skilled doctor at a trustworthy clinic.
The main problems under the eyes that make the face look tired are dark circles from enlarged veins and deep hollows from skull structure, genetics, aging, and lifestyle.
Injecting fillers to fill these hollows makes the under-eye area look smoother. Fillers also hydrate and brighten the skin there, making the face look less tired and younger.
Having very sunken temples can make the face look uneven, with high cheekbones and a gaunt look, which some people don't like. You can choose to inject fillers in the temples to fix this.
After injecting fillers in the temples with the right amount, you will immediately see a more balanced face, a more oval shape, and a softer look by making the cheekbones less prominent.
Having sunken cheeks is the same. If someone likes a sharp, defined look, they might not worry. But for those who see sunken cheeks as a problem because it makes the face look uneven, fillers can add volume to the cheeks for a more balanced and pleasing look.
One area we often overlook that makes the face look tired is the front cheeks. As we age, fat and collagen in the skin decrease, and bones shrink. This flattens the front cheeks, reducing facial dimension and causing sagging that creates deeper smile lines or nasolabial folds.
Injecting fillers in the front cheeks, or apple cheeks, lifts the sagging cheek, adds volume, and creates a more dimensional and vibrant look. It's a recommended way to make the face look younger and less tired, often done with under-eye fillers for better results.
Skin sagging from decreased fat and collagen also creates deep lines beside the mouth, called smile lines. Smile lines when smiling are normal, but if they appear when the face is at rest, it can make the face look older, harsher, and less friendly.
After injecting fillers here, the smile lines look fuller, making the face look younger and friendlier, boosting confidence in daily life.
The deep lines below the mouth corners, called marionette lines, resemble the lines on a puppet's hinged jaw. These lines are common in older people or those with significant facial sagging.
When our facial skin is firm and full, deep lines like smile lines and marionette lines are less likely to form.
Fillers can also shape and plump the lips for beauty in various styles, depending on personal preference. They can fix deep lip lines, dry lips, uneven lip shape, flat lips, and downturned lip corners.
The doctor will assess the amount of filler needed based on the lip shape and specific lip issues. Lip fillers are popular because they change lip shape without surgery, no scars, and no downtime after the injection.
Chin fillers work the same way as temple and sunken cheek fillers, adding volume to make the chin longer and proportional to the face.
From our experience with thousands of cases, most people don’t have just one facial problem. This is especially true for working people aged 25-30 and up, who start to show signs of aging on their face, such as sagging skin, deep wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, and dull skin.
So, we need to use fillers in several areas to keep looking good and complete for as long as possible. If you are unsure where or how to improve your face, it’s best to get a detailed evaluation from a doctor at the clinic before deciding.

Q: How many days will the filler be swollen? When will I see the results?
A: You will see changes right after getting the filler, but there may be some minor swelling from the needle. The swelling will slowly go away in 7-14 days. After 4 weeks, the filler will fully blend with your skin and look more natural.
Q: How long does it take to get fillers?
A: It takes about 20-30 minutes to get fillers, depending on the area. If you want to use numbing cream, you should add another 30-45 minutes to the time.
Q: Can I get fillers often?
A: You can get fillers as often as you need without any danger, especially in areas that move a lot, like the lips or smile lines. If the filler starts to dissolve and you want it to look full like before, you can get it topped up again.
Q: Which filler brand is the best?
A: Each filler brand has its own strengths, and it depends on your skin type and what you need. At MEGA CLINIC, we offer many filler brands, including Neuramis, Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero Revive, which is great for improving skin texture. If you’re not sure which brand is right for you, you can consult with our doctor to help choose the best one before the injection.
Q: Are fillers dangerous?
A: Fillers are not dangerous if they are real, genuine fillers. Genuine fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which naturally exists in the body and breaks down over time. It’s important to only get fillers from a certified clinic and a doctor with experience.
Q: What does an allergic reaction to fillers look like?
A: Genuine fillers are safe for the body, so allergic reactions to them are very rare. Usually, allergic reactions only happen with fake fillers. That’s why it’s important to choose high-quality fillers from a trusted clinic to avoid this issue.
