Filler works when it restores what's been lost, not when it adds what wasn't there. The right product, in the right area, in the right amount, is the whole job.
Most filler is hyaluronic acid, a gel that occurs naturally in your skin. Once injected into specific facial compartments, it integrates with your tissue, holds water, and adds structural volume where it's been lost. The product lasts six to twenty-four months depending on the area and your metabolism. It can be dissolved if the result isn't right.
Volume comes back to areas that have deflated with time. Cheeks regain their lift. Tear troughs soften. Lips look hydrated rather than plumped. Filler can't change skin quality, can't address expression lines, and shouldn't be used to add what wasn't there. The best filler results read as rested, not done.
The wrong filler in the right place looks fine. The right filler in the wrong place doesn't. Click an area to see what we use there and why.
The jawline is structural. Filler here defines the entire lower face.
Jawline filler is some of the most structurally important work in the lower face. We use firm HA fillers and Radiesse depending on whether the goal is immediate definition or long-term restoration through biostimulation.
Voluma and Restylane Lyft are our HA choices. Radiesse builds collagen over months and is often the right choice for clients with significant restoration needs. Dosing depends on the face. Most plans start conservatively and add over a series of visits.
The chin is the lower-face anchor. Small changes here read across the whole face.
Chin filler is precise, structural work. Small changes in projection or width meaningfully affect how the entire face reads, especially in profile.
Voluma and Restylane Lyft are our HA choices for chin projection. Radiesse occasionally enters the conversation when more lift or longer duration is the goal. We dose conservatively and revisit. Better to add than to remove.
Marionettes are layered work. Filler supports. Botox lifts.
Marionette filler is a careful, layered conversation. We use small amounts of soft HA filler at the mouth corner and within the deepest part of the groove, paired with Botox in the depressor anguli oris.
Juvederm Vollure, Restylane Refyne, and RHA 3 are our preferred fillers here. The goal is structural support, not amplification. Done well, the corner lifts subtly and the line softens without changing how the smile reads.
The lip is restoration, not addition.
Lips are where filler is most often overdone, and where restraint matters most. The goal of lip filler at RNE is restoration, not amplification. We're rebuilding what time softened, not creating something that wasn't there.
We use Restylane Kysse, Juvederm Volbella, Juvederm Vollure, and Skinvive depending on what the lip needs. Kysse holds shape and reads firm. Volbella is soft and integrates smoothly for hydration and subtle volume. Vollure handles more structural work. Skinvive isn't a structural filler at all, it improves the quality of the lip skin without changing the shape, which is the right tool when the lip itself is fine but the surface texture isn't.
The fold is often the symptom of cheek deflation.
Direct filler in the nasolabial fold is one of the most over-prescribed treatments in aesthetics. The fold is often the symptom of cheek deflation, and treating the cause is more effective and more natural-looking than chasing the line.
When direct fold treatment is right, we use soft HA fillers placed superficially. Vollure, Restylane Refyne, and RHA 3 are our preferred choices. The product matters: heavier filler in this area can blunt the smile or look obvious.
The cheek is structural. Restoration over addition, always.
Cheek filler is the most common structural filler decision in aesthetics. It's also the most often over-done. Our philosophy is restoration over amplification: we place product where the face has lost volume, not where a marketing brochure suggests.
Voluma and Restylane Lyft are our HA filler choices for immediate lift. Sculptra is our choice for clients who want gradual collagen rebuilding rather than instant restoration. Radiesse enters the conversation for specific structural needs. The right product depends on your face, your goals, and your timeline. We'll discuss the difference honestly at consultation.
The temple is structural. Filler here is the most under-recognized lift in aesthetics.
Temples are one of the highest-leverage filler areas on the face and one of the most under-treated. The deflation that happens here is gradual and goes unnoticed by most clients, but its effect on the whole upper face is significant.
Our preferred products are Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Lyft for HA filler, and Sculptra for gradual collagen-stimulating volume restoration. Choice depends on goals and timeline. We'll discuss the difference at consultation and recommend what fits your face.
The under-eye is the highest-stakes filler area on the face.
Under-eye filler is among the most technically demanding work we do. We approach it with restraint and high attention to anatomy. The wrong product, the wrong layer, or too much volume creates problems that can take many months to resolve.
For the right client, the tear trough is filler's most transformative use. The face looks rested in a way that no skincare can match. For the wrong client, filler here makes things worse. The honest version of this conversation is part of what you should expect from any consult.
