Dermal fillers—also called soft-tissue fillers—are quick, injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth lines, and refine facial contours. If you’re asking, “Where should I get fillers?” this guide walks through the most common injection sites, what each area can (and can’t) do, and how to match treatment to your goals.
The most-requested filler spots (and what they’re for)
Lips
Under-eyes (Tear Troughs)
Cheeks (Midface)
Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)
Marionette Lines & Corners of the Mouth
Chin
Jawline
Temples
Nose (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
Perioral Lines & Lip Border
“Where do fillers go,” exactly?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are placed in precise layers (from deep on bone for structure to more superficial for fine lines). HA binds water, restoring volume where you’ve lost collagen and fat. Over time, your body gradually metabolizes HA—how long it lasts depends on the product, placement depth, area of the face, and your metabolism.
How to choose your injection sites (by concern)
“I look tired, even when I’m rested.”
Under-eye hollows ± cheek support.“My face looks flatter/deflated.”
Cheeks first; consider temples and jawline for balance.“My profile feels off.”
Chin for projection; jawline for definition; subtle nose refinement if appropriate.“These lines around my mouth bother me.”
Cheek support → nasolabial folds; marionette lines/corners for downturn.“I want natural-looking, fuller lips.”
Lips + border refinement; address perioral lines if needed.
A good plan usually starts with support (cheeks/chin/jawline), then detail work (lips, lines). Treating the foundation first often means less product overall and more natural results.
FAQs
Where can you have dermal fillers?
Common sites include lips, under-eyes, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin, jawline, temples, perioral lines, and nose (for non-surgical refinements).
How many syringes will I need?
It depends on your baseline anatomy and goals. Many first-time full-face plans use 2–4+ syringes across multiple areas, often placed over more than one visit for a measured, natural build.
Can I combine areas in one session?
Yes—pairing foundation (cheeks/chin/jaw) with detail (lips/lines) is common. Your injector will prioritize to keep results balanced.
Start with a tailored plan
The best results come from matching product type and depth to your anatomy and goals—this is not one-size-fits-all. At Dermacare Medical Aesthetics, our injectors use fillers strategically to restore structure, refine features, and keep your expression natural.
