The Most Popular Filler Areas (It’s Not Just Lips)

In this short, Lily Zelaya, RN — an aesthetic nurse injector at Express Med Spa in La Grange — breaks down the three facial areas clients ask about most: under-eye hollows, nasolabial folds, and jowls along the jawline. She explains what is actually driving each change — volume loss and loss of skin laxity — and why all three are treatable.

We are so lucky to live in a time where these three things are treatable. Let’s talk about the top three areas clients come to me most frustrated about, and what is actually going on.

Number one would be under-eye hollowness, that sunken, shadowy look under the eyes. It’s not just tiredness, it’s also volume loss. The fat pads beneath the eye deflate as we age, creating that dark, hollow appearance. It’s very frustrating because it makes people look exhausted when they are not.

Number two, nasolabial folds, those lines that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth. When the volume in the mid face drops and goes downwards, it creates this nasolabial fold. For some people it gets very deep. Clients come in pointing at this line, but usually the issue resides above it, due to that maxilla bone changing with the aging process.

And number three, jowls, our lovely favorite jowls, that occur right here along the mandible. As the skin and the tissue along the jawline loses its elasticity and support, it starts to sag or hypertrophy along the jawline. Clients describe it as looking heavier or even older in the lower face.

Here’s the thing: all of these come down to volume loss and loss of skin laxity. The good news is that they are treatable. If any of these sound familiar to you, drop a comment down below and let’s talk about what’s possible for you.
