What Types of Dermal Fillers Are Right for You?

Dermal fillers are injectable materials that can be used to fill up the face, fill deep lines, and contour the face. There are five types of dermal fillers that are used in clinical settings: hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, and autologous fat transfer, which have varying durations of action from 6 to 24 months depending on the area of the face.

According to Dr Harikiran Chekuri,  a renowned Plastic Surgeon,
“Dermal fillers are not a one-size-fits-all treatment. The right product, placed at the right depth, in the right facial zone is what separates a natural result from an unnatural one.”

Different fillers are designed for different facial zones, and selecting the correct type is what ensures safe, natural-looking outcomes.

• Fat Transfer Fillers: Uses the patient’s own fat harvested from another body area, offering a fully natural and longer-lasting volumizing option.
• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: The most commonly used type, suitable for lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows, and fully reversible with hyaluronidase if needed.
• Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: A thicker filler used for deeper lines, jawline contouring, and cheek volume with results lasting 12 to 18 months.
• Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: A collagen stimulator used for gradual facial volume restoration, ideal for patients with significant volume loss over time.
• Polymethylmethacrylate Fillers: A semi-permanent option used for deep nasolabial folds and acne scars in patients seeking longer-lasting correction.

Understanding these differences helps patients choose the most appropriate dermal filler treatment for their goals

• Duration of Results: Hyaluronic acid lasts 6–12 months, while calcium hydroxylapatite and fat transfer can last 18–24 months or longer.
• Reversibility: Hyaluronic acid fillers are the only type that can be dissolved if results are unsatisfactory or complications arise.
• Treatment Area Suitability: Thin fillers work best for delicate areas like lips and tear troughs, while thicker fillers suit structural areas like the jaw and cheeks.
• Downtime and Recovery: Most filler types involve minimal downtime of 24–48 hours, though fat transfer requires a short recovery due to the harvesting procedure.
