Dermal Fillers

<strong>Dermal fillers</strong> are a highly effective medical procedure that replaces the volume lost in the skin due to aging and gravity, eliminating sagging and hollows. <strong>Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan</strong> erases passive wrinkles (deep lines) and gives your face a golden ratio with quality fillers applied by considering your facial anatomy. With this procedure, which is extremely safe when performed by expert hands, you will gain a younger and more energetic appearance in a matter of minutes.

Safety and Hygiene: What to Look Out For?

Filler applications must strictly be performed by a <strong>Plastic Surgeon</strong> or <strong>Dermatologist</strong>. Places that use the same syringe for multiple patients to reduce costs due to commercial concerns should absolutely be avoided.
<strong>Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan</strong> uses FDA-approved and sealed products for every patient. The filler package is opened in front of you, and the barcode of the applied product is shared with you. If there is any leftover product, this amount is safely stored to be used only for you in your follow-up appointment (touch-up) 15-20 days later.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The permanence of fillers varies depending on the quality of the material used, the mobility of the application area (for example, lips are more mobile), and the person’s lifestyle (smoking, alcohol, sleep patterns).
The permanence period of a quality filler is on average between <strong>9 and 18 months</strong>. Even if the filler completely melts, your skin will never return to its oldest, worst state thanks to the healing effect it creates in the lower tissue of the skin. The permanence period extends with regularly repeated procedures.

How is Lip Filler Done and What is the Process?

Lip filler is done to add volume to lips that thin with age, correct asymmetries, and clarify the contour. It is painless thanks to anesthetic creams applied before the procedure and takes an average of 30-40 minutes.
<strong>Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan</strong> listens to the patient’s wishes but aims for the golden ratio that best suits your face (harmony between the upper and lower lip) by avoiding “overly inflated and artificial” appearances. There may be slight edema for the first few days after the procedure, but your lips will gain a natural and attractive appearance in a short time.

Nasolabial (Smile Lines) and Cheekbone Fillers

The deep lines descending from the edge of the nose to the corners of the mouth are called <strong>Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)</strong>. By using a <strong>double-layer filler technique</strong> in this area, Op. Dr. Görkem Çalışkan both softens the depths and lifts the cheek area upwards (creates a lifting effect).
Cheekbone filler, on the other hand, prevents sagging by eliminating volume loss in the cheeks. When combined with delicate touches to the tear trough, your face gains a fresh and vibrant expression, far from tiredness.

Jawline and Chin Filler

<strong>Jawline Filler</strong> clarifies the entire jawline starting from the jaw corners and gives the face a much sharper, attractive “V” shape (or a masculine line).
<strong>Chin Filler</strong> brings the recessed or small-looking chin forward, providing profile harmony with the nose and lips. The permanence of these comfortable procedures, which take about 10 minutes, is an average of 12-24 months.

Non-Surgical Nose Aesthetics (Nose Filler)

It is a great alternative for patients who complain about nasal humps, slight deformities, or a droopy nasal tip and shy away from surgery. <strong>Nose filler</strong> does not enlarge the nose; on the contrary, it makes the nose look straighter and more aesthetic by equalizing the hump and hollows. It slightly lifts the nasal tip, and its permanence on the bone continues for up to 18-24 months.

What Are the Side Effects of Fillers and Who Should Avoid Them?

The filler procedure is quite safe when performed in expert hands. Only slight bruises or edema, which pass completely within the first 2-7 days, may be seen. However, when applied to the wrong layer (intravascular) by non-experts, very serious risks such as tissue death (necrosis) can arise; therefore, the choice of physician is of vital importance.
It is objectionable to apply fillers to people with suppressed immune systems, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and people with active infections (acne, herpes, etc.) in the area to be treated.
