Dermal Filler
Filler assessment distinguishes volume loss from under-eye bags and pigmentation. Consultation considers product selection, alternatives and serious risks.
Back to all servicesFillers are injectable materials used to change volume or contour in selected facial areas. Hyaluronic acid is one option. However, not every under-eye concern comes from volume loss. Hollows, bags and dark pigmentation need different assessments.
Op. Dr. Havva Gül Yıldız assesses the eye area and individual suitability. Mention previous fillers and products used. Also share allergies and medicines, as these can affect product and site selection.
The under-eye filler suitability and risk guide explains this area. Then read the botulinum toxin and filler guide. These address different concerns. Discuss your goals, alternatives and risks, including vessel blockage. Fillers require medical assessment.
Treatment areas and related procedures
These headings do not describe identical methods, products or outcomes. The treatment area, product ingredients and alternatives require individual assessment.

Read the related patient guideWhat is this treatment?
Dermal fillers aim to add volume to selected tissues. Hyaluronic acid fillers are gels; other fillers have different ingredients. Therefore, their effects, duration and options for removal differ.
Cheeks, lips and some facial lines are areas for assessment. However, not every product suits every area. Ask about the product name, ingredients and intended use. The FDA information on dermal fillers explains general risks and product-specific uses.
Who may be suitable?
You can seek assessment for selected volume deficits, lip contour or facial lines. However, under-eye bags and pigment-related dark circles do not always improve with filler. Existing under-eye swelling, for example, may worsen.
Always disclose active infection, product allergies or a history of severe allergy. Also share previous fillers, autoimmune conditions and bleeding problems. Safety data during pregnancy and breastfeeding are limited, so cosmetic treatment is deferred.
How is it performed?
- Examination: Assessment first considers the cause of volume loss and the area's tissues.
- Product selection: Ingredients, suitable area and quantity depend on your plan. Disclose any lidocaine allergy.
- Injection: The practitioner places the chosen product with a needle or cannula. Both carry vascular risks.
- Review: Initial swelling may affect the appearance. Therefore, discuss additional treatment after review.
Recovery
Swelling, tenderness and bruising may occur initially. However, their duration depends on the area and product. Swelling around the eyes can last longer than expected.
Follow care instructions and do not massage the area on your own initiative. Ask when to return to work and exercise. Also report new or worsening symptoms. One duration cannot describe all fillers; review helps establish whether further injections are needed.
Risks and side effects
Infection, allergic reactions, lumps, irregularities or persistent swelling may occur. Vessel blockage can also cause tissue loss and, rarely, blindness or stroke.
Seek immediate emergency assessment for visual changes, unusual pain or white, grey or blue skin discolouration. Call for emergency help for speech problems or sudden weakness too. Do not wait for a review. Hyaluronidase may be used for hyaluronic acid filler, but cannot reverse every complication. The same dissolving option does not apply to other filler materials.
Consultation and follow-up
Ophthalmologist Op. Dr. Havva Gül Yıldız assesses the eye area. Consultation can consider volume loss, eyelid structure and existing swelling together. Also ask about product information, alternatives and an emergency care plan. Choosing no procedure is an option when filler is unsuitable.
