Facial fillers not only reduce signs of aging but also enhance facial contours, restore balance, and bring back natural vitality. Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci combines art and anatomy in his personalized filler techniques to achieve harmonious and lasting results.
What Are Fillers and Why Are They Applied?
Fillers—known in medicine as dermal fillers—are substances composed mainly of hyaluronic acid, a skin-friendly compound naturally found in the body. They are injected into areas of the face that have lost volume or definition.
Over time, collagen production decreases, gravity takes its toll, and stress and environmental factors weaken skin elasticity. Filler treatments are performed to restore natural proportions, rejuvenate facial expression, and achieve a soft, dynamic appearance.
Facial Filler Areas and Their Effects
Facial aesthetics are about harmony, not isolation. Beauty is achieved when all facial features are in balance.
Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci’s approach focuses not only on where the filler is placed, but also on which proportions need to be restored to recreate natural harmony.
Let’s take a closer look at the main facial areas where fillers are applied and their effects:
Cheek (Midface) Fillers
The cheekbones define the triangular structure of the face. Over time, this area loses volume, leading to a sagging or tired appearance.
Purpose:
-
To support the upward lift of the face
-
To create a younger, fresher expression
-
To smooth the transition between the under-eye area and cheeks
Result:
A more defined facial contour, reduced tiredness, and improved light reflection on the skin.
Under-Eye (Tear Trough) Fillers
Hollow or dark under-eyes are often caused not by lack of sleep but by the downward shift of fat pads with aging.
Purpose:
-
To reduce hollowness
-
To brighten dark circles optically
-
To bring a more awake, energetic look
Result:
A refreshed, natural, and rested appearance.
Dr. Gökhan Semerci performs this delicate procedure with millimetric precision, as the under-eye area is one of the most sensitive zones of the face.
Nasolabial (Smile Line) Fillers
Commonly known as “laugh lines,” these folds deepen with age. The goal is not to erase them completely but to soften them while preserving natural expression.
Purpose:
-
To restore lost volume around the mouth
-
To reduce line depth
-
To rebalance the lower third of the face
Result:
Smoother transitions, a natural smile, and a fresher look.
Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are not merely about adding volume.
Today’s trend emphasizes natural shape, symmetry, and soft definition rather than exaggerated fullness.
Purpose:
-
To enhance lip contours
-
To correct asymmetry
-
To reduce dryness and fine lines
Result:
Hydrated, well-defined, yet naturally subtle lips.
Dr. Semerci carefully plans lip augmentation based on the overall facial structure and the patient’s natural expressions.
Chin Fillers (Jawline – Menton Enhancement)
The chin defines facial character and proportion.
A recessed or weak chin can disrupt balance. Chin fillers rebuild these proportions, creating a more harmonious profile.
Purpose:
-
To improve profile projection
-
To enhance the lower facial triangle
-
To sharpen the jawline definition
Result:
A stronger, more balanced, and sculpted facial outline.
Nose Fillers (Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty)
Non-surgical rhinoplasty involves precise filler injections along the bridge or tip of the nose, providing subtle yet visible improvements without surgery.
Purpose:
-
To smooth nasal irregularities or depressions
-
To slightly lift the nasal tip
-
To achieve symmetry without surgery
Result:
A naturally refined, well-balanced nose.
Dr. Gökhan Semerci prioritizes anatomical precision and safety in every application.
Temple Fillers
Often overlooked, the temples play a key role in maintaining upper-face harmony.
Hollow temples can make the face appear aged and deflated.
Purpose:
-
To restore upper-face support
-
To reduce drooping around the brows and eyes
-
To complete the overall facial oval
Result:
A lifted, youthful, and balanced upper face.
Forehead and Glabella Fillers
Forehead wrinkles mainly result from repetitive muscle activity.
In some cases, fillers are combined with Botox for optimal results.
Purpose:
-
To soften deep wrinkles
-
To fill glabellar “11 lines”
-
To create a calmer, smoother facial expression
Result:
A refreshed forehead, relaxed appearance, and youthful radiance.
The Key to Successful Fillers: Balance and Harmony
Every face has its own unique map. Filler applications require reading this map correctly.
For Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci, fillers are not simply about adding volume—they are about restoring anatomical balance and emotional expression.
Personalized Treatment Phases
-
Analytical Assessment:
The facial anatomy, light-shadow balance, skin thickness, and muscle activity are carefully analyzed. -
Customized Planning:
The amount and location of filler are decided based on the patient’s overall facial harmony. -
Natural Expression Check:
After application, facial expressions are assessed to ensure natural movement. If needed, micro-adjustments are made.
How Long Do Fillers Last?
The longevity of fillers depends on the material used, metabolism, and skin structure.
Typically, results last between 6 and 18 months. Dr. Semerci uses advanced filler technologies that retain moisture and maintain shape for a longer period while blending seamlessly into the skin.
Post-Treatment Care
Proper aftercare is as important as the treatment itself.
Dr. Gökhan Semerci recommends the following for optimal recovery:
-
Avoid makeup for the first 24 hours
-
Stay away from saunas, hammams, and solariums for 48 hours
-
Keep your head elevated while sleeping
-
Limit exaggerated facial expressions
These simple but crucial steps help the filler integrate naturally into the facial tissue.
Combination Treatments with Fillers
While fillers alone can achieve remarkable improvements, combining aesthetic techniques can further enhance results.
Dr. Semerci often incorporates the following treatments:
-
Botox: Balances muscle activity and extends filler longevity.
-
PRP and Mesotherapy: Improve skin quality and support filler structure.
-
Laser Treatments: Even out skin tone and enhance radiance.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers are suitable for anyone—regardless of age or gender—who experiences volume loss, asymmetry, or prominent wrinkles.
However, a thorough medical evaluation and proper indication are essential before treatment.
Dr. Semerci approaches every case with the principle of “analysis first, aesthetics second.”
More Than Filler—A Work of Balance
Facial fillers are not just injections—they are a form of artistry.
Each milliliter has the power to redefine facial symmetry, emotion, and identity.
Op. Dr. Gökhan Semerci’s approach focuses on achieving aesthetic excellence through natural, harmonious, and personalized results.
