Filler treatments are performed using hyaluronic acid–based agents, a substance naturally found in the body with the remarkable ability to retain up to one thousand times its weight in water. Performed by Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek, these applications rejuvenate tissues that lose volume over time and help reconstruct the youthful facial triangle—without the need for surgical intervention.
The goal is not to create a stiff, mask-like appearance, but to reveal the most balanced, energetic, and natural-looking profile in harmony with each individual’s unique anatomical proportions.
How Is the Filler Procedure Performed?
Behind every successful filler treatment lies a meticulous “facial mapping” process. Before each procedure, Dr. Erkek performs a golden ratio analysis of the face and determines the appropriate injection depth (subdermal or supraperiosteal).
The treatment takes approximately 20–30 minutes and is performed with topical anesthetic creams to ensure maximum comfort. The biocompatible gels used integrate instantly into the tissue, providing a smooth and natural transition. While results are visible immediately, it typically takes 1–2 weeks for the filler to fully settle as it binds with water within the tissue.
Personalized Filler Types: For Every Area Your Face Needs
The 2026 aesthetic trend supports the “total face” approach. Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek offers customized protocols for different facial areas:
- Lip Filler: Focuses not only on volume enhancement but also on defining the lip borders (Cupid’s bow) and correcting asymmetries. Following the “less but effective” principle, results are hydrated, elegant, and far from an overfilled appearance.
- Jawline and Chin Filler: Enhances definition in the lower face and strengthens profile harmony. This treatment also helps improve the appearance of the submental (under-chin) area, creating a sharper, more charismatic, and youthful jawline.
- Midface and Cheek Filler: Restores volume lost due to gravity, lifting the cheeks for a natural lifting effect. Replenishing this area can instantly eliminate a tired facial expression.
- Temple Filler: With aging, the temples may hollow, contributing to brow descent. Subtle enhancements in this area create a refreshed and subtly lifted overall appearance.
- Nasolabial Filler: Softens the deep lines extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, which can create a fatigued look.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fillers
How long do fillers last? Longevity depends on the mobility of the treated area. In highly mobile areas such as the lips, results typically last 8–12 months. In more static areas like the chin, cheeks, and jawline, results can last up to 16 months. With regular maintenance treatments, longevity may increase.
Will it be obvious that I had fillers? Thanks to Dr. Mustafa Eray Erkek’s layering technique, the filler integrates seamlessly with the tissue. People around you are more likely to think you look well-rested rather than noticing you had a procedure.
When can I return to social life after the procedure? With minimal risk of swelling or bruising, most patients resume their daily activities immediately after leaving the clinic. Avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours and refraining from intense physical exercise for 48 hours helps optimize results.
