Is 24 too young to start fillers?

Question

Is 24 too young to start fillers? Overtime will it back fire on me and start making my face look weird ? I get my marionette lines done and that’s my biggest concern over time. Thanks

There is no specific age limits for fillers. Since they are extremely safe there has never been much in terms of limitation of use. Obviously, common sense must prevail (no one would give filler to a young child for cosmetic reasons) in their application. If you consider that chin and cheek implants, as well as Rhinoplasty, otoplasty, or Septoplasty are done on teenagers, then giving fillers is certainly ok in your 20s. There is no evidence that filler stretches out the skin permanently. This is an urban legend without any medical support.

Hi @sophiedog1. 24 years of age is not too young to start dermal fillers. You should also start a skin care regimen including Vitamin C, Retinol, and sunscreen. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

There is no specific timing to do fillers. There is a wide range of age to use fillers, they are use for different purposes like adding volume or fadding wrinkles or creases. Youn age patients do filler frequently to add lip and chin volume. Also non surgical nose job is seeked by youn people who don't want a formal nose job. In older patients they fill up their creases and age lines. Hope this answers your question

Thank you for your question. 24 years old is absolutely not too young. Deciding when to begin cosmetic treatment is a personal matter and completely up to you. Most manufacturers recommend fillers be used in adults over the age of 18 or 21. That being said, a consultation is necessary to determine which product is best for you.

There is technically no age minimum for fillers. When patients begin with filler, it is important to see someone who can discuss with you the aging process with the goal of helping you with the process. This will ensure that only enough material is used to achieve the goals that you desire! I wish you success with your filler experience! Feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance!

There is no specific age for when an adult should start filler treatments. If you need it are a candidate for treatment as confirmed by an experienced injector, you can have the treatment. Natural looking results should of course be a priority.

Lawrence Janowski, MD · Answer

Age is not so much the consideration as what is happening with the skin.  If volume loss is apparent, fillers can be done safely, tastefully and with natural results, even in patients in their twenties.  Marionette lines are certainly a great area to treat if wrinkles and/or volume loss are developing.

Any aesthetic procedure is a personal journey.  You decide when you are ready.  We all have things we would like to improve about ourselves.  Typically, I don't treat anyone under 18.  Please make sure to do your research on your injector.  Good Luck.
