Will a little filler in lower face area make 60 yr old look heavy in that area over time?

No, unless your filler is very overdone it should not make your face appear heavier. Filler treatments are temporary, lasting 12 months to 2 years depending on the filler selected. The amount of product you had injected is very conservative and would be unlikely to cause an overfilled look. We recommend treatments such as Morpheus8 to enhance your filler results. Morpheus8 can improve skin tone and texture, keeping it youthful and healthy looking.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. When considering the use of filler in the marionette jowl area, especially for older patients, it's essential to approach the treatment with care. While small amounts of filler, such as 1 ml, can provide subtle enhancement and rejuvenation without significantly altering the overall appearance, there are concerns about how fillers might affect the face over time. As we age, facial volume loss is common, and fillers can help restore some of that lost volume, but if overdone, they may lead to a heavier appearance or create an unnatural look. This is particularly relevant for older patients, whose skin may be thinner and less resilient. However, this doesn’t mean that fillers should be entirely avoided after a certain age; rather, it’s crucial to use them judiciously. I hope this helps and best of luck!
