Lower Face Filler | Best Fillers in the Lower Face Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero
It’s absolutely possible to maintain a lower face that’s contoured, smooth and full of volume — even as we age. A great way to fulfull that beauty goal is a lower face filler injectable. It’s one of the best nonsurgical treatments to restore the skin to its youthful appearance. From thinning lips to deep nasolabial folds to lower face sagging along the jowls / jawline, a dermal filler injection can do so many things. In today’s post, Lower Face Filler | Best Fillers in the Lower Face, learn which dermal filler is right for you, courtesy of the top MedSpa in NYC:
Can You Use Fillers in the Lower Face?
A big yes! In fact, fillers are most frequently injected in the lower face. Specifically, we can inject filler to improve these areas:
- Cheekbones / cheek area
- Around the nose and mouth
- Corners of mouth / around the lips
- In the lip area / on the mouth
- Chin
- Jowls / Jawline
What’s The Best Filler for Lower Face? How Do Fillers Work?
We typically recommend a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler for lower face, including the brands Juvederm, Restylane and Belotero. Specifically, HA filler injections work to replenish lost hyaluronic acid and restore volume in the area.
However, beyond this one general recommendation, there’s no “one size fits all” approach to injecting fillers in the lower face. Specifically, each HA filler family comes in a variety of formulations. While they all use HA as their active ingredient, each formulation varies by weight and viscosity. Therefore, each formulation performs differently in the skin. Figuring out what’s best for you depends on these factors:
Area on the Lower Face to Be Corrected
Typically, areas of the face that require more structure need thicker, heavier formulations (for example the cheeks). On the other hand, areas of the lower face with more mobility require a more flexible and lighter formulation (such as the lips).
The Extent of Skin Laxity on the Face
Thicker formulations are better suited for loose, saggy skin. Typically, sagging skin happens:
- During the natural course of aging
- Due to individual lifestyle factors (think smoking and diet) or
- Due to sun damage.
The greater the skin laxity, the greater the need for a thicker formulation. As a result, a sturdier structure will rejuvenate saggy skin.

Will Cheek Filler Lift Lower Face? What Fillers Work for Lower Face Sagging?
So there’s an interesting thing about fillers for lower face that often surprises our clients. As you’ve been reading, you might’ve been thinking “the cheeks aren’t part of the lower face, so why are you including them in a post about lower face fillers?” Here’s the answer: yes, cheek filler injections happen at specific points along the cheekbone. However, there is a connection between the cheeks and the lower face. Specifically, the cheekbones act as a scaffold for the skin to hang smoothly from the cheeks downward. As we age, the cheeks suffer bone and soft tissue loss. As a result of this loss, the skin no longer has a supportive structure to hold it in place. Thus, it starts to sag and slide south. Depending on the individual, we can experience everything from loose, sagging jowls to deep creases and folds around the nose and/or mouth. So, yes, cheek filler will lift the lower face and restore the skin in this area. Specifically, by correcting the cheeks with an HA filler, we can get rid of saggy jowls, as well as restore the coveted “inverted triangle of youth”. An example of the best cheek filler to achieve this goal is Restylane Defyne.
How Long Do Lower Face Fillers Last? What’s the Longest Lasting Filler?
Dermal Fillers are temporary. That means that when a filler wears off, you’ll need to return for additional treatment, in order to maintain results. Typically, filler results last anywhere between 6-18 months, depending on the filler. Other factors also determine the longevity of the filler including:
- Area of treatment, e.g. where injectable is used.
- How many units / syringes of product were used during treatment. Typically, full correction requires less maintenance.
- Individual factors, such as how quickly your body absorbs the product.
