Forehead Fillers

Forehead fillers can dramatically improve your facial impression by adding natural volume. Learn about the procedure, design, and why combining it with Botox yields the best results.

Forehead Fillers

Forehead Fillers – The Key Point That Changes 1/3 of Your Facial Impression

The forehead is the widest area of the face, taking up about one-third of it.

Neither too protruding nor too flat,

👉 when it has just the right amount of volume,

it creates a feminine, soft, and much more youthful impression.

The celebrities who I personally think have beautiful foreheads are

Han Ga-in, Han Ji-min, and IU 😊

How Forehead Volume Affects Your Impression

If the forehead protrudes too much →

It gives an artificial impression, looking like someone who ‘obviously had forehead fillers.’

If the forehead is too sunken →

The bone contours become prominent, creating a fierce or masculine look.

Therefore, among filler treatment areas,

👉 the key points for creating a youthful effect are:

1️⃣ Forehead

2️⃣ Front cheekbones

3️⃣ Sunken under-eyes

4️⃣ Sunken side cheeks.

Among these, because the forehead takes up 1/3 of the face,

✔️ it is the most noticeable

✔️ and creates the most dramatic change.

In fact, during the COVID-19 pandemic,

because the forehead was the most visible area not covered by a mask,

forehead filler procedures were incredibly popular at that time.


Anesthesia Points for Forehead Fillers

For forehead fillers, anesthesia is administered at a total of 6 points.

① Supratrochlear nerve

② Supraorbital nerve

③ Zygomaticotemporal nerve (light green box)

👉 With 3 points on each side, a total of 6 anesthetic injections are given.

① Supratrochlear nerve

② Supraorbital nerve

③ Zygomaticotemporal nerve (light green box)

✔️ The only painful moment is during the anesthetic injection.

✔️ After that, rather than pain,

it is just the slightly uncomfortable feeling and ‘crunching’ sound of the cannula passing through.

Compared to other areas, the forehead

requires a larger volume of anesthesia

and is more prone to swelling from the use of a cannula.

👉 Therefore, we design the procedure taking both anesthesia swelling and cannula swelling into account.


The Core of Forehead Filler Design

In the past,

some people preferred a volume that ‘obviously looked like fillers,’

but nowadays, most people

👉 want a natural look that seems like their own original forehead, as if they haven’t had anything done.

Forehead filler design

So, the design focuses on

centering around the most sunken areas

and blending smoothly with the surrounding areas

to create an overall seamless curve.


Before and After Forehead Fillers

Because the forehead is a large space,

it is difficult to create overall volume with just 1–2cc like lip fillers.

✔️ The width and length of the forehead,

✔️ the degree of hollowness,

✔️ and the desired volume

are all considered when determining the dosage.

👉 Usually, 4–5cc is the most commonly used amount.



The Answer to a Natural Forehead is the ‘D-Line’

This is a profile picture of me taken today.

When viewed from the side,

it is neither too protruding

nor too flat.

👉 A volume in the shape of a capital ‘D’.

This is the most natural forehead line that you won’t get tired of looking at over time.


Why We Recommend Forehead & Frown Line Botox with Forehead Fillers

1️⃣ Prevents Filler Migration

For those who have a lot of muscle movement in the forehead and frown lines,

after getting fillers,

some areas may look sunken

while others look clumped,

creating an uneven appearance.

I explain this by comparing it to 👉 the mudflats of the West Coast.

Just as the mudflats repeatedly bulge and sink with the tides,

significant muscle movement causes the filler to migrate.

Therefore,

👉 I highly recommend combining forehead and frown line Botox for those with strong muscle movement.


2️⃣ Increases Longevity

The more you use your muscles,

the faster the filler is depleted.

By reducing muscle movement with Botox,

✔️ the longevity of the filler increases,

✔️ and as a result, your satisfaction will also be higher.


3️⃣ Reduces Unevenness

The forehead is

a wide area

with almost no fat, meaning the bone can be felt directly.

Because of this structure, it is easy to feel slight unevenness after fillers.

When combined with Botox,

fine lines are smoothed out

and the skin becomes taut,

👉 completing a much smoother D-shaped volume.
