When it comes to enhancing facial features with injectables, one size doesn’t fit all. At his Beverly Hills practice, board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gerald Minniti uses his surgical precision and deep understanding of anatomy to guide patients through filler selection. Whether you’re enhancing your lips or restoring volume under the eyes, personalized planning ensures natural, balanced results.
Not All Fillers Are Created Equal
There are dozens of injectable dermal fillers on the market—but that doesn’t mean they’re interchangeable. Some are firmer and better for deep structural support; others are soft and spreadable, ideal for delicate areas.
Understanding the science behind each product is key when learning how to choose the right dermal filler. The best results come from matching the filler’s properties to the treatment area and tissue type.
Best Fillers for Specific Facial Areas
Wondering which filler is best for lips, cheeks, or under eyes? Here’s a general breakdown of top choices based on performance and safety:
- Lips: Softer fillers like Juvéderm® Volbella or Restylane® Kysse offer smooth volume and hydration without stiffness.
- Cheeks: Firmer options like Juvéderm® Voluma or Restylane® Lyft provide lift and restore structure for a contoured look.
- Under eyes: Lightweight, smooth fillers such as Restylane® or Belotero Balance reduce hollows and dark circles without puffiness.
Choosing the wrong filler in the wrong place can lead to lumps, migration, or an unnatural look. That’s why working with a specialist who understands both product chemistry and facial dynamics is essential.
How Dr. Minniti Personalizes Filler Plans
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Minniti doesn’t rely on cookie-cutter treatments. Every filler plan begins with a detailed consultation that considers:
- Skin quality and facial structure
- Age-related volume loss
- Facial symmetry and proportions
- Your goals for enhancement or rejuvenation
Each session is tailored to your unique anatomy—ensuring results that are both subtle and stunning. Learn more about his approach on the Facial Fillers Service Page.
Why Does Product Selection Matter with Facial Fillers?
Even the most skilled injector can’t achieve ideal results with the wrong product. That’s why expert filler tips from Dr. Minniti often focus on product selection as much as technique.
He carefully evaluates each brand’s performance, longevity, and how it behaves over time. In some cases, he may even layer different fillers to address multiple concerns in one area—for example, combining lift with smoothness in the cheeks or pairing structure with flexibility in the lips.
Choosing the right product reduces the risk of side effects and helps maintain results that age gracefully—an essential consideration for anyone seeking long-term facial balance and harmony.
