Filler is not a treatment that simply fills the face with volume. It is a process that changes the balance, proportions and lines of the face to give back the beauty of the face you already have.
That is why the doctor's aesthetic sense and a deep understanding of facial structure and tissue are important.
At TOV Plastic Surgery Clinic, we assess each person's condition and create facial lines that are natural yet refined.
Differences in How Filler Is Injected
The face has fat divided into several compartments, surrounded by membranes, and these membranes also stretch with age. If filler is pushed into one spot without considering these anatomical factors, the filler can clump, or the weakened membrane may be unable to bear the weight and sag downward.
At TOV Plastic Surgery Clinic, even if it takes a little longer, we layer filler finely and densely across multiple layers. This creates softer facial lines with almost no clumping, and additionally helps induce a small amount of collagen production in the face.
Botox is a treatment that temporarily regulates muscle movement to ease expression wrinkles and reduce excessive muscle movement.
Rather than simply erasing wrinkles, it aims to create a more relaxed look while preserving the natural expressions of the face.
TOV Plastic Surgery thoroughly analyzes each person's facial structure and muscle development and treats only the necessary areas with the appropriate dose.
How Botox Works
Muscles that contract repeatedly when making expressions can create wrinkles in the skin over time.
Botox eases the movement of these muscles for a certain period, helping reduce expression wrinkles.
Also, when a muscle is enlarged, a more natural change in contour can be expected as the muscle is used less.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Will Botox make my expressions look awkward?
When treated with the appropriate dose in the precise location, it helps ease wrinkles while keeping your expressions natural. Customized treatment that considers each person's muscle development is more important than an excessive dose.
Q. How long do the effects last?
It varies by individual, but generally lasts about 3–6 months. Duration can differ depending on muscle development and lifestyle.
Q. Can I return to daily life right after treatment?
In most cases, you can return to daily life right after treatment. However, it is best to avoid alcohol, saunas and strenuous exercise on the day of treatment.
Q. Will I build up resistance if I keep getting Botox?
With an appropriate dose and sufficient intervals between treatments, the likelihood of developing resistance is known to be low. If repeated treatment is needed, it is best to consult the medical team and plan a cycle suited to you.
Q. How is it different from filler?
Botox regulates muscle movement to ease expression wrinkles, while filler supplements volume in hollow areas or improves contours. Depending on the wrinkles and facial condition, the two treatments are sometimes planned together.
