Which filler is the right one for you?
No filler pick here, only a way to compare
This page does not pick a filler for you. The right product depends on the area, your goal and your clinician's judgment, so the useful move is to learn the options by name and ask the clinic why it suggests one over another. A quote that does not name the product cannot be compared with any other.
Where to read about the options
Start with the Cleveland Clinic guide to dermal fillers, which is written for patients, then compare it with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery page on soft-tissue fillers for aging skin and the regulator's FDA page on soft tissue fillers. If you plan to ask about a hyaluronic acid product, the systematic review of adverse events after hyaluronic acid filler injections is worth a skim so your questions are specific.
How product choice shows up in price
The product name, the amount used and the number of visits are the parts of a filler quote that move. If a clinic gives only a total, ask it to split the total into those parts so you can compare like with like.
Five questions for every filler quote
Ask each clinic:
- Which product do you suggest for my goal, and why not the alternatives?
- How is the amount decided, and how is it priced?
- Is more than one visit needed, and what does each cost?
- What aftercare is included?
- Is the number a firm quote or an estimate?
Who decides the product
Product choice is a clinical call this pricing site does not make, so a licensed clinician decides which product fits you.
