Medical Aesthetics

Our Philosophy: Elegant, Natural and Balance-Oriented Aesthetics

Valinor Dental Clinic‘At , medical aesthetics practices approach facial anatomy, facial dynamism, and upper and lower facial proportions with respect, approaching them as if crafting a work of art. Our goal isn't to "change" your face; it's to achieve a rested, vibrant, fresh, and balanced expression. All our aesthetic plans are meticulously crafted based on detailed photo and video analyses, profile and proportional readings, your skin type, facial expression habits, and personal goals.

1. Assessment & Personal Planning: Your First Step (First Appointment)

Your first appointment at Valinor lays the foundation for your aesthetic journey:

  • Anamnesis & Safety Protocol: Your systemic diseases, medications you use (anticoagulants, isotretinoin, etc.), allergies and past aesthetic procedures are evaluated in detail.
  • Detailed Facial Analysis:
    • Static Proportions: Your forehead, midface and lower face heights, face width and mandibular contour are examined.
    • Dynamic Analysis: Your facial expressions such as laughing, talking and surprise are evaluated through video recordings and the harmony of your face in motion is observed.
    • Skin and Soft Tissues: Your skin thickness, elasticity, existing volume losses and shadowing areas are determined.
  • Clarifying Goals: Your concrete expectations such as “a more rested expression,” “a more defined jawline,” or “moist and natural fullness in the lips” are clarified.
  • Stepwise Protocol: With the principle of “little but right,” a gradual progression plan is created in a single session without overdoing it.
  • Photo-Video Recording: Your pre-procedure condition is digitally recorded for baseline and control comparisons.

2. Botox (Neuromodulator) – A Rational Approach to Dynamic Lines

2.1 Mechanism & Areas of Impact

Botox works by temporarily reducing acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, calming muscle activity. This smooths out dynamic wrinkles that develop over time and delays the formation of new ones.

Application Areas:

  • Upper Face: Forehead lines (frontal), between the eyebrows (glabella), crow's feet around the eyes and nose bridge (bunny lines).
  • Mid-Lower Face (Selected Cases): “Gummy smile” (microdosing of upper lip elevators), drooping nose tip (nasal tip), corner of mouth (DAO muscles), “orange peel jaw” (mentalis muscle) and masseter (bruxism, facial thinning).
  • Neck & Sweating: Platysma bands (neck lines) and hyperhidrosis (axillae/palms/soles – as indicated).

2.2 Application & Permanence

  • Application Time: It usually takes 10-15 minutes and is done precisely with thin needles.
  • Effect Starts within 3-5 days and is fully established within 10-14 days.
  • Duration: Average 4-6 months (may vary depending on individual factors, muscle thickness and dosage).

2.3 Valinor's Special Areas in Botox Application

  • Bruxism & Masseter Botox: Slims the face width by softening muscle hypertrophy, provides relief from jaw and headaches (with splint and occlusion analysis if necessary).
  • Gummy Smile Treatment: A more aesthetic smile is achieved by balancing the excess of facial expressions with microdoses; it can be integrated with pink aesthetics or orthodontic treatments when necessary.

2.4 Aftercare & Safety

  • Post-Procedure Care: Avoid straining facial expressions for the first 4-6 hours, and avoid massage, sauna, or intense sports for 24 hours.
  • Mild Symptoms: Pinpoint redness or occasional bruising may occur; these usually resolve spontaneously within 24-72 hours.
  • Contraindications: Not applicable to individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have active infections or certain neuromuscular diseases.

3. Dermal Filler – Balance of Volume, Contour and Light

3.1 Basic Information

Dermal fillers are aesthetic procedures that add volume, contour, and moisture by injecting biocompatible gel materials into the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and/or periosteum. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are primarily preferred due to their safety and reversibility. (They can be dissolved with a special enzyme if necessary.)

3.2 Regional and Technical Pairings

  • Mid Face / Cheekbones & Cheeks: Eliminates the “tired expression” and reduces the load on the nasolabial folds.
  • Nasolabial & Marionette Lines: Provides a natural transition by softening the grooves and shadows.
  • Jawline & Chin Tip: Optimizes profile balance, elegantly defining the chin-neck distinction.
  • Lip Filling: Defines the lip lines, softens vertical lines and provides a natural moisture-focused fullness; an understated design is aimed.
  • Nose Filler (Non-Surgical Camouflage): In selected cases, minor irregularities in the nose are optically corrected.
  • Under-Eye Filler (Selected Cases): Reduces shadowing with the right density and cannula technique. However, it may not be suitable for every patient.

Technique Notes: Different injection techniques such as microbolus, retrotracing, fanning, blanching; needle/cannula combinations are used and applied with a planning respecting vascular risk maps.

3.3 Impact & Permanence

  • Effect: It becomes visible immediately after the procedure and takes its natural shape within the first week.
  • Durability: 6-18 months (varies depending on the applied area, skin type, product features and lifestyle).
  • Application Principle: With the “phased construction” approach, refinement is achieved in 1-3 sessions and natural results compatible with the tissue are achieved without the “filler look”.

3.4 Security & Complication Management

  • Common Symptoms: Temporary swelling, bruising and tenderness (usually resolves within 3-7 days).
  • Rare Risks: Valinor has an emergency protocol and enzyme set ready against very rare complications such as vascular compression/embolism; ultrasound-guided evaluation can be performed in necessary cases.
  • Unsuitable conditions: It is not applied to people who are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an active infection or a history of severe allergies.

4. Combined Protocols & “Dose Ethics”

At Valinor, our aesthetic approach aims for holistic beauty:

  • Botox + Filler Synchronization: While dynamic lines are softened, volume and light balance are simultaneously achieved.
  • Minimalism: Natural results are achieved with fine, measured touches; “overload” in a single session is avoided.
  • Male Facial Aesthetics: The dose and plan are customized to the male anatomy, taking into account smoother, masculine contours.
  • Ethnicity & Age-Based Approach: Personalized applications are made according to factors such as skin thickness, fat pads and bone support.

Botox & Fillers: Frequently Asked Questions

A) General Questions

  1. What is your goal in medical aesthetics?
    A subtle, natural freshness that respects the facial anatomy. Each plan is personalized and implemented in a phased approach.
  2. Does the same protocol apply to everyone?
    No. A completely customized plan is made based on gender, age, skin thickness, facial expression strength, facial proportions and personal goals.
  3. Can I return to social life on the same day?
    Yes. You can return to work immediately after Botox. With filler treatments, mild swelling/bruising may occur, but can usually be camouflaged with makeup.
  4. Are the procedures permanent?
    No. Botox is effective for an average of 4-6 months, while fillers are effective for 6-18 months (depending on the person and the application area).
  5. Is there a risk of looking too artificial?
    We aim for natural results with our principle of dose ethics and layer respect; an “eye-catching” appearance is strictly avoided.

B) Botox – Mechanism & Indications

  1. How does Botox work?
    It temporarily reduces the transmission at the neuromuscular junction, thus softening the lines and delaying the formation of new lines.
  2. Which areas does it apply to?
    Forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, bridge of the nose, selected lower facial muscles, platysma bands and sweating areas in hyperhidrosis.
  3. Is it useful for bruxism?
    Yes. Reducing tone in the masseter muscle can reduce teeth clenching and grinding. This can be integrated with a splint or occlusion analysis if necessary.
  4. Permanent solution for gummy smile?
    It provides temporary improvement (3-4 months). If there is an anatomical cause, it can be combined with periodontal or orthodontic methods.
  5. Is a brow lift possible?
    With microdosing and balance, a slight lifting effect can be achieved on the eyebrow line (depending on expression and anatomy).

C) Botox – Application & Aftercare

  1. How long does it take effect?
    It starts to set in 3-5 days and is fully established in 10-14 days.
  2. What should I pay attention to on the first day?
    Staying upside down, making intense facial expressions, massage, sauna, and intense sports should be avoided for 24 hours.
  3. What if there is a bruise?
    It is temporary and can be camouflaged with ice application and makeup.
  4. How often should I have it done?
    Protection can be provided with lower doses at regular intervals, on average every 4-6 months.
  5. Is there a dull expression?
    Our goal is to preserve natural facial expressions; with the right dosage and application points, we soften your facial expressions instead of “freezing” them.

D) Filling – Indication & Design

  1. What does a filler fix?
    Volume loss, deep furrows, shadowing, lip borders and moisture; chin-jawline contour, midface projection.
  2. Does the face “swell” with fillers?
    No. The aim is to achieve natural, tissue-compatible results through gradual and controlled applications.
  3. Does lip filler always look artificial?
    With the right ratio, layer and dose, it is possible to achieve a healthy, moist and soft lip appearance.
  4. Is under eye filler safe?
    In selected cases, it can be applied safely with appropriate density and cannula technique; however, it may not be suitable for every patient.
  5. Is nose filler permanent?
    It is temporary and provides optical correction for minor irregularities. It is performed in very selective cases due to vascular risks.

E) Filling – Application & Aftercare

  1. Does the procedure hurt?
    Most products contain local anesthetic; additional cream or cooling applications may be used to increase comfort.
  2. How long does it take?
    It usually takes 20-40 minutes depending on the application area.
  3. Are swelling and asymmetry normal?
    There may be temporary swelling and asymmetries in the first week; balance is achieved as the tissue settles.
  4. Can the filling be taken back?
    Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved with a special enzyme.
  5. When can I return to sports?
    You can return to sports after 24-48 hours; avoid intense pressure and massage for the first week.

F) Combined Protocols & Male Face

  1. Can Botox and filler be used together?
    Yes; while dynamic lines are softened, a balance of volume and light is simultaneously established.
  2. Is the approach different for men?
    Yes. The dose and application area are adjusted according to the male anatomy, taking into account straighter lines and masculine corners.
  3. Differences by age and ethnicity?
    Factors such as skin thickness, fat pads, and bone support vary; the plan is individualized.
  4. Is it okay to do multiple regions on the same day?
    We avoid overload; we prefer gradual progress with a “basic first, then refine” approach.
  5. Why is photo-video analysis important?
    It is critical to confirm the natural appearance during facial expressions and speech.

G) Safety, Contraindications, Risk Management

  1. Who is it not suitable for?
    Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, those with active infections; also those with certain neuromuscular diseases for Botox.
  2. I'm on anticoagulants; could that be possible?
    Planning can be made by managing the risk of bruising through physician-medicine coordination.
  3. I have allergies, what happens?
    Your allergy history is evaluated in detail; if necessary, tests are performed and alternative protocols are implemented.
  4. What is the most serious risk?
    Vascular compression/embolism are very rare risks associated with filler injections. Valinor offers emergency protocols, enzyme kits, and ultrasounds when necessary.
  5. Risk of infection?
    Risk is minimized with sterile technique and single-use consumables; if there is an active infection, the procedure is postponed.

H) Protection of Results

  1. How long does the effect last?
    Botox: 4-6 months. Filler: 6-18 months. Duration depends on application area, metabolism, and lifestyle.
  2. What should I do to prolong the result?
    Sun protection, proper skin care, and regular, low-dose maintenance sessions can increase the longevity of results.
  3. Is it more permanent to have “a lot” done at once?
    No. Applications done gradually and with smart dosages provide more natural and sustainable results.
  4. Nutrition and makeup after the procedure?
    Avoid extremely hot and spicy foods for the first 24 hours; apply makeup gently.
  5. When to check?
    A follow-up appointment is recommended after 10-14 days for Botox and after 2-4 weeks for fillers.

I) Integration with Dentistry

  1. Can a gummy smile be corrected with just Botox?
    Yes, in mild to moderate cases; in structural problems, it is planned together with periodontal or orthodontic options.
  2. What else is done to treat bruxism?
    A multidisciplinary approach is adopted with splinting, occlusion adjustment and behavior management.
  3. Why is lip-teeth-gum harmony important?
    Smile aesthetics is the harmony of the “white (teeth) + pink (gums) + lips” trio; all plans are made in an integrated manner.
  4. Will my smile change after filling?
    Lip borders and light reflections can be adjusted; a simple, refreshed smile is the goal.
  5. Can dental treatments be done on the same day?
    It is often preferable to schedule the procedures on separate days; if necessary, the order and timing are determined by the physician.

J) Frequently Encountered Practice Questions

  1. Can I have it done during my period?
    Yes, but there may be a slightly increased tendency for tenderness or bruising.
  2. Can I board the flight?
    Yes. It is recommended that you avoid massage and pressure for the first 24 hours after the filler.
  3. Does sun-solar bed affect it?
    It is best to avoid hot and sauna use in the first few days; in the long run, UV rays accelerate skin aging.
  4. Cigarettes or alcohol?
    It negatively affects the healing process and skin quality; it is recommended to reduce it.
  5. How are fees determined?
    A personalized plan and transparent pricing are provided based on the application area, the amount of product used and the difficulty level of the procedure.

K) Advanced (More Technical) Questions

  1. Why do Botox effects vary from person to person?
    It depends on factors such as muscle mass, metabolic rate, lifestyle and regular maintenance intervals.
  2. How much of a “lift” is possible with Botox?
    A slight lifting effect can be achieved by changing the facial balance; if there is structural sagging, different solutions may be required.
  3. What layers are used in the filling?
    Depending on the indication, skin, subcutaneous, supra-SMAS or periosteal layers are used; the density and elasticity of the product are selected accordingly.
  4. What causes asymmetry?
    Natural facial asymmetries may be due to the temporary effects of edema or healing differences and can be corrected with micro-retouching at the follow-up visit.
  5. Is the enzyme (dissolving) safe?
    It can be applied safely with a physician's indication and by observing allergy protocols.
  6. Is ultrasound guidance necessary?
    Not in every case, but it is a valuable aid in risk areas or in revision-complication management.
  7. “How do you avoid the ”bloated“ or ”full” look?
    We aim for a natural look by focusing on gradual planning, applying low doses in the right layers, and shadow-light play.
  8. What happens if Botox is used too often?
    Applications performed at intervals greater than necessary may disrupt natural facial harmony; clinically appropriate intervals are maintained.
  9. Does the filling “shift”?
    It stays in place when applied with the correct technique and layer; massaging or intense pressure is not recommended in the early stages.
  10. What if I'm not satisfied with the result?
    Reversibility with enzyme fillers is possible; however, the effects of Botox diminish over time. We always follow the "small touches first" principle in our planning.

Valinor Dental Clinic'’Medical aesthetics combines the power of science with refined aesthetic intuition. Every plan is personalized, every touch is measured, and every result is natural—as if it had always been this way.
