Cheek Filler

Cheek fillers are injectable treatments designed to enhance and restore volume to the cheeks. They are made from a gel-like substance called hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body.

Cheek fillers work by replenishing lost volume and enhancing the contour of the cheeks. The hyaluronic acid in the filler attracts and retains moisture, providing a plumping effect that can help improve facial symmetry and restore a more youthful appearance.

Yes, cheek fillers are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. However, it’s important to disclose your medical history and any allergies during your consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Cheek fillers can effectively address a range of concerns, including sunken or hollow cheeks, flat or asymmetrical cheeks, and age-related volume loss. They can also help improve facial harmony and provide a subtle lift to the midface.

The duration of cheek fillers can vary depending on factors such as the specific product used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle. On average, cheek fillers typically last between 9 to 12 months. However, results are not permanent, and subsequent treatments may be required to maintain the desired outcome.

Discomfort during the cheek filler procedure is usually minimal. Most fillers contain a local anesthetic called lidocaine to help numb the treatment area, ensuring a more comfortable experience. Additionally, healthcare professionals may apply a topical anesthetic or use ice to further minimize any potential discomfort.

The amount of cheek filler needed varies per individual. Typically, 1-2 ml per cheek is common, but the exact amount is determined by the desired outcome and your facial anatomy. Your clinician will work with you towards a tailored treatment plan.
