Cheek Filler

Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa licensed medical professionals perform cheek filler injections using Hyaluronic Acid fillers such as Voluma, Juvederm, and Restylane to achieve beautiful but subtle cheek augmentation. As we age, the midface and especially the cheeks descend due to gravity and the atrophy of youthful fat. High cheekbones are responsible for a large percentage of our perception of youth, brightness, and midface beauty, and this treatment has become quite popular amongst celebrities and those on television as a way to camouflage age-related descent of the midface.

Cheek augmentation via dermal fillers is an unobtrusive way to brighten and reverse some of the natural flattenings in the cheeks and midface.  Cheek dermal filler restores youthful fullness to the cheeks and gently lifts up the nasolabial folds (the “parentheses” around the mouth). All this without leaving the patient looking all “overdone”.  Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa licensed medical professionals tailor each cheek augmentation treatment and injection location to the individual patient because each exhibits different patterns of aging. Patient satisfaction with cheek augmentation treatment is extremely high. Related nasolabial fold treatment with dermal filler or tear trough (under eye) rejuvenation also with dermal filler may also be options for patients desiring improvement in the midface.

 

Key Aspects of Treatment

Cheek Augmentation & Fillers Recommended Regimen

Most patients require one treatment of cheek filler per year to maintain a continual effect.

Cheek Augmentation & Fillers Longevity

Treatment is visible immediately and finalizes within one week. Results can last up to one year. Results will vary depending on how much product is injected and how quickly the patient metabolizes Hyaluronic Acid.

Cheek Augmentation & Fillers Procedure Time

10 – 20 minutes per treatment

Cheek Augmentation & Fillers Pretreatment Guidelines

We issue a few guidelines to minimize the probability of mild bruising after treatment:

• Avoid ibuprofen or aspirin for one to two days before and after treatment
• Avoid drinking excessive alcohol one day before treatment
• Avoid intensive physical exercise on the day of treatment

However, these guidelines don’t typically prevent patients from undergoing treatment. Please ask one of our licensed medical professionals at the time of treatment if you have concerns about one of these issues.

Cheek Augmentation & Fillers Recovery (Downtime)

Some patients with sensitive skin may experience redness, mild bruising, or minimal bleeding at the injection sites. This will resolve within minutes to hours. Bruising may present for one to two days post-treatment. If patients would like to put on skin makeup products post-treatment, this is acceptable, but if possible, we recommend avoiding makeup afterward on the day of treatment.

Cheek Augmentation & Fillers Associated Risks

Hyaluronic Acid filler injection in general is very safe, and this remains so in the case of cheek enhancement. The most common “risk” is that patients are not happy with their injector’s result and may look overdone. As a result, it is important to visit a licensed, medical professional who is aware of the anatomy of the midface. Suddenly Slimmer Med Spa licensed medical professionals perform precise, customized treatment for each patient to offset their specific pattern of age-related midface descent.
