Dermal filler injected into the area around the cheekbones can help to raise and accentuate the cheekbones. This is because dermal filler adds volume to the injection area, and with careful placement dermal fillers can increase the volume of your existing cheekbones to help achieve a higher, defined, cheekbone line.
Can Fillers Give You High Cheekbones? Yes! Dermal filler cheek enhancement is a non-surgical way to achieve higher cheekbones and a more feminine and defined facial structure. Most clients that have cheek fillers want to add more definition to their cheekbones to create more symmetry and aesthetic appeal.
In general, the amount of filler you will need for your treatment will depend on the severity of skin laxity in your cheeks and your aesthetic goals. Voluma syringes are typically one cc and many patients need between two and four syringes to complete the treatment, which can be one to two syringes per cheek.
Treating with 1ml at a time is certainly appropriate for some areas, such as volumising lips or having smaller tweakments into other areas of the face. Sometimes, however, more than 1ml may be required – in the cheeks, for example – as 1ml may not make a discernible difference.
The Results Improve Over Time
Because these injections stimulate your body's production of collagen and elastin, the final results of treatment won't be seen for several weeks. Even as the hyaluronic acid is processed by your body, healthy collagen and elastin grow at a more significant rate.
To give you an answer to "How much is too much?" for cheek fillers, our answer is: anything more than 2ml (1ml per cheek) in 1 session is too much. You can build up the amount of filler in your cheeks, but this has to be done gradually over several visits.
Hyaluronic acid replenishes lost moisture levels while filling and smoothing out sagging or hollow skin. This serves to lift the entire face. As a result, the sunken look of the cheeks disappears.

Dermal fillers are great for anyone looking to restore the smooth and youthful shape of their face. Although some last for two years, others need to be repeated every 4-6 months for best effects. If you're having several areas of the face treated, you might have to visit us more often.
Juvederm Voluma is the thickest filler in the Juvederm family. It is FDA approved for volumizing and augmenting the cheekbones along the zygomatic arch of the face. Voluma can also be used in deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth.
When injected, these substances can cause allergic reactions, infections, and the death of skin cells. Another risk is that improper injection technique can lead not only to swelling and lumpiness, but also more serious side effects such as death of skin cells, and embolism leading to blindness.
“It is possible for cheek filler to provide lift for the lower half of the face,” says Dr. Marisa Garshick, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.
Dermal fillers can be used to restore mid-face (cheek) volume and sculpt the jawline, in order to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. The procedure is not painful, does not require any significant down-time and is excellent at lifting and sculpting the skin, where volume needs to be replaced.

Some fillers may feel firmer than others. Injectors do tend to use firmer fillers for the cheeks, especially if accentuating the cheekbones. Over the next week or two, the fillers should begin to soften.
Expect to need approximately 4-8 syringes which are best done slowly and gradually over 2-4 appointments over 2-9 months. This is the base. Maintenance should be discussed with you (for most people is 1-2 times a year).
Most fillers last between 12 and 24 months meaning that over this time period you can expect to lose about 50% of the filler that has been placed. As you lose filler the treated areas will appear less filled.
Generally, one syringe provides a mild or moderate enhancement to the cheeks or lips. In short, yes, one syringe of filler can make a difference. However, if you want an exaggerated result, or have lost a large amount of volume you may require additional syringes.
Swelling is completely normal after your procedure, so don't freak out if your cheeks look "bigger" or more lifted than you intended. Swelling can distort the shape, so give yourself about five days for the volume to settle before you assess your filler.
“Proper placement of mid-face and lower face filler should not significantly affect the smile,” he shares. With that said, “if an overly firm filler is used or if the region is overfilled, an unnatural appearance can result as the lips push against stiff surrounding tissues,” he adds.
