It's worth getting cheek fillers if you're looking to add more volume to your cheeks or if, over time, you've noticed some shadowing under your cheeks. Cheek fillers are a great way to replace volume or add more volume to give you a more youthful, more rested and overall softer look.
Cheek fillers are considered a safe treatment, but they're not risk-free. The most common side effects are the same ones you can expect with all injectable treatments: bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site. All of these side effects usually disappear on their own within a few days of your treatment.
How long they last. Depending on the type that you choose, cheek fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before results are no longer noticeable. The dermal filler material eventually dissolves and metabolizes into your skin tissue.
Fillers can change the shape of your cheeks or restore areas that have lost fat over time. "It also helps stimulate collagen to that area making the skin and contour more youthful," says Lesley Rabach, MD, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon at LM Medical.
You Should Typically Wait to Use Juvederm Until Your 40s.
Outside of lip enhancement, Dr. Rose usually recommends that you wait to begin Juvederm or any other facial filler treatment until you are in your 40s, or have begun showing the telltale signs of aging.
Cheek filler
They are ideal for replacing volume loss, enhancing cheek volume, and can improve the appearance of the lower eyelid by volumising the upper cheek area. We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
In general, you may be a good cheek augmentation candidate if: You are physically healthy and at a stable weight. You have realistic expectations. You are a nonsmoker.
The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you'll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.
There is a very common misconception that dermal fillers can make skin sag, however we can safely say that this is FALSE. People assume that once they have been fully absorbed by your body you will be left with loose, hanging skin leaving you looking even older than you did previously.
The use of fillers in the face to achieve a liquid facelift or to increase the size of your cheek bones will leave some damage behind to your face and in the young patient under the age of 35 it will make you look older.
Your provider uses a thin needle to inject small amounts of filler beneath your skin. They may inject filler in several areas of your cheek. You may feel a small pinch or sting, but the cheek filler procedure doesn't usually cause pain. A cheek filler procedure usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
Can your face go back to normal after fillers? Many patients fear that when the filler wears off, they will look worse than before. Though fillers may stretch your skin, it is elastic enough to revert to its original form before your treatment. However, anything that's too much is also not good for you.
Con: Side effects such as bruising, bleeding, and swelling
Most dermal fillers use naturally-occurring components. They are fully biocompatible and produce no known long-term adverse effects. However, in the short term, dermal fillers can cause bleeding, bruising, and swelling at injection sites.
Patients seeking fillers for cheeks are mainly concerned with the following: 1. Lost Volume in Cheeks: As you age, the cheeks can begin to look deflated and the mid-face areas lose healthy, youthful contours. Adding volume to the cheeks with fillers can restore the facial shape.
If your cheek filler is injected too high or too low, your results miiiight look obvious. That means you need to see someone who knows how to strike the perfect balance with cheek fillers, so they look good whether you're smiling or your face is at rest.
Answer: Fillers are not permanent
When they wear off, your facial features are the same and the filler does not make your face look worse. That being said, if you have lost significant weight during this time or have had other medical issues, than you face may appear more "aged" but not due to the filler wearing off.
In some ways, adding volume can correct bony features and make you look 'fatter,' but this is the desired effect in this case. However, 'overfilled' faces or wrong placement of fillers can lead to unnatural appearance and make you look fat.
Do they lift like a facelift? Never. However, they do provide a bit of a lift or give the illusion of lifting. Cheek fillers also provide volume to the face.
And this lost volume and structure results in sagging skin, or hollow patches developing below the eyes, making you look older than you really are. But cheek fillers replace this lost volume by replacing the hyaluronic acid, and in turn, help to replace volume, leading to a more youthful appearance.
Cheek fillers can change the shape of your jaw
This results in sagging skin, which becomes heavier towards the base of the face and jawline. By increasing the volume of the cheeks, the skin can reset to it's original position, and smooth or sharpen your jawline.
While dermal fillers, like Radiesse®, Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®, provide noticeable outcomes, results are temporary. This is because our bodies metabolize these products slowly over time. Most dermal fillers need to be readministered every 3 – 6 months with some lasting up to a year or longer.
It is not uncommon to experience a small degree of asymmetry immediately post-treatment due to the potential for swelling and bruising. Juvederm can take up to 4 weeks to integrate, so it is best to wait and review in 2-4 weeks with your Injector at which point you will have a better idea of the final result.
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.
The age that most women get dermal fillers is between 40 and 54. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons Annual Report, this age range received over a million soft tissue filler treatments in 2016, good for 17 percent of all procedures.
