The longest-lasting, and safest fillers for the cheeks and jaw are typically hyaluronic acid-based fillers. These fillers can last 6-12 months on average, providing a more long-term solution for volume loss or contouring in the cheeks and jawline with less side effects.
Defined cheekbones and a chiseled jawline are coveted facial features that can make a dramatic difference in one’s overall appearance. While good bone structure is partly genetic, more and more people are turning to dermal fillers to enhance and accentuate these areas for a sculpted, youthful look.
But not all fillers are created equal when it comes to duration of results. While some fillers last 6-12 months, newer formulations on the market offer more long-term enhancement of the cheeks and jaw.
Full, lifted cheekbones and a sharply defined jawline are hallmarks of an aesthetically pleasing visage. These traits signify youth and vitality. Studies show both men and women perceive these facial features as attractive.
As we age, the cheeks start to sag and lose volume due to diminishing collagen and elastin in the skin. The jawline becomes less defined as fat deposits accumulate along the area. These changes lead to an aged, tired appearance.
Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to restore plumpness in the cheeks and definition along the jawline. Injectable fillers are popular for their convenience, minimally invasive nature, and fast results. The global facial injectables market is projected to grow to $40.4 billion by 2033.

While traditional hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane lift and enhance the cheeks and jaw for 6-12 months, newer generation fillers offer more long-term solutions. The latest formulations on the market leverage innovative technologies to offer longer-lasting smooth volume.
With optimal placement technique, many patients see lasting results in the cheeks for over 2 years with Juvederm Voluma. In a clinical trial, over 80% maintained improvement at the 2-year mark. This makes Voluma one of the longest lasting cheek fillers available.
Radiesse contains tiny calcium-based microspheres that provide immediate volume, but also stimulate long-term collagen production by the body for results that extend beyond its degradation. Studies show that Radiesse has an average lasting result from 12 to 18 months.
Sculptra works by stimulating new collagen growth deep beneath the skin's surface. A series of treatments over the course of a few months provides subtle yet long-term enhancement. Results have been shown to last for up to 2 years according to studies.
Bellafill offers the most lasting cheek and jaw enhancement available. The PMMA microspheres provide a scaffold for immediate lift and support while the collagen provides a smooth, natural look. In a 20-patient clinical study, 90% maintained improvement at the 104-week mark in the jawline.
With the variety of effective dermal fillers that provide at least 12 months of enhancement, choosing the right product depends on your specific cosmetic goals, budget, and lifestyle:
Category | Questions to Consider |
Desired Look | Do you want a subtle lift or dramatic fill? Tell your provider your goals. |
Duration | How long do you want results to last before a touch-up? 1 year? 2 years? Longer? |
Price | Longer-lasting fillers cost more. But less frequent treatments may balance overall cost. |
Recovery Time | Will you need to take off work or skip events after? Short-term fillers have little downtime. |
Allergies | Are you allergic to ingredients like lidocaine or hyaluronic acid? This affects options. |
When in doubt, consult an experienced, board-certified cosmetic provider about the best filler to achieve your desired cheek and jaw enhancement based on your anatomy, skin quality, and treatment history.
Advanced MDs like Dr. Lanna Cheuck will take time to understand your cosmetic objectives and offer personalized options tailored to you.

Full, lifted cheeks convey youthfulness, health, and beauty. The midface cheeks provide structure to the upper half of the face. As cheek volume depletes with age, the face takes on a droopy, sagging appearance.
Dermal fillers expertly placed along the cheekbone and upper cheeks restore a heart-shaped face. For dramatic lift, volume is sometimes added below the eyes and along the sides of the nose.
The effects of cheek fillers include:
The cheeks require a moderately dense filler for optimal lift and contour enhancement. Longer-lasting options like Voluma and Radiesse work well in this area. However, too much volume in the cheeks can look unnatural. An experienced injector will use precise placement and the appropriate amount of filler to achieve an aesthetic enhancement.
Most patients require 2-3 syringes for cheek rejuvenation. Depending on the filler, results last 1-5 years. The treatment takes less than an hour with a short recovery time. Some mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are common for a few days.
A well-defined jawline transforms the overall look of the face from every angle. With age, diminishing collagen, skin laxity, and fat accumulation soften the edges of the jaw making it appear loose and saggy.
Dermal fillers can sharpen and contour the jawline by adding strategic volume in key areas. The effects include:
The firm dense structure of Radiesse and Bellafill work well for long-lasting enhancement and structure of the jawline. Areas commonly targeted are the pre-jowl sulcus, chin, and along the jaw border. Some common side effects are temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, and soreness that normally resolve within 1-2 weeks.
An injector will evaluate your bone structure and aesthetic goals to determine the appropriate amount and placement of filler for sharpening the jawline without overly masculinizing features. Filler is customized to complement your unique facial contours.

Contouring the cheek and jaw areas with dermal fillers involves carefully placed injections just below the skin. Ideal candidates for these treatments include:
1 | Healthy non-smokers | Dermal fillers work best on healthy skin that can heal properly. Smoking impairs healing. |
2 | Men and women ages 30 - 65+ | Loss of facial fat and sagging often starts in the 30s and continues as we age. Both younger and older people can benefit. |
3 | Individuals with early signs of facial fat loss and sagging skin | Fillers help restore lost facial volume and lift sagging skin. |
4 | Those with naturally round, flat, or undefined face shape | Fillers are often used to contour faces into more defined heart, oval, etc. shapes. |
5 | People seeking non-surgical improvement in these areas | Fillers are an injectable treatment, not surgery. |
6 | Individuals wanting long-lasting, yet temporary volume restoration | Fillers provide facial rejuvenation lasting 6-24 months depending on area and product used. |
Undergoing injectable contouring requires an openness to the gradual process and need for regular maintenance touch-ups over time. A comprehensive consultation is needed to determine appropriateness for this procedure.
