What Are Cheek Filler Injections?

Cheek fillers are injected near the cheekbone during non surgical cheek augmentation treatments. There are different types of dermal fillers used for restoring volume in the cheeks and mid-face areas like calcium hydroxylapatite, fat grafting injections, poly-L-lactic acid, and polymethyl methacrylate, but hyaluronic acid fillers are the most commonly used ones in medical spas and cosmetic dermatology clinics.

A hyaluronic acid filler is a gel-like injectable that instantly restores the volume in the cheeks. By attracting water molecules and locking in moisture in the injection sites, the HA filler plumps the hollow parts of the face and softens the deep nasolabial folds and wrinkles. They also stimulate collagen and elastin production for firmer, healthier skin.

Aging is inevitable, and with it comes the loss of facial volume and the appearance of deep wrinkles. You can reduce the appearance of these signs of aging within just 2 weeks with cheek filler treatments. What remains is smoother skin that can make you look and feel younger. 

Why We Recommend Cheek Fillers for You

As we age, the levels of collagen in our bodies decline. This leads to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as loss of facial volume that makes the cheeks appear hollow. But instead of cheek implants, it’s better to opt for safer and minimally invasive cheek fillers instead. This non-surgical procedure offers effective results to enhance your facial contour and highlight your facial features.

Cheek fillers are recommended for patients who want to rejuvenate their appearance by restoring cheek volume and smoothing out facial wrinkles. Dr. Lanna Aesthetics can administer the following types of dermal filler injections to your face:

• Juvederm Voluma XC – best used for deep injections in the cheek area to restore facial volume loss
• Restylane Lyft – administered in areas that lost facial volume like the cheeks
• Restylane Contour – specially formulated to fill lost cheek volume 

Benefits of Cheek Filler Injections

• Quick treatments with minimal downtime. Getting facial fillers for your cheeks only takes less than an hour. There’s also not so much downtime or serious side effects to worry about – most patients even resume their daily activities within the same day as their treatment session.
• Better control over the treatment area. The amount of cheek filler injection administered is easy to control, thanks to skilled injectors like Dr. Lanna Aesthetics. This allows the patient to achieve their desired results safely and accurately.
• Compatible with different aesthetic treatments. Cheek fillers work great when paired with Botox and other dermal filler treatments to give you the best anti-aging and facial rejuvenation results. Just consult with Dr. Lanna Aesthetics about the best treatment plan for you. 

Your Cheek Filler Experience

Like other injectable treatments, getting cheek fillers is a quick and easy procedure. Before your treatment session, you’ll have an initial consultation with Dr. Lanna Aesthetics about everything you need to know about the treatment: how it works, are you qualified for it, and what results to expect. From there, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics creates a personalized treatment that helps you achieve your aesthetic goals.

During the procedure, we apply a topical anesthetic to the injection site to help minimize the pain and discomfort you might feel. Once the treatment area feels numb, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics will inject the right kind and amount of dermal filler injection into the cheekbone. 

And that’s it – a quick and easy aesthetic procedure that only takes less than 30 minutes. Visible improvements in the treated sites usually start showing 2 weeks after the treatment. 

Aftercare Tips

A minimally invasive cheek filler treatment doesn’t require so much downtime like facial plastic surgery, so patients don’t have to worry about taking time off work after the procedure. Most of them even return to their daily activities within the same day as the treatment. To help minimize side effects and ensure that you’re getting the best results, here are a few aftercare tips to keep in mind:

• Apply an ice pack gently on the treated areas to minimize pain and discomfort
• Stay hydrated to help the body heal quickly
• Avoid exercises and other strenuous activities for the first 24 to 48 hours
• Avoid direct UV exposure and other hot environments like the sauna
• Don’t drink alcohol for the first 24 hours to avoid thinning the blood
• Try sleeping on your back for a few days to avoid putting pressure on the treatment areas 

Myths About Cheek Fillers, Debunked

1. Cheek Fillers Are Painful

Although there’s some discomfort during the cheek filler treatment, most of our patients said that the pain is tolerable. But to help maximize your comfort during the procedure, we apply numbing cream over the treatment areas to help soothe the pain. 

2. Cheek Fillers Are Hard To Maintain

Many patients are hesitant to try cheek fillers because they think these injectables require frequent maintenance treatments. However, cheek fillers actually stay on the treatment areas for several months before needing additional injections to restore the cheek volume. 

3. Correcting Bad Cheek Fillers Are A Hassle

Cheek fillers utilize hyaluronic acid injectables that are easy to correct. It only takes a simple injection of hyaluronidase in the treatment area to dissolve the hyaluronic acid injectable filler and redo the procedure for better results.

FAQs About Cheek Fillers

Q: What other types of dermal fillers can I use for my cheeks?

A: Aside from HA fillers, dermatologists may also recommend Sculptra Aesthetic for achieving fuller cheeks and decreasing fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Sculptra Aesthetic injections contain poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible material that adds volume to the treatment areas and stimulates collagen production.

Q: How long do cheek fillers last?

A: Cheek fillers last for about 6 to 12 months before needing maintenance treatments. There’s no direct way to extend the length of your cheek filler, but following good skincare habits and aftercare practices affects how long they remain effective.

Q: Who shouldn’t get cheek filler injections?

A: Patients shouldn’t get cheek fillers if they:

• Are diagnosed with bleeding disorders
• Have an active infection on or near the injection site
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are allergic to lidocaine or other ingredients of the cheek filler
• Used blood-thinning medications
• Are under 21 years old

During your initial consultation, Dr. Lanna Aesthetics will determine if you’re a qualified candidate for cheek fillers. Otherwise, alternative aesthetic treatments that can help you achieve the results you want will be recommended.
