As we age, our faces naturally lose volume and collagen, causing cheeks to appear more hollow and flat over time.
If your reflection is starting to show sagging cheeks, don’t fret - cheek fillers offer a fast, non-surgical solution to restore a more youthful, contoured facial profile.
At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics in Marlboro, NJ, board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Lanna Cheuck specializes in cheek augmentation using dermal fillers. With her medical expertise and artistic eye, Dr. Cheuck can plump up your cheeks and sculpt an elegantly lifted silhouette that looks natural - not pillow-faced.
Most fillers used today are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), which occurs naturally in the skin. The HA is purified then strategically injected into the cheeks to add lift and volume.
Once injected, the hyaluronic acid binds to water and expands under the skin. This provides immediate volume to lift the cheekbones and smooth the appearance of wrinkles caused by a loss of facial fat and collagen over time. The filler effectively plumps up and recontours the midface for up to 12 months.
The specific benefits of augmenting the cheeks with hyaluronic acid fillers include:

Just like any effective anti-aging regimen, maintaining your cheek filler results requires consistency. Dr. Cheuck will have you return periodically to assess if any additional product is needed for upkeep.
Most patients opt to refresh their cheeks every 12 months as the previous filler gradually dissipates. Think of this as a helpful tune-up to keep your midface looking fab year after year!
The price of cheek fillers varies based on the type of filler used, number of syringes required, and additional fees from your provider. At Dr. Lanna Aesthetics, cheek augmentation costs will be discussed in your consultation.
While not considered inexpensive, keep in mind that filler injections are an investment in improving not just your appearance, but your self-confidence. Consider cheek fillers as a gift to yourself - one with lasting rewards.
When comparing cheek filler brands, important factors include: ingredient types (hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, etc.), consistency and smoothness of the gel, cross-linking technology for longer duration, clinical study results for safety and efficacy, and specialist recommendations for optimal wrinkle smoothing and a more youthful appearance.
Leading brands like Juvederm Voluma XC feature next-generation hyaluronic acid dermal fillers with high cross-linking for smooth consistency and up to 12 months of wrinkle correction. Regional plastic surgeons often recommend Juvederm Voluma XC for overall performance.
Bellafill contains non-resorbable polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres that help stimulate natural collagen production in the cheeks over time. This dermal filler treatment can correct smile lines and have lasting improvement beyond 5 years.

Cheek fillers like Juvederm Voluma XC contain hyaluronic acid, which is hydrophilic. This means it naturally binds to water molecules and retains moisture.
When injected into the cheeks, the hyaluronic acid integrates into the skin tissue and draws in water to add volume. This provides both immediate and gradual filling of wrinkles and folds over 2-4 weeks.
Over time, the water binding effect of the cross-linked hyaluronic acid also stimulates new collagen formation for longer-term correction of facial lines and a more youthful appearance.
For those wanting to avoid potential allergic reactions to hyaluronic acid injectables, alternatives like facial fat grafting are available. This involves transferring fat from elsewhere on your body to the cheeks through a minor procedure. The grafted fat results in a smooth, natural look.
Non-injectable options like focused ultrasound treatment and radiofrequency skin tightening are also available for more gradual enhancement of collagen and cheek fullness over time. These help avoid risks like bruising or asymmetry from filler injections.
If you’re looking to lift, sculpt, and volumize a flat, sagging midface, cheek fillers offer a proven yet non-invasive solution. With an expert like Dr. Lanna Cheuck performing your injections, you’re guaranteed subtle, beautiful, and natural-looking improvements.
Both men and women can benefit from smoothed wrinkles, heart-shaped facial contours, and an overall more youthful profile thanks to targeted cheek filler injections. And there’s no lengthy downtime required - you can quickly get back to normal activity.
