Cheek fillers are applied to patients who experience volume loss, hollowness, and a tired appearance in the cheeks and mid-face. The aim is to achieve a brighter and more refreshed look, as well as provide a lifting effect on the face.
For women, emphasizing the cheekbones creates a youthful and dynamic impression, while for men, mid-face fillers reduce a hollow and tired appearance.
Cheek filler can be applied using either a needle or cannula technique. With fine needles, the filler is applied over the cheekbone to enhance its prominence, creating a lifting effect on the face. If there is hollowness in the middle of the cheek, the cannula method is used to fill in those areas. In younger patients, using at least 2cc of filler for effective lifting and cheek enhancement creates a noticeable difference. In cases with more hollow faces, this amount can reach up to 4cc.
A local anesthetic cream is applied before the cheek filler procedure, making the needle insertions painless. Rarely, there may be a stinging sensation or mild pain during the filler application.
After the procedure, swelling and bruising may occur on the 2nd or 3rd day. This usually resolves by the 5th day. To reduce swelling and bruising, you can apply arnica cream and use a cold compress periodically. It is recommended to avoid contact with water for the first 4 hours and refrain from makeup for 12 hours. Massaging should not be done unless advised by your doctor.
The duration of cheek filler (cheekbone filler) typically lasts 12-15 months. This period can vary depending on the individual’s age, the type of filler used, any underlying health conditions, and genetic factors. Repeated applications can help extend the longevity of the filler.
Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is found naturally in the skin and serves as a volume source for the subcutaneous tissue.
It is a substance fully compatible with human tissue and does not cause reactions or allergic responses. It is gradually absorbed by the body within 12-15 months and disappears. It does not cause permanent damage or changes.
Cheek filler can be applied to anyone over the age of 18 who has volume loss, hollowness, and a tired appearance in the cheeks and mid-face, in order to achieve a brighter and more youthful look, as well as a lifting effect. However, in cases of serious conditions such as connective tissue disorders or immunodeficiency, the treatment plan will be tailored to the patient and their condition. If you have any medical conditions, be sure to inform your doctor when planning the treatment. Since it does not cause sensitivity to the sun, it can be performed in both summer and winter.
