Dramatic weight loss, genetic factors and/or facial deformations due to aging can cause changes that create aesthetic concerns. Cheeks and cheekbones are among the parts that affect the appearance and expression of the face. A youthful and dynamic appearance can be achieved with cheek and cheekbone filler treatments applied to selected patients.
Cheekbones and cheeks in the mid-face area are important elements that determine the ideal face shape. Although the cheek and cheekbone structure changes with age, these areas can also cause aesthetic concerns due to genetically inherited characteristics.
Lack of prominent cheekbones and sunken cheeks both prevent the ideal V-shaped face and make the person look older and tired. In such a case, cheek fillers and cheekbone fillers may be needed within the restoration of the mid-face area.
Cheek and cheekbone fillers can be performed simultaneously or separately. Whether the applications will be performed simultaneously or whether the filling will be performed with fat injection or dermal fillers is determined according to the needs of the patient.
What is Cheek Filler?
In cases such as collapse of the cheek area due to genetic structure, excessive weight loss and / or aging, loss of elasticity of the cheek area, loss of volume of the fat pads in the region, and downward fall of the face, cheek filling application with dermal fillers or fat injection may be needed.
With cheek filling applications;
- Cheeks can gain volume,
- The sunken appearance on the face can be eliminated,
- The prominence of wrinkles in the mid-face area can be reduced,
- You can have a younger and more dynamic appearance.
One of the most curious questions of those who are considering cheek augmentation is “Does cheek augmentation lift the face?”. In selected patients, it is possible to create a lifting effect on the face after cheek filler application performed by specialist physicians.
- The face is genetically very weak,
- Depressed cheek area due to excessive weight loss,
- Cheek augmentation can be performed alone or in combination with cheekbone augmentation for people with sagging face due to the loss of volume of fat pads.
What is Cheekbone Filler?
Prominent cheekbones are among the most important components of a V-shaped face structure. The filling procedure performed with dermal filler or fat injection for people whose cheekbones are not structurally prominent or whose bone tissue decreases with the advancement of age is called cheekbone filling.
With the filling applied to the cheekbone;
- Cheekbones can be made prominent,
- A lifting effect can be created on the face,
- You can have a younger and more dynamic appearance.
Cheekbone filler that supports more prominent cheekbones, a more dynamic appearance and an ideal V-shaped face structure;
- Loss of volume in the mid-face area with the advancement of age,
- Congenital weakness in the mid-face,
- Who want to improve the contours of the cheekbones,
- It can be applied to people who aim to make their face more symmetrical.
How is Cheek and Cheek Filling Performed?
After detailed facial analysis, the filling procedure can be performed with dermal filler injection or fat injection method for patients who are determined to be suitable for cheek and cheekbone filling.
Cheek and Cheekbone Filling with Dermal Filler
Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid are applied with fine-tipped needles after applying local anesthetic cream to the area before application.
Fillers determined in a personalized dose are applied under the skin with fine-tipped needles. If cheek and cheekbone fillers are applied simultaneously, it takes approximately 1 – 1.5 hours. Although the permanence of cheek and cheekbone filling varies from person to person, it continues for 6-12 months. After the effect of the application wears off, cheek and cheekbone filler is an application that can be repeated.
Cheek and Cheek Filling with Fat Injection
The method based on taking the person’s own fat tissue by liposuction method and injecting it into the application area after a special process is called “fat injection”. There is no risk of allergy in this procedure, which is performed by taking fat from the person himself/herself.
Fat injection technique can be used in cheek and cheek filling applications. While the process of fat removal with liposuction is completed in 1 hour, the whole application is completed in about 2 hours.
Although the duration of cheek and cheek filling with fat injection varies from person to person, the effect of the application continues for about 1 – 1.5 years. After this period, the fat tissue is absorbed by the body and it may be necessary to repeat the application.
In the process after cheek and cheek filling, tenderness, redness and bruising may occur in the injection areas. These side effects may disappear within a few days.
As with all other medical aesthetic applications, cheek and cheek filling can give the best results when performed by specialist physicians for selected patients. For this reason, facial analysis of the patients before the application should be performed, their needs should be determined and the application plan should be carried out individually in order to achieve the best results.
