The cheek area, located in the middle of the face, is one of the key elements that define facial contours and contribute to a youthful and dynamic appearance. Over time, the bone structure in this area recedes, and the fat tissue loses volume, causing facial features to lose support and resulting in skin sagging. Cheekbone filler helps restore this lost volume, supports the midface, reduces sagging, and creates a more balanced appearance. This procedure also diminishes the prominence of nasolabial folds and under-eye hollows, contributing to a fresher and more attractive facial look. By applying filler to the cheek area, the face gains a slimmer and more refined shape, creating an inverted triangle effect that enhances a youthful and vibrant expression.
Before the procedure, the areas to be treated are carefully analyzed, and a plan is created based on the patient’s overall facial structure. Detailed information is provided regarding the patient’s medical history, expectations, and the treatment process. If necessary, pre-procedure photographs are taken.
Cheekbone filler is a procedure performed with microinjection techniques and does not require local anesthesia. The filler is carefully injected into the targeted areas using very fine needles or cannulas. The local anesthetics in the fillers ensure minimal discomfort during the procedure. The process is completed quickly and comfortably in approximately 15-20 minutes.
After the application, mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur in the treated area, but these effects typically resolve within a short time. You can comfortably return to your daily activities after the procedure. The longevity of the filler depends on the product used and generally lasts between 6 months and 3 years.
