Small amounts of cheek fillers can be used to lift saggy cheeks or restore volume to flat cheeks. Cheek fillers can also be used to restore youthful contours in the cheek area. All of this can be performed without distorting your appearance or make it look like you have had anything done.
When injected in the cheeks, fillers replace lost volume in the area, which, in turn, restores drooping and receding fat pads to their original position.
Dermal fillers can be used to restore mid-face (cheek) volume and sculpt the jawline, in order to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. The procedure is not painful, does not require any significant down-time and is excellent at lifting and sculpting the skin, where volume needs to be replaced.
Microneedling, Ultherapy, and dermal fillers, like Juvederm Voluma® and Juvederm, and Volbella offer an effective, non-invasive solution to sagging facial skin.
A non-surgical mid face lift can be performed in many different ways and one of the most popular treatments at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic is a non-surgical facelift using dermal fillers. A common misconception about this treatment is that you need a lot of filler to get a good result.
Cheek filler
They are ideal for replacing volume loss, enhancing cheek volume, and can improve the appearance of the lower eyelid by volumising the upper cheek area. We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you'll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.
Dermal Fillers for Jowls.
They can be placed directly in the lower front on the jawline and chin or into the cheeks.
Placing filler along the jawline or cheeks will give your skin a boost, lifting your cheeks and smoothing fine lines around your face. As the filler restores volume into the midface area, the skin will lift from your lower face to give you a more prominent and symmetrical jawline.
In general, the amount of filler you will need for your treatment will depend on the severity of skin laxity in your cheeks and your aesthetic goals. Voluma syringes are typically one cc and many patients need between two and four syringes to complete the treatment, which can be one to two syringes per cheek.
How long they last. Depending on the type that you choose, cheek fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before results are no longer noticeable. The dermal filler material eventually dissolves and metabolizes into your skin tissue.
Fillers are most often the first step toward reducing nasolabial folds. Dermatologists and other aesthetic professionals inject fillers into the skin around the cheek. This adds volume to the area and lifts the skin.
It's worth getting cheek fillers if you're looking to add more volume to your cheeks or if, over time, you've noticed some shadowing under your cheeks. Cheek fillers are a great way to replace volume or add more volume to give you a more youthful, more rested and overall softer look.
Medical treatment for sunken cheeks
To give your cheeks a fuller appearance, a trained healthcare provider can use injectable facial fillers. Depending on the product used, these fillers can last from several months to several years. Popular fillers include Hyaluronic acid (HA) and Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
Injecting specific areas of the face with dermal fillers can lift and support sagging areas and re-construct facial contours, restore a lift to the lower facial areas and sculpt the jawline.
As well as stretching of the skin, excessive use of fillers can result in longer term damage including wrinkling of the lip and disturbance of the attachment of the facial fat pads and some degree of irregularity and ageing of the skin, he explains.
With today's cosmetic technology, patients of all ages can have facial rejuvenation with injectables. The primary aim for patients over 60 is to soften lines while maintaining natural-looking results.
Excessive use of fillers distorts natural face features, causing an aged appearance. When the face becomes distorted this makes you look unnatural. And an unnatural look will make you look disproportioned. A hallmark of beauty is proportions.
Cheeks: Cheeks are very versatile and also the most challenging region of your face to treat. For each treatment, you'll need 10 to 15 filler syringes. Injecting too much filler might result in undesirable side effects, including a “duck-billed” appearance.
Since your body will gradually process the ingredients in your chosen filler, your injectable treatment will not create permanent changes in your lips, cheeks, and other facial features.
