How can cheek fillers help? Facial fillers are a top treatment choice for eliminating jowls as they can be used to rebuild the structure of the face whilst rebooting the skin's natural supply of hyaluronic acid and smoothing the jawline.
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.
By adding volume to the cheek area and contouring the shape of your cheek, you can visibly lift your cheekbones and the lower face while filling out fine lines and wrinkles in the process.
Cosmetic fillers like Restylane and Sculptra are often used for jawline contouring. Restylane Lyft – a hyaluronic acid filler – is also frequently recommended for reshaping the jawline as it is thicker than other fillers under the Restylane umbrella.
When the dermal filler is used as a jowl filler, it is injected along the jawline in the pre-jowl sulcus and the marionette lines to regain jawline definition. Treatment of jowls with jawline fillers often involves treating the chin area.
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.
Fillers and Skin Tightening Treatments for Moderate Jowls
Expect to need approximately 4-8 syringes which are best done slowly and gradually over 2-4 appointments over 2-9 months. This is the base. Maintenance should be discussed with you (for most people is 1-2 times a year).
There are several options for treating sagging jowls or reducing how saggy or droopy they appear. Surgical procedures, such as neck lifts, can tighten your skin and make it look less saggy. Nonsurgical procedures, such as thermage, lasers, and peels, can change the composition of the collagen in your skin.
Dermal fillers are most commonly used in the lips, cheeks, temples, and forehead. Generally speaking, a facelift is recommended when patients are experiencing more advanced signs of aging, whereas dermal fillers might be more suitable in treating the early stages of facial aging.
Do they lift like a facelift? Never. However, they do provide a bit of a lift or give the illusion of lifting. Cheek fillers also provide volume to the face.
Liposuction: This body-shaping procedure dissolves undesirable fat from hard to target areas, including submental fat under the chin. Neck-Tite™: This minimally-invasive procedure uses radiofrequency energy to melt fat and rejuvenate the neck and jowls.
Jowls develop as the skin becomes less elastic with age because of elastin and collagen loss. Jowl development is also affected by various other factors including certain lifestyle choices and facial movement habits, genetic predisposition, exposure to sunlight, and chronic stress.
Botox reduces sagging jowls by tightening and lifting the jaw area. This pulls back the excess sagging skin that creates jowls in the first place.
As we age, the skin and fat in the face begin to loosen and sag. There is a point just in front of the jowls called the mandibular ligament where the skin is fixed to the bone and sagging doesn't occur. This allows the sagging to happen just behind that point and hence the development of jowls.
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.
In general, you may be a good cheek augmentation candidate if: You are physically healthy and at a stable weight. You have realistic expectations. You are a nonsmoker.
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.
Juvederm Voluma is an incredibly natural looking filler to lift the cheeks and improve volume in the mid face. Even a syringe or two and can make you look less tired and hollow and subtly raise a sagging jawline.
You Should Typically Wait to Use Juvederm Until Your 40s.
Outside of lip enhancement, Dr. Rose usually recommends that you wait to begin Juvederm or any other facial filler treatment until you are in your 40s, or have begun showing the telltale signs of aging.
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.
To achieve and maintain your ideal results, it is recommended to schedule treatments for every one to two years.
Stimulating Natural Collagen Production
Injectable fillers typically contain primarily hyaluronic acid, which provides immediate benefits by increasing the skin's retention of moisture, but more significantly has recently been proven to stimulate the body's natural collagen production over significant periods.
