What are Cheek Fillers?

Often, people have trouble gaining weight, despite how healthy their diet is. Looking as healthy as they feel is a significant concern for these people. Hollow and gaunt cheeks can cause people to question your health and fitness. The problem of hollow checks can also be caused by the fat layer in the cheeks collapsing over time, causing once-healthy-looking cheeks to look wilted. Age is the leading cause of the collapse of the fat layer, and you may notice hollow cheeks become more apparent as some people age.

Cheek fillers can be an easy solution to the problem of hollow cheeks, no matter what the cause. Cheek fillers generally consist of hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar molecule that occurs in the body and helps retain moisture. Moisture-retaining substances are called humectants. HA is a humectant confirmed as safe by the US FDA and is currently used as a cheek filler worldwide. Its moisture-retaining properties are also used to keep the skin flexible and hydrated and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

When injected into the cheeks, HA acts as a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that restores volume and adds definition to the cheeks. It’s ideal for lifting sagging skin and enhancing facial contours.

How a Cheek Filler Procedure Works

A skilled specialist injects filler beneath the skin using a fine needle. The entire session typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes. Cheek filler procedures are minimally invasive and provide a non-surgical remedy. When the procedure is finished, the results are immediately visible and continue to improve over the next few days.

Does Getting Cheek Fillers Hurt?

Any discomfort from a cheek filler application is minimal. Most fillers include lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent. You may feel a bit of pressure or a slight sting, but the needles used are very thin and usually don’t require an additional anesthetic. However, numbing cream is also available if you’re extra sensitive.

Recovery Time and Aftercare

Patients’ downtime is also minimal. You can usually resume your routine the same day as the treatment. You may notice mild swelling, redness, or bruising, but these symptoms fade within a few days.

You should sleep on your back for a couple of days and avoid alcohol, heavy workouts, and touching the treated area for 24 hours after treatment.

Benefits of Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers add youthful volume and natural-looking lift to your face. They can also improve your facial symmetry, balance, and contour. A single cheek filler application provides immediate and long-lasting results, lasting 6 to 18 months or more.

Who Should Consider Cheek Fillers?

Many people in their 50s and 60s request cheek fillers as hollow, gaunt cheeks can make people look older than their years. However, anyone wanting a quick and subtle enhancement that provides sharper and more defined cheekbones is an excellent candidate for cheek fillers. This treatment is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
