What are cheek fillers?

Cheek filler is a cosmetic treatment designed to enhance facial contours, particularly in the cheek area. It involves injecting dermal filler made of hyaluronic acid gels to add volume, restore lost elasticity, and create a more contoured, youthful appearance. Cheek fillers are popular for their ability to provide natural-looking results, restoring volume in a way that enhances one's features without appearing overly done.

Why are cheek fillers so popular?

Full cheekbones, a hallmark of youth, diminish with age as the depletion of supportive fat, bone, collagen, and elastin leading to sagging and or hollow areas. Additionally, weight loss can contribute to a loss of definition in the midface region. Cheek fillers work by replenishing this lost volume resulting in higher, smoother more youthful-appearing cheekbones.

What are the best brands of cheek fillers?

Some of the most popular brands of dermal fillers that are used for the cheek area include:  Restylane Lyft, Sculptra, Contour, RHA, Voluma and Bellafill. BabyFace carries most of these brands and can make a recommendation for you based on your specific facial structure and goals. Ask your provider on which product is best for you.

Different types of Cheek Fillers

Discover various types of cheek fillers tailored to enhance your appearance and rejuvenate cheekbones. The effectiveness of these fillers depends on their composition:

• Hyaluronic acid (HA): The most common filler, HA is a natural substance in your skin that diminishes with age, causing wrinkles, folds and shadows. HA injections like Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Contour and RHA  restore volume and hydration, typically lasting 6-9 months if injected properly using enough product.

• Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA): Naturally present in bones, CaHA injections enhance cheek fullness and smooth deeper lines. Brands like Radiesse® offer results lasting around 15 months.

• Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA): A synthetic substance stimulating collagen production, PLLA is effective for treating deep cheek wrinkles. Sculptra® is a popular brand, with results enduring two years or more.

• Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA): Tiny collagen beads in PMMA provide firmness and structure, making cheeks appear full. Brands like Bellafill® offer long-lasting results, although multiple injections may be necessary.

What to expect at your cheek filler treatment

A relatively painless treatment, due to the topical numbing cream applied before the treatment.  In addition these products contain lidocaine added to the product itself. During the procedure, your provider strategically injects the filler into various areas around the cheeks in order to achieve a natural lift in the cheeks, reduced wrinkles and sagging, and filled in hollow areas. Stronger definition comes from applying filler above the cheekbones, while injecting into the submalar and anteromedial fat pads below the cheek edge to add volume and smooth nasolabial lines.

How long does a cheek filler treatment take?

Typically lasting between 20 and 30 minutes, cheek filler results are instantly visible, though it takes about a week for the filler to fully settle. We recommend avoiding strenuous activities for 24-48 hours post-treatment. When done right, this minimally invasive procedure usually incurs only temporary side effects, like swelling or bruising, and may involve some tenderness at injection sites.

It's important to note that cheek fillers should be administered by certified experienced professionals  such as the our experienced team at BabyFace. Those considering this procedure should undergo a thorough consultation to discuss their aesthetic goals and receive a customized treatment plan on the most suitable approach and brand of cheek filler for their unique desires.
