cheek filler technique are among the most frequently performed dermal filler cosmetic procedures. Beyond augmenting cheekbones, cheek fillers can also strengthen weak contours, camouflage marionette lines and lift lower face areas.
An attractive ogee face curve requires strong definition above the cheekbones and strong projection of the front of the jawline – something which can be achieved using appropriate cheek filler techniques.
Choosing the Right Filler
Filler dosage needs depend on a patient’s facial anatomy, desired results and degree of pre-existing cheek volume loss. Therefore it is vitally important that patients select a provider with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy as well as an aesthetic eye as well as outstanding skill.
Filler should aim to lift and soften nose-to-mouth lines. In order to accomplish this, structural fillers that can be sculpted naturally while moving with facial expressions such as Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft or Sculptura should be used.
These dermal fillers feature different stiffness, flexibility, dispersion and swelling behaviors; yet all provide excellent results that last anywhere between six months to two years. Composed of natural hyaluronic acid molecule easily absorbed by your body, these dermal fillers may be ideal for people with thin skin who do not respond to other forms of fillers – commonly referred to as sponge-like dermal fillers that draw in water into hydrate the area being filled.
Preparing the Area
Age can cause cheek volume loss and proportion loss. Dermal fillers can help restore or augment cheeks for improved facial balance and rejuvenating appearance of lower facial structures.
This treatment has become extremely popular as it is easy and produces incredible results. This technique can help create the coveted Hollywood V-shape as well as natural-looking, high cheekbones.
Before beginning, it is vitally important to inspect the cheek shape and structure. This can be accomplished using both physical examination and tools like Golden Ratio callipers to measure facial proportions. Accuracy when injecting cheek filler via supraperiosteal techniques such as using needles should always land on bone with as few ridges as possible present – drawing an outline of zygomatic bone can assist this process to ensure correct placement of needles.
Injecting the Filler
No matter your goal–whether that be Hollywood-chiseled cheeks or simply adding youthful volume back into your cheeks–dermal filler for cheeks is a simple yet powerful solution that can transform facial structure. Used correctly, dermal filler can give definition to facial features while framing them and creating a soft yet strong lateral curve from lower eyelid to cheekbone.
Cheek filler injections are an art, and understanding the proper techniques will ensure you achieve optimal results while minimizing side effects. For instance, using a cannula instead of needle can decrease the risk of hitting blood vessels during injection process.
Female patients tend to have higher cheekbones while male patients typically have flatter faces which will influence the outcome of this procedure. Furthermore, your skin type plays an integral part in how well the filler integrates with facial tissues and how long its effects will remain effective.
Post-Injection Care
Cheek filler has the amazing power to add definition and shape. It helps augment the cheekbones while also restoring an S-shaped contour in the middle forehead area that transitions into a convexity in mid cheek area and finally curving inwardly along jawline.
When administering injections, it’s crucial that injectors use extreme care in their technique and mark injection sites precisely to avoid injecting into blood vessels accidentally. A blunt cannula with anti-swelling capabilities should help mitigate against this possibility. Iceing will also reduce swelling to reduce this risk further.
Facial fat grafting may also provide relief to those with flat or tired-looking cheeks, by transplanting fat from one area of their bodies into their cheeks. Though not an instantaneous fix, results from facial fat grafting tend to last longer than fillers alone. As with any filler treatment, patients should set realistic expectations about its outcome and expect even small amounts of filler to make an impactful difference in the final look.
