Cheek fillers are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can be used to restore volume to the cheeks, define the cheekbones, and create a more youthful appearance. The procedure involves injecting a safe and natural substance, such as hyaluronic acid, into the cheeks. The filler plumps up the skin and provides a more lifted and contoured look.
There are many benefits to cheek fillers, including:
* Restores volume to the cheeks, making them look fuller and more youthful.
* Defines the cheekbones, creating a more chiselled look.
* Lifts the face, reducing the appearance of sagging skin.
* Improves the overall appearance of the face, making it look more symmetrical and balanced
There are several different types of cheek fillers available, including:
* Hyaluronic acid fillers: These are the most common type of cheek filler. They are made from a naturally occurring substance that is found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are safe and effective, and they typically last for about 12-18 months.
* Polylactic acid fillers: These fillers are made from a synthetic material that is slowly absorbed by the body. Polylactic acid fillers can last for up to 2 years.
* Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers: These fillers are made from a natural mineral that is found in the bones. Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers can last for up to 3 years.
There is no downtime after cheek fillers. You may experience some mild bruising and swelling, but this should go away within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately.
As with any medical procedure, there are some risks associated with cheek fillers, including:
* Bruising
* Swelling
* Infection
* Allergic reaction.
