Cheek fillers are a non-surgical treatment designed to restore volume, lift, and contour the cheeks. As we age, we naturally lose volume in the mid-face, leading to a hollow or sunken appearance. Cheek fillers help regain youthful fullness, enhancing the cheekbones and improving facial symmetry. This treatment provides a more lifted, refreshed appearance, enhancing the overall balance of the face.

Duration: The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.

Downtime: There is minimal downtime, with some individuals experiencing mild swelling or bruising that usually resolves within a few days. Results are visible immediately, with the effects lasting anywhere from 12 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

Pre- and Post-Care:

• Before: Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements like fish oil for a few days before your treatment to reduce bruising risk. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. If you have any allergies or sensitivities to fillers, consult your provider beforehand.

• After: Avoid touching or applying pressure to the treated area. Refrain from intense physical activity and heat exposure (e.g., saunas) for 24–48 hours. Elevate your head while sleeping for the first night to minimize swelling.

When Not Recommended:

• Not advised for individuals with active skin conditions or infections in the treated area.

• Those with severe allergies to hyaluronic acid or other filler ingredients should consult their provider first.

• Not suitable for individuals who have had previous facial surgeries that may interfere with filler placement.
