Cheek Augmentation With Fillers

Cheek fillers are a minimally invasive, injectable treatment to increase volume in the area above and around the cheekbones. Several types of dermal fillers are available for a custom cheek augmentation. They include hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Radiesse®, or a filler that produces longer-term results such as Sculptra®.

Who is a good candidate for this treatment?

The decrease in volume of facial bones and loss of facial fat can occur as the years pass. This can lead to loss of cheek volume, along with wrinkles, lines, and a sagging jawline. If you’re bothered by volume loss in the cheek area, you may be a good candidate for cheek augmentation with injectable fillers. You may have inherited a facial structure that lacks visible cheekbones, and desire a more sculpted look. Creating a subtle volume at the cheek area can provide you with a more refined facial profile and enhance your natural beauty.
