Cheek injections Zurich

For many, high, well-shaped cheekbones are a sign of youth and beauty. Due to weight loss and ageing processes, the natural volume in the cheek area decreases. The connective tissue is less elastic, the skin becomes flabbier and thinner. As a result, the proportions change. Drooping cheeks and sagging cheeks develop, the face appears contourless and often the nasolabial fold becomes more pronounced.

Some people have naturally deep cheeks - even at a young age. With special fillers you can give your face back the lost contour, radiance and fullness. Injecting the cheeks is a proven and low-risk method. The results are visible immediately after the treatment.

If you decide to have your cheeks injected, this is done on an outpatient basis and without any scarring. The natural facial expression is not affected by this - you simply look fresher, healthier and more radiant. Our specialist, Mrs Georgouli, is very experienced in this field and injects the filler precisely into the region to be treated. In this way, the cheek area can be gently evened out and contoured. At the same time, the skin gains moisture and freshness. Depending on the shape of the face and personal wishes, we optimally adjust the amount of filler.

At the Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich we use high-quality hyaluronic acid, which can be ideally distributed in the skin. The filler is extremely skin-friendly - intolerances or allergies hardly ever occur. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs in the body itself and functions like a moisture depot in the skin. The face looks plumper and firmer immediately after the injection. As a positive side effect, nasolabial folds are also slightly reduced, as are wrinkles in the cheek area. The first treatment results are visible immediately - the maximum result is achieved after about two to three weeks. Then we can make minor corrections if necessary.

With special hyaluron fillers, not only cheeks are filled, but also the cheekbones (cheekbone) can be wonderfully emphasised. The face as a whole gets more contour and symmetry. In addition to the right filler, the right technique is crucial. With targeted injections, certain cheek areas can be modelled and lifted in a natural way. The advantages at a glance:

• The nasolabial folds are softened by the volume build-up in the cheek area. The entire face is given a softer expression. The treatment can be combined with injections of the nasolabial folds or a complete wrinkle treatment.
• Eye circles and wrinkles are softened by the additional volume in the upper cheek area, some disappear completely.
• The shape of the cheekbones can be modelled more strikingly: The cheeks are slightly lifted by precisely placed fillers, the lifting effect provides a defined and firmer facial shape.
• Asymmetries are gently corrected.
• Cheek augmentation reduces bags under the eyes and excess skin.

The treatment time is very short at 15 to 30 minutes. If desired, we can inject the nasolabial fold, the chin line or the frown line in the same session. In these cases, the treatment takes a few minutes longer. So you can have your cheeks injected during your lunch break - you are ready to go back to work immediately afterwards.

How long the new volume is retained varies from person to person. The hyaluronic acid is broken down again by the body. As a rule, the result lasts between six and nine months. In some cases and after follow-up treatments even longer. The skin structure and the individual metabolism are also decisive for the durability. You can repeat the treatment at any time or have it refreshed in between.

In rare cases, there may be slight bruising or swelling around the injection site. Should this be the case, you can carefully cool the skin, but avoid strong pressure. These side effects will disappear by themselves after a few days. Cover the area with a little make-up, powder or tinted day cream as needed. Allergies and intolerances hardly ever occur because the body is familiar with the substance hyaluronic acid - it also occurs naturally in the skin and joints. At the Swiss Derma Clinic, we use medically high-quality hyaluronic acid that is free of other additives.

Contouring the cheek area (injecting cheeks) is not only attractive for our female patients. Men often want a striking and masculine look. A good way to give the face more "edge", in addition to correcting the jawline, is to build up the cheeks. The special thing about our hyaluron filler is that it can be individually adapted to every face shape. The shape of the face is corrected through targeted filler placement and the cheekbones can be more sharply defined. Note: The hyaluronic acid is injected superficially into the skin in all cases - the cheekbones appear stronger due to the volume build-up.

The injection of the cheeks is usually a private service. The costs at the Swiss Derma Clinic start at CHF 500 and can vary depending on the effort involved and the desired result. The amount of hyaluronic acid used also plays a role here. In the case of pronounced volume loss and the desire for a strong change, we require a larger quantity. At the Swiss Derma Clinic we will advise you in detail about the expected costs before the treatment.
