Cheek augmentation

Cheek aug­men­ta­ti­on is the tar­ge­ted addi­ti­on of volu­me over the cheek­bones. The aim is to replace lost full­ness in the mid­face or to accen­tua­te its contours.

Appli­ca­ti­on

A fil­ler based on hyalu­ro­nic acid or cal­ci­um hydro­xyla­pa­ti­te is usual­ly pla­ced deep on the bone or within the fat lay­er. A sup­port­ed mid­face gent­ly lifts the sur­roun­ding tis­sue and can indi­rect­ly sof­ten naso­la­bi­al folds and the tear trough. The goal is a har­mo­nious ogee cur­ve, a soft sweep from the lower eyelid over the cheek.

Good to know

The tre­at­ment takes about half an hour, and swel­ling or brui­sing usual­ly sett­les within a few days. Results last rough­ly one to two years depen­ding on the pro­duct. Too much volu­me can make the face look unna­tu­ral­ly wide. Per­ma­nent alter­na­ti­ves include fat trans­fer or sur­gi­cal cheek implants.
