What Are Cheek Fillers?

Today's range of dermal fillers has something to offer everyone, from individuals seeking wrinkle reduction to those looking to re-contour the cheeks, eyelids, nose, chin, or lips.

For people with low or poorly defined cheekbones, dermal filler injections can build volume in the cheekbone area and lend a sleeker, more sculpted appearance to the entire face. Juvederm Voluma XC and Restylane LYFT are hyaluronic acid fillers used to re-contour, smooth, and add volume to the cheek area. Dr. Bolourian carefully administers cheek fillers via injections made just underneath the surface of the skin. This is a brief procedure—usually taking an hour or less—with results typically lasting between six months and two years.

Your Mission Viejo Cheek Fillers Procedure

Before your non-surgical cheek augmentation, our expert injector will work alongside you to craft a plan for treatment that enhances and complements your unique features. To minimize the injection sensation of the cheek filler, Mission Viejo patients will have the injection site numbed with a topical cream. They will then expertly administer the fillers into key areas of your cheeks to build volume in your cheekbone area, enhance your facial contours, and help lift away fine lines and wrinkles.

Cheek Fillers Results

You will enjoy fuller, more youthful, toned-looking cheeks for between six months and two years after your procedure. The fillers may also improve your facial symmetry and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, or hollow areas. We are confident that you will love the long-lasting results of this minimally invasive treatment. However, should you desire to revise your cheeks further, it is possible to carefully maintain results and touch up with additional cheek fillers as needed.

Cheek Fillers Recovery and Aftercare

We will give you clear aftercare instructions to follow at home, ensuring proper healing and optimal results. You may experience mild swelling and bruising in the treatment area, which typically diminishes within a few days. However, it may take a few weeks for your final results to be fully visible. Follow your aftercare instructions carefully, and never hesitate to contact us with questions during your recovery. Dr. Bolourian and the Orange County Surgical Specialists team are committed to supporting a safe recovery and delivering results you love.

Cheek Fillers Frequently Asked Questions

Face of a woman

What is the difference between Cheek Fillers and cheek implants?

Cheek fillers are injectable dissolvable substances such as hyaluronic acid that add volume to the treatment area, with results lasting between six months and two years. Cheek implants are flexible, solid prostheses that are surgically inserted into the cheeks for more permanent enhancement. Each approach has certain advantages, depending on your needs and preferences. Dr. Bolourian can assist you in comparing approaches and making an educated decision about your treatment.

How long do Cheek Fillers last?

Results can vary depending on the type of filler used and the individual. Cheek fillers typically provide results for between six months and two years.

How is placement decided?

It starts with your anatomy: bone structure, where volume has shifted, and what you want to enhance. Before treatment, your provider maps out injection points specific to your face to make sure the result looks proportionate rather than placed.

Can cheek fillers help with hollows under the eyes?

In some cases, yes. Rebuilding volume in the cheek can lift the support structure below the eye, which softens the hollow look. Depending on your anatomy, a separate treatment targeting the tear trough directly may also be worth discussing.

When will I see results?

Immediately. There may be some mild swelling for a few days, but the final settled result is usually clear within one to two weeks.

Can they be used before significant volume loss shows?

Yes. Some patients in their 30s and early 40s use cheek filler to stay ahead of hollowing rather than respond to it. It's a reasonable preventative approach.

Do cheek fillers work for all face shapes?

They can benefit a wide range of facial structures, but the technique and volume used vary based on your proportions. Dr. Bolourian looks at the whole face before recommending treatment, not just the cheekbones in isolation.

Can they be dissolved?

Yes. Juvederm Voluma XC and Restylane LYFT are both hyaluronic acid fillers, which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you're unhappy with the result or want to make a change.

Is there anything I need to do before my appointment?

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E for about a week before treatment to reduce the chance of bruising. Your provider will give you a full checklist at your consultation.
