What Is Cheekbone Contouring with Filler?
Cheekbone contouring with dermal fillers is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that offers numerous advantages for those seeking to enhance their cheekbone appearance. Dermal fillers are specifically formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to add volume and restore lost volume to the cheek area. By strategically injecting these fillers into targeted areas, Dr. Cangello can effectively contour and sculpt your cheekbones, creating a more defined and youthful facial structure.
This FDA-approved treatment1 can effectively address the loss of volume in the midface, create high cheekbones, smooth smile lines (nasolabial folds) and lines around the mouth, improve the jawline, and enhance the appearance of under eye hollows.
Benefits of Cheek Filler Treatment
There are numerous benefits associated with cheekbone contouring with fillers, including:
- Non-surgical alternative to traditional methods like cheek implants
- Improves the projection and shape of the cheekbones
- Achieves a more youthful, lifted, and sculpted look
- Natural-looking results, that don’t appear overdone or artificial
- Provides an instant improvement in the facial appearance
- Requires little to no downtime
- Results are long-lasting
- Can improve overall self-confidence
Types of Cheekbone Filler
Restylane® Lyft
Restylane® Lyft is a popular hyaluronic acid-based filler specifically designed for adding volume and contour to the cheeks. It is FDA-approved and known for its long-lasting results. Restylane® Lyft’s formulation provides a smooth and natural-looking enhancement to the cheekbones, resulting in improved facial symmetry and a more youthful appearance.
Juvéderm® Voluma
Juvéderm® Voluma is another hyaluronic acid-based filler that is FDA-approved for cheek augmentation. It is specifically formulated to address age-related volume loss in the midface, enhancing cheekbone projection and restoring youthful contours. Juvéderm® Voluma provides long-lasting results and offers a subtle lift and rejuvenation to the cheeks.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a unique dermal filler that contains poly-L-lactic acid. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra® stimulates collagen production in the skin, resulting in gradual and natural-looking volume restoration. It is an excellent option for individuals seeking long-term improvement in cheekbone structure and contour. Sculptra® treatments typically require multiple sessions spaced over several months to achieve optimal results.
Candidates for Cheekbone Contouring with Fillers
Ideal candidates for cheekbone contouring with dermal fillers are individuals living in NYC (or willing to travel) with concerns about flat or asymmetrical cheekbones, those experiencing age-related cheek volume loss, and those desiring a more youthful appearance or enhanced facial contour. This non-surgical option appeals to those who prefer a minimally invasive procedure without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery.
Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about the potential results.2 During a consultation, Dr. Cangello will assess your facial structure and determine if cheekbone contouring with injectable fillers suits your aesthetic goals.
Preparing for Cheekbone Contouring
Before embarking on your cheekbone contouring journey, you’ll start with an initial consultation with Dr. David Cangello at our New York City office. During this consultation, Dr. Cangello will take the time to understand your specific goals and expectations for your cheekbone enhancement. To ensure a safe procedure, it is crucial that you openly discuss your medical history, including any medications, allergies, and prior facial procedures and/or surgeries.
In order to determine the most suitable approach for your cheekbone contouring, Dr. Cangello will inquire about the desired look you wish to achieve. He will perform a thorough physical examination, including taking precise measurements and photographs of your facial structure. Based on this assessment, Dr. Cangello will then explain the injectable treatment that will best fulfill your aesthetic goals.
The Cheekbone Filler Procedure
The actual procedure is quick and comfortable, typically taking less than an hour to complete. Prior to the treatment, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any potential discomfort. Dr. Cangello will then carefully inject the dermal filler into specific areas of your cheeks according to your treatment plan, strategically sculpting and contouring your cheekbones to create a more defined and lifted appearance.
Cheekbone Contouring Recovery and Results
Following the cheekbone contouring procedure, you will notice an immediate improvement in the shape and volume of your cheeks. However, it’s important to keep in mind that there may be some initial swelling or bruising, which is temporary and should subside within a few days.
The duration of your results will depend on the specific filler used and individual factors, but typically, the effects can last anywhere from several months to a year or more. Dr. Cangello will provide aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and help you maintain the results for as long as possible.
