FAQ Dermal Fillers for the Cheek Area
Explore this FAQ section to learn everything you need about this popular facial rejuvenation treatment, from its definition to its benefits, potential side effects, and recovery.
What areas of the cheek can be enhanced with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance various areas of the cheek, including:
- Mid-face: The area beneath the eyes and above the nasolabial folds, responsible for youthful fullness.
- Upper Zygoma: The cheekbone itself, enhancing its definition and projection.
- Lateral Cheek: The outer part of the cheek, contributing to a sculpted and lifted look.
- Submalar Triangle: The area under the cheekbone, reducing hollowness and under-eye shadows.
The specific areas targeted will depend on your individual needs and desired outcome.
Who is a suitable candidate for a cheek lift with dermal fillers?
You might be a good candidate for a cheek lift if you’re experiencing:
- Loss of volume in the cheeks can result in a sunken or flattened appearance.
- Sagging skin in the mid-face area: Leads to a tired or aged look.
- Flat or undefined cheekbones: Lacking the youthful contour and definition.
- Prominent nasolabial folds: These lines run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Consulting a qualified practitioner is essential to determine your suitability and create a personalised treatment plan.
How long does a cheek lift with dermal fillers take, and is it painful?
The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes. While most patients find it tolerable, a topical numbing cream can be applied to minimise any discomfort. Some fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic, for added comfort.
How long do the results of a cheek lift with dermal fillers last?
The longevity of your results depends on several factors, including:
- Type of filler used: Different fillers have varying durations.
- Your metabolism: How quickly your body breaks down the filler.
- The area treated: Some areas may metabolize filler faster than others.
Generally, results last between 6 and 18 months. However, some patients may experience longer-lasting results. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects of the filler.
