We can observe that the cheeks lose volume with age, due to the flattening of the bone structure, shrinkage and sagging of the cheek fat pads, and this makes the person look tired and sad. In some people, we can see that the cheek projection is missing due to the flatness of the cheekbone structure. The protruding cheek structure, called the Ogee curve, gives women a more feminine appearance. Especially in order to achieve this look, which is called the top model look, many women prefer cheek filling applications. Considering the difference in anatomy, we perform filling applications to the cheek area in many male patients.
WHO ARE SUITABLE FOR CHEEK FILLER?
- People who have loss of volume and sagging in the mid-face area with age
- In order to obtain a more feminine appearance in people who do not have a prominent cheekbone protrusion
- We benefit from the application of cheek filling in people who look hollowed around the eyes due to loss of volume in the midface.
WHAT IS APPLIED AS CHEEK FILLER?
Since we perform injections on the bone, we can perform hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite filler applications. We can provide a more pronounced lifting and volume effect with less volume with fillings with higher lifting capacity and denser consistency.
WHEN WE SEE THE RESULT AFTER CHEEK FILLER AND HOW LONG IT LAST?
The most important advantage of filling applications is that the effect appears immediately. Since there is no significant swelling and bruising after the cheek filler application, we can return to our social life immediately.
It is possible to achieve an effect that lasts for 1-2 years due to the fact that the region is not an overly active region and more dense materials can be used.
HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
After numbing with local anesthetic cream for approximately 30 minutes, we perform injections with needle or cannula technique.
The advantage of the cannula method is that the entry points are also less, so the probability of swelling and bruising is less.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO TREAT UNDER-EYE CIRCLES WITH MIDDLE FACE APPLICATION?
We see that the main reason for this is the lack of volume in the middle face and the sagging of the face that occur with age in patients with under-eye hollowing. Although it is thought that under-eye treatment can be treated with soft fillers applied directly to the area, it should be noted that optimal treatment cannot be achieved without intervention on the midface.
WHAT IS THE COST OF CHEEK FILLER APPLICATIONS?
Price changes according to the type and amount of filler used.
