Cheek Filler

How does ageing occur in the midface?

As we age, we lose bone and fat from the midface, causing the cheeks to lose their definition and flatten. As the cheekbones are reabsorbed, the soft tissue in the midface loses the scaffolding that props it up, causing it to slide downwards and inwards with gravity, forming nasolabial lines, marionette lines, and jowls. This shift in fat pads from the mid to lower face causes the facial configuration to transition from a heart to a square-shaped face over time.

Does cheek filler help with rejuvenation?

Subtle placement of dermal filler in the cheeks can help address this ageing process. By projecting and defining the cheeks, the tissues in this area will be better supported, to soften the nasolabial lines, marionette lines, and jowls.

Moreover, by reinstating the cheeks as the broadest part of the face, we also restore the feminine heart-shaped face of youth to bring about a younger, fresher look.

Will cheek filler help to beautify my face?

Dermal fillers can also improve the shape and definition of those with flat cheekbones. High lateral cheekbones, which reflect maximum light, can frame the face, highlight the eyes, and provide natural contouring for a more sculpted, beautiful appearance.

Can cheek filler be used to help with tear trough deformities?

Augmenting the cheeks is also the initial step in treating tear trough deformities. By projecting the cheek forward, we support the skin under the eyes to reduce hollowness and under-eye shadows for a brighter, less tired appearance.
