Best Filler for Cheek Hollowness?

When it comes to restoring volume to the cheeks, there are a number of good fillers. I discuss all choices with patients. They range in longevity, ease of injection and cost. Basically the longer it lasts, the more it costs and injection is slightly more complex.
First choice is hyaluronic acids: Juvederm and Restylane. These last from 6 to 9 months in the cheeks. Next in price and longevity is Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus (9 months or more). These are a little thicker, so may feel lumpy (but rarely do). The needle is a little bigger as well so there may be more "black and blue." Next in line is Radiesse, in expense and longevity. The longest lasting filler is Sculptra. Recently FDA approved for cosmetic uses, it takes three treatments but then may last two years or more.
By the way, these also help the naso-labial lines by lifting the cheeks up and out.

Thank you for your question. Volume and contouring of the cheeks can be created with well-placed fillers (Voluma, Radiesse, Bellafill) and Sculptra. Implants or fat are alternatives. Botox and radiofrequency can help slim and contour the jawline. Liposuction can help slim the face. Ultherapy, J Plasma and rf treatments can provide skin tightening and lift. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There are many great options for fillers in the cheeks. Products like Voluma and Restylane Lyft can work great in these areas to provide a long-lasting (but still temporary) result. They do a great job at supporting the tissues of the mid-face. 
Sculptra is another product that works well in the cheeks by stimulating your body to produce its own collagen in the area of the injection. Radiesse also works well, but is a calcium-based product that is made of different material than products like the Restylane and Juvederm families of hyaluronic acid fillers. The downside of Radiesse is that it cannot be reversed with hyaluronidase like the hyaluronic acid products can be if needed.
The cheeks are a very forgiving area as many products work well in the cheeks, but some products work better than others. I always recommend that patients seek treatment with a skilled and highly-trained injector for a personal consultation and individualized treatment plan.
