Fillers are an excellent option for Cheek Augmentation

Fillers are truly an excellent option for both dramatic and very subtle changes to the cheeks. As we age we experience volume and fat loss in the face that can create hollows and shadows that weren't there previously. Some people lack volume or projection in their cheeks and mid-face throughout their lives...Cheek bone challenged shall we say.... Though any of the fillers can be used for augmentation, I prefer Radiesse for those wanting the quick... more

Fillers and fat injections for cheeks.

There are many different fillers available for fillers. The most readily available filler is your own fat. This tends to involve a minor surgical procedure but has the potential to be the best long term solution. Other fillers include Perlane, Resytlane, Radiesse, as well as many other fillers depending on your particular condiiton as well as surgeon preference or experience. Discuss options with a qualified injector.

Great option for cheek augmentation

A long lasting filler such as Radiesse is an excellent option for cheek augmentation. this can be done progressively and sculpted to look great and extraordinarily natural. The key is a very deep placement to act as a true implant . More superficial placement is a poor choice and may result in real problems that are difficult to correct and take a long time to resolve.. The modern fillers are much better and more reliable than fat injections. I feel that this is in fact the best use of... more

Cheek Augmentation with Fillers

Dramatic results can be achieved using fillers for cheek augmentation. The duration of improvement is longer if the patient's own fat is injected to sculpt the cheek contour. The obvious advantage is minimal time for recovery.

Nonsurgical Cheek Enhancement with Injectable Filler Augmentation

Hi urbay in florida, Cheek enhancement can be done without surgery. While plastic surgery such as cheek lifts, midface lifts, or silicone cheek implants work well in appropriate candidates, nonsurgical cheek treatments can also produce great results to enhance the face and cheeks. Nonsurgical cheek enhancement procedures include fat injection, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Selphyl. Selphyl is the newest method and least studied at this time. Injectable fillers are typically given... more

Nonsurgical Cheek Augmentation Works Very Well

Loss of the cheek fat pads with the years, as well as the downward migration of whatever remains of these pads, contributes indirectly to the development of many of the facial changes we commonly describe as facial aging. These include the hollows, dark circles, crinkles and bags under the eyes, pronounced smile lines and marionette lines, and even the jowls along the jawline. It goes without saying that it leads directly to the loss of the rounded contours of the cheeks and the blush of... more

Fillers provide significant change to cheeks

Fillers that are injected deep and just above the bone of the cheeks can provide a dramatic improvement in cheek fullness and youthfulness. The two most common fillers I use for this application are Radiesse and Sculptra and each has a little different profile and effectivness. Discuss your goals with your surgeon and come up with a plan that works for you. Best Wishes Dr. Peterson

Cheek Augmentation with Injectable Fillers

Yes I love this very simply technique using either Radeisse, Artefill, PMMA, Selphyl, or fat. Results are at leasty a year but everyones metabolism is different so the longevity is uncertain. Best of luck.

Juvederm works well for cheek augmentation.

Artistically placed fillers can make a big improvement. When we want to augment the cheek bones (as opposed to the soft tissues), then we inject Radiesse deeply.

Cheek Augmentation with Injectable Fillers

Yes, cheek augmentation with injectable fillers can make a dramatic difference in the face. The face normally loses its fullness with age. This can help significantly before a facelift, and some facelift techniques worsen this and actually need the added fullness. The MACS Lift and some others actually fill the cheek without using fillers. Both off the shelf fillers and your own fat work well.

Cheek augmentation with fillers

Cheek augmentation using fillers such as Juvederm, Perlane, or Radiesse can improve the aesthetics of one's face significantly. They provide volume in an area that has become deflated with age, or has always appeared flat. They can give the impression of higher cheek bones or truly complement and enhance a facelift. The injection is done in the office under local anesthesia and is an advanced injection so should be performed by someone familiar with the anatomy. I... more

Cheek augmentation with fillers can be a good option

The biggest advantage of using fillers for cheek augmentation is that you can participate in the decision of how much, and exactly where to place the material. There is also a minimal recovery. While not permanent, it is often a good first option, as well as a way to see what it may look like if you later chose permanent implants.
