Cheek Augmentation
Yes, fillers are a great way to augment the cheeks without using an implant. I generally use Radiesse because it lasts longer than almost all the others, but any of the thicker fillers will work. Fat is also a good choice and can be permanent

Augmenting cheeks
A thicker filler, such a perlane, juvederm ultra plus, or radiesse, are great options for cheek augmentation. Sculptra is a filler that stimulates collagen and also helps to replace volume in cheeks. Consult with a board certified dermatologist to discuss what option would work for you.

Options for enhancing cheeks
Longer lasting fillers such as Radiesse have many advantages over cheek implants. One obvious advantage is that surgery is not required. Another is that you can get either a rapid or a gradual correction depending upon how many syringes you have injected and you can decide as you go exactly how much correction looks good. Another advantage is that cheek implants may no longer look good in an aging face as it changes over the years. Touch up treatments for fillers can be modified over many...

Cheek augmentation fillers or implants.
It is more cost effective by far to do implants. The only complication is a veryinpr chance of infection. Fillers can make bumps and need to be continually done.
