Many fillers are appropriate for cheek augmentation
There are several very good dermafillers currently available in the U.S. for cheek augmentation and more are on the way. Often the type of filler chosen depends largely on the experience and preference of the injector.
In my practice I offer Hyaluronic Acid fillers (Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm) these have are made of a jelly like substance that naturally occurs in the skin, eyes, and joints. They have subtle differences in there consistency, thickness, and feel, but...

Perlane vs Juvederm: Enough to give you a HEADACHE
I know this is difficult for the consumer to understand so I like to make analogies to explain the difference.
When you have a headache and you want an aspirin, does it really make a difference if you are given Anacin, Bufferin, Excedrin, Ecotrin, St. Joseph's, Generic aspirin? (They all contain the same active ingredient - aspirin)
Probably not. Right? Some people would argue that Excedrin contains caffeine and is better for migraine sufferers and Bufferin is better for patients with a...

Subtle difference between Perlane and Juvederm
Both Perlane and Juvederm are hyaluronic acid fillers. There are at most subtle differences between them in my opinion. They are both excellent fillers.
Your decision should come down more importantly to the qualifications of the doctor, your perception of the consultation, and their artistic style rather than to which filler is better.

Fat Grafting
Structural fat grafting is a powerful tool for correcting one of the primary processes of facial aging: the gradual loss of facial soft tissue volume, which primarily represents the atrophy of facial fatty tissue. The importance of restoring facial fullness cannot be emphasized enough, for without it, very few facial cosmetic surgical procedures are truly rejuvenating. As we age the skeletal features of the face become more obvious, and create subtle visual clues that tell...

Firm fillers give cheeks the lift and volume needed.
As we age, loss of volume in the cheeks results from not only skin and subcutaneous tissues shrinking, but even the bones shrink,(!0. Soft fillers such as Juvederm would replace the soft voliume loss, but to replace the firm volume loss and givedefined support back to the soft tissues, Radiesse or Perlane are ideal. For "first-timers", unsure of whether they want to commit to the "look" of this correction, starting with Perlane is nice as it...

Non Surgical High Cheek Bones
The presence of high cheek bones is part of the so-called ideal appearance for women. For proof of this, you only need look at all the models in the fashion magazines. Flattened, drawn or fallen upper cheeks, on the other hand, make a face look more aged and tired. Cheek implants are a surgical approach to the problem.
The nonsurgical use of volumizing agents to restore the cheeks or create them (in the case of individuals with long, thin faces who never naturally had them) has...

Options in fillers for cheek augmentation
Patients have several options when augmenting their cheeks. Typically this area requires a thicker filler for best results. In our practice, we have had good results with the use of Radiesse to this area. It is also possible to use a thick hyaluronic acid-base filler such as Perlane. Our patients, however appreciate the longer lasting results that they can see with Radiesse.

Either Perlane or Juvederm for cheeks
Either Juvederm or Perlane would be appropriate for cheek fillers. They are both types of hyaluronic acids but they are made by different companies. I use both of these products in my office for the cheeks. I get great results with both. The most important thing is for you to find a physician injector whom you trust.

Cheek augmentation with fillers
Juvederm and Perlane (or Restylane) are all in the class of Hyaluronic aid fillers.They are safe effective but only last a certain amount of time, usually 6-8 months or less. If you really would like to have a noticable, high cheek (and in general that is a desirable feature of a feminine face) then you should consider a cheek implant.
They are permanent and in the hands of an experienced surgeon it is quiet safe. They are done through an approch from under your upper lip so there are no...

Perlane and Juvederm are both good fillers, it's the doctor skills are the difference
Perlane and Juvederm are both hyaluronic acid fillers. At our office, we have Perlane , Restylane, Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra plus, Juvederm Forma and the new V oluma (also from the Juvederm line). They are all safe products.There are small differences between these products and it allows us more versatility. We select the best product according to the facial correction we want to do. It can be a different choice from one patient to the next. It's more the skills of the injector that...

Correction of Gaunt, Empty Face
As we age we not only lose facial fat but also facial bone resulting in the empty "table cloth too big for the table" look. While all conventional fillers may be used to correct this appearance there IS a difference between them which is important here.
Juvederm and Restylane, while great for superficial wrinkles are NOT up to the task of lifting cheeks and filling deep concavities and should therefore not be placed deeply. They will not hold up the cheeks not lift up empty cheek...

Minimal difference between Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus
Both Perlane and Juvederm Ultra Plus have larger sized gel particles that are intended to be injected deeper within the skin. Both are fairly equivalent in terms of longevity, and potential for bruising or swelling, especially after excessive massaging. Both are great fillers for someone getting cheek augmentation for the first time. Radiess te offers extended longevity however with slightly greater potential for bruising. Frequent flyers of cheek augmenation, however should consider...

Juvederm and Perlane Comparison for cheeks
Juvederm and Perlane are proprietary names for two different hyaluronic acid fillers with functionally similar, but molecularly different, profiles. Each physician performing facial augmentation with hyaluronic acid will have a preference in the type of filler he uses and the method of injection. Also, select filler may have a better ability to blend into the tissue at various depths of injection.
In terms of Juvederm and Perlane, the major determinant of success largely depends on the...

Perlane and Juvederm are both great products
We use both Perlane and Juvederm extensively, including their use for cheek augmentation. They are indeed very similar products with similar price and duration. Some doctor's offices just prefer to work with one product, but in general most are very comfortable with both.
Since you are talking about cheek injections, it is considered an advanced technique, so I would talk to your doctor and see how many of these procedures he or she does in a week, and I would ask to see some before and...

Cheek Augmentation, Cheek Enhancement, Cheek Fillers, Perlane, Juvederm
Perlane is a larger molecule than Juvederm unless you use Juvederm Ultra Plus which is similar sized to Perlane. I find Perlane gives a bit better result.
