Temporary Saline Cheek Injection?

You certainly can have saline injected into your cheeks. This is good way to "try on" longer-lasting cheek fillers or simulate a cheek implant. The results are very short-lived, however. Likely within one day the augmentation will have resolved. Another option to simulate a cheek augmentation result is video-imaging that does not require you to undergo any actual procedure but digitally simulates the anticipated result. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Saline cheek injections prior to fillers or implants is in fact what I often do for patients who are undecided. The cost is somewhat less than the cost of a filler.

Certainly you can do saline trial injections before using longer-lasting fillers. It will only give a very short time to see the cheek augmentation effect (less than six hours in most cases) but that is certainly a very safe approach.
