Temporary Saline Cheek Injection?

Question

I am curious about cheek injections is it possible to do a saline cheek injection to see how it will look before using a filler? thanks very much

Stephen Weber MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

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.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

Saline can be injected first to give you a better idea of the effect of fillers in your cheeks, but it is very temporary.  However, if that makes you feel more comfortable before having fillers put in, it may be worthwhile to pursue.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

it is possible to undergo saline injections into the cheek, however there very temporary and they do give a good idea of what fillers or an implant might look like. Fillers are also temporary. If you're looking for a permanent solution to cheek augmentation consider placing cheek implants.
