Cheek Fillers: A Non-Surgical Approach to Cheekbone Enhancement
Posted:
Full, sculpted cheekbones are often associated with youth, vitality, and balanced facial aesthetics. For those seeking an enhanced cheek contour without undergoing surgery, cheek fillers offer a minimally invasive and highly customizable solution. At 740 Park Beauty & Hair Restoration, Dr. Stafford Broumand combines artistic precision with advanced injectable techniques to deliver natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s unique facial structure.
Understanding Cheek Fillers
Cheek fillers are injectable dermal fillers designed to restore volume to the midface region, subtly lifting the cheeks and enhancing their definition.1 Most commonly formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA)—a substance naturally found in the body—these fillers provide immediate volume with minimal downtime. Popular HA-based options include Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Lyft, both of which are FDA-approved for cheek augmentation.
The treatment typically takes under an hour and involves strategic placement of the filler to achieve a lifted, youthful contour. Results typically last from 12 to 24 months, and sometimes even longer2, depending on the product used and individual metabolism.
Ideal Candidates and Aesthetic Goals
Cheekbone contouring with dermal fillers is suitable for a wide range of patients, from younger individuals looking to enhance naturally flat cheekbones to those experiencing age-related volume loss. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the subtle nature of non-surgical enhancements.
A key advantage of cheek fillers is their versatility. They can:
- Rejuvenate sunken or hollow cheeks
- Improve facial symmetry
- Create a more contoured, heart-shaped face
During your consultation, Dr. Broumand will assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Safety, Comfort, and Recovery
When administered by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, cheek filler treatments are generally very safe.3 Dr. Broumand uses refined techniques and premium products to ensure precision, minimize discomfort, and reduce the risk of bruising or swelling. Topical numbing agents and fillers with lidocaine help enhance patient comfort.
Most patients return to normal activities immediately following treatment, with minor swelling or tenderness resolving within a few days. To maintain results, periodic touch-ups may be recommended.
