CHEEK ENHANCEMENT

Cheek Augmentation

Your cheeks are responsible for creating the shape of your face, whether it be round, oval, or long. It is also typically the first part people notice about a person. With age and illness, we can lose definition in the face, making us look unhealthy, unhappy, and older than we actually are. We offer professional cheek enhancement to restore or create a fuller look that more accurately represents you.

When we lose definition in the face, it means the supportive and connective tissue has eroded. This lack of definition allows lines, wrinkles, and depressions to appear and look more obvious. Patients can work with our doctor to design the look they desire. The goal may be too fill in hollowed cheeks, or create symmetry and balance.

There are a few different options for this treatment. Liposculpture, or fat injections, allows patients to use their own fat from other areas to fill in the cheeks in very specific spots. Other types of injections include hyaluronic acid and collagen. Implants using soft filler materials, such as Gortex and Softform, are also available.

Cheek Fillers

Fillers are commonly used in cosmetic dermatological enhancements. They can lift and fill out the lips, eyebrows, and nose. Our doctor uses Sculptra to achieve a healthier, even look in the cheeks. Sculptra is also known as a liquid facelift, and many patients prefer it as an alternative to traditional facelifts, due to its lack of human DNA and animal products. This treatment uses a synthetic form of Poly-L-lactic acid, or PLLA. As it incorporates with the dermis it stimulates your body’s collagen production. This means the development of volume and structure in your face is all your own.

Our doctor will likely recommend about four sessions over the course of several months. The effects of Sculptra are known to be long-lasting, with many patients still enjoying results for up to two years. Most patients are candidates for this treatment.

At an appointment with our doctor, they will examine your skin and medical history to determine your candidacy and how you could benefit from cheek enhancement. We can also show many before and after pictures to give you a better idea of what is possible. Schedule an appointment with us today.
