Your Cheek Filler Guide – What You Should Know

Interested in how cheek fillers can transform your look? Cheek fillers are a popular injectable treatment that we offer at Beyond Skin Aesthetics in Gahanna, Ohio. They’re designed to add volume to your cheeks, lift sagging skin, and define your cheekbones. We understand that you feel your best when you look your best, and cheek fillers are an excellent choice to help refresh your appearance. By learning more about what cheek fillers can do for you, you’ll be equipped to decide if this treatment has a place in your skincare plan. Let’s explore the benefits, the procedure itself, and the recovery process so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

What Does Cheek Filler Do?

As we age, it’s completely natural for our cheeks to lose volume, resulting in a thinner and more hollow appearance. Cheek fillers are designed to enhance your facial appearance by adding volume to your cheeks. This is achieved by injecting a dermal filler, usually made of hyaluronic acid, under the skin.

Hyaluronic acid attracts water to the injection site, providing support to the face and restoring lost volume, resulting in a fuller, more youthful appearance.

Beyond adding volume, cheek fillers can define your cheekbones, providing a more sculpted look that accentuates your natural facial contours. The treatment is quick, and the results are visible immediately, giving your face a subtle, rejuvenated and refreshed look.

What to Expect From Cheek Filler Treatment

When considering cheek fillers, the first thing to do is schedule a consultation with our expert aesthetic medicine providers at Beyond Skin Aesthetics. We’ll evaluate your facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals to ensure you clearly understand what cheek fillers can achieve for you.

We’ll start by cleansing your face and applying a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Then, one of our experienced aesthetic injectors will inject a hyaluronic acid-based filler into specific areas of your cheeks. These injections are expertly placed to add volume, lift sagging skin, and define your cheekbones. The entire process typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour.

During the procedure, the filler immediately lifts and plumps the treated areas, giving your face a more youthful and contoured appearance. Results are visible right away, though you may experience some initial swelling at the injection sites.

Recovery is usually straightforward. Most people encounter mild swelling and bruising, which generally resolves within a few days. We advise avoiding strenuous activities and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours, and our team will send you home with personalized aftercare instructions.

Results from cheek fillers can last from six months to two years, depending on the filler we decide to use and your unique metabolism. It is important to schedule follow-up appointments if you’d like to maintain your results.
