What is Cheekbone Filler?

Cheekbone filling is an aesthetic procedure performed to clarify cheek lines through hyaluronic acid-containing filling. A balanced and vibrant facial structure is obtained by volumizing the middle part of the face. Cheekbone filling is also known as zygoma. Cheekbone filling is frequently preferred by people who want a fuller facial appearance. 

What Does Cheekbone Filler Do?

Cheekbone filling is performed for aesthetic and functional reasons. Generally, cheekbone fillers sharpen the facial line, eliminate sagging on the face, provide facial proportion, reduce nasolabial lines, rejuvenate and renew the skin.

Who is Cheekbone Filler Suitable for?

Cheekbone augmentation is an aesthetic procedure suitable for people who want sharper facial features, fuller cheekbones and a vibrant skin texture. People over the age of 18 who are in good health can have cheekbone augmentation at any time. Apart from this, people who have cheekbone fillers can be listed as follows: 

  • Those who want to add volume to the mid-face area,
  • Those with weak facial features,
  • Those who want to correct asymmetrical facial texture,
  • People who want long-lasting results are suitable candidates for cheekbone filling.

How is Cheekbone Filler Performed? 

Cheekbone filling is performed by injecting hyaluronic acid-containing fillers into the skin under local anesthesia. Before the application, a local anesthetic allergic cream is applied to the skin and waited for 30 minutes for it to take effect. After the local anesthesia takes effect on the skin, the fillers are injected into the cheekbone with fine-tipped needles. During the procedure, a light massage is performed to distribute the filler to the cheekbone area. 

How Long Does Cheekbone Filler Last?

It takes 45 minutes in total to have cheekbone filling. The first 30 minutes is the time expected for the local anesthetic cream to take effect and the cheekbone filling procedure is completed in 15 minutes.

How Many CC Cheekbone Fillers?

Cheekbone filler is usually applied as 1 to 3 cc. However, the cc rate of cheekbone filler is based on providing a natural and effective appearance. After examining the anatomical facial features of the person, the specialist decides how many cc to use when filling the cheekbone. 

When is Cheekbone Filling Performed? 

Cheek augmentation is an aesthetic procedure preferred when the mid-face area begins to lose volume due to the natural aging process and environmental factors. Plumping the cheekbones also repairs the disproportion in the face and the deepening of the lines. Apart from age, people who want to enlarge their cheekbones can have the procedure done at any time. 

Is Cheekbone Augmentation Permanent?

The permanence of cheekbone filling varies between 1 year and 1 and a half years. Basically, the cheekbone filling permanence rate varies according to the brand, quality and application technique of the materials used. One of the main factors of keeping the permanence of cheekbone filler for the longest time is that people follow the instructions of the specialist after the procedure. 

What are the Advantages of Cheekbone Filler?

While cheekbone filler is a customized treatment, it also provides a general improvement in the face. Plumped cheekbones make the skin look younger and firmer. Age-related tissue loss, gaps and wrinkles are improved with the volumizing function of cheekbone filler. Apart from these, the benefits and advantages of cheekbone filler are as follows:

  • Natural appearance
  • Prominent facial features
  • Balanced skin appearance
  • Fast and long-lasting effect
  • Secure application
  • Affordable costs

When Does Cheekbone Filler Set?

Edema must pass for the cheekbone filler to settle and the final appearance to appear. It takes an average of 7 to 10 days for the cheekbone filler to settle. In the first week after the procedure, the skin should be given time to heal from edema, bruising and swelling. 

Does Cheekbone Filler Hurt?

Cheekbone filling is not a painful aesthetic procedure. Local anesthetic cream prevents the pain that may be caused by injection. After the application, a slight pain may be felt in the cheekbones. Pain and soreness are controlled with painkillers.
