As we age, our collagen begins to break down, and we lose the volume, tension, and elasticity in our skin and face. This can leave us looking weathered, asymmetrical, and wrinkled and begin to weigh on our self-confidence. Luckily, there are fast, effective, and affordable options to rejuvenate our beauty and restore our self-esteem.
What are Cheek Fillers?
Cheek fillers or dermal fillers are non-surgical injectables composed of safe solutions that are injected with fine needles just below the skin’s surface in order to create volume, contour the cheeks, give the look of chiselled cheekbones and create the illusion of a more trim and toned face.
Some common fillers used in cheeks include:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Revanesse
This is a synthetic version of the substance found naturally occurring in the body, namely the tissue. HA works to provide hydration and increase volume in the treatment area. Common name brands include JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®.
Result duration: Typically 12 months
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)
This manufactured synthetic substance stimulates collagen production. It’s typically used to alleviate deeper cheek wrinkles. A brand name of this is Sculptra®.
Result duration: Typically 24 months

What to Expect During Your Cheek Fillers Procedure
Cheek injections are a minimally invasive and non-surgical procedure that is a quick trip to the office, yielding quick results and minimal downtime. When booking cheek fillers with our expert team, we will begin with a personal consultation reviewing your medical and health history, medication list, and goals for treatment.
Once we have established your vision, we will numb the area with a topical freezing agent and leave it to numb the area upward for 40 minutes. Please alert our team of any allergies, especially to numbing or freezing agents.
Next, we will use fine needles to inject the selected substance into the cheeks to form the desired look. You may feel a pinching sensation, but the numbing agent should render the treatment virtually painless.
Once the injections are done, we will monitor you for side effects or immediate reactions. During this time, we may administer an ice pack to reduce the chance of swelling, bruising, redness, and pain.
These are self-limiting and will subside. We will provide you with aftercare instructions and have you self-monitor for signs of infection or serious side effects. Results will begin to show within weeks but may take a month to reveal their full potential.
Preparing for Cheek Fillers
The procedure itself is short in duration, but some preparation should start a few weeks in advance.
- It’s advised that you avoid the use of pain relievers one week leading up to the appointment. If you must use something, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the recommended choice.
- Avoid fish oils and vitamin E, and ask about additional supplements and medications, as they could affect the healing process.
- Avoid dental cleanings, treatments, and any vaccinations two weeks before and after the session date.
- Take an antiviral if you are prone to cold sores, as the procedure can reactivate the infection.
- Come prepared with your health history, medications list, and vitamin and supplement list, and be ready to discuss your medical history in depth.
