One of the secrets of young and healthy looking skin is full and proportionate looking cheeks. An appearance in which the cheekbones are prominent and the cheeks are upturned and proportionate is considered aesthetically ideal. The decrease in the amount of collagen with age, the skin losing its elastic structure and the decrease in fatty tissues can cause sagging and sagging in the cheeks. Although it does not cause any health problems, this appearance may disturb the person aesthetically and cause him/her to look tired. Cheek filler aims to restore the person’s young and energetic appearance by tightening and tightening the cheeks.
What Results Are Obtained with Cheek Filling?
With cheek filler, many problems seen on the cheeks can be eliminated painlessly and without surgery. Sagging and sagging of the cheeks that occur with age are prevented by cheek fillers. At the same time, the sunken cheek type caused by extreme thinness and genetic characteristics can be made fuller with cheek filler. In addition, the asymmetrical facial expression caused by the disproportion of the cheeks can also be corrected with cheek fillers. Making the cheek area look slightly raised, rounded and full helps rejuvenate the face and make the side profile appearance more attractive. It is also effective in making the cheeks more prominent and fuller, reducing the eye sockets, making the nose look more proportional, and maintaining the forehead-chin balance.
Which Substance is Used in Cheek Filler?
When performing cheek filling, hyaluronic acid is used, as in many fillings. Hyaluronic acid ensures that the skin maintains its oil and moisture balance and looks more taut and radiant. It has almost no allergenic effect. Because hyaluronic acid is also found in the natural structure of the skin.
How is Cheek Filling Done?
Cheek filling is performed by injecting certain amounts of hyaluronic acid into the cheeks using thin needles called cannulas. The procedure, performed under local anesthesia, is completely painless. First of all, it is necessary to determine the aesthetic defects on the patient’s face, determine the correct procedure and dosage, and then determine the points where the injection will be made. It is essential to determine the appropriate dosage so that the cheek appearance is natural and the aesthetic procedure is not visible. For this reason, cheek filler should be applied by a specialist doctor, like all other filler procedures.
How Many Minutes Does Cheek Filling Take to Apply?
Cheek filler is a procedure that is as simple and easy to perform as it is painless. All operations are completed in approximately 15 minutes.
Does Cheek Filling Cause Pain or Pain?
When performing cheek filling, anesthetic creams are used. Therefore, our patients do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. However, another issue that patients who want to have cheek fillers are curious about is the process after the procedure. It is normal to see slight redness and edema on the cheeks due to the injection. This redness and edema disappear within 3 to 4 hours after the procedure. In rare cases, in sensitive skin, edema may persist for 2 to 3 days. Apart from this, there is no risk and the patient can return to his daily life immediately after the application.
How many sessions does it take to complete cheek filler?
A single session is usually sufficient for cheek filling. During the control examination, the patient’s skin and the effectiveness of the filler are observed. Additional filling can be applied if needed.
Is Cheek Filling Permanent?
Cheek filler is a temporary application. Although it varies from person to person, its permanence lasts up to 1.5 years. During this period, the person’s lifestyle, habits, degree of facial expressions and skin type are also effective.

Bichectomy, one of the aesthetic operations frequently used by those who want to achieve an ideal facial appearance, is performed to make facial lines proportionate. In some cases, even if the person is at the ideal weight, he or she may appear overweight due to the amount of fat in the existing facial structure. The fat tissue located in the middle area of the cheeks is called buccal fat tissue. This fatty tissue, located between the facial muscles, is anatomically located in the lower region of the cheekbones and is thought to contribute to sucking functions in babies. The size of this fatty tissue is one of the main factors affecting the size of the face. With aging, buccal fat tissue generally tends to decrease.
We often use fillers called hyaluronic acid in the face area, especially on the lips. Hyaluronic acid is actually a building block found in our body that has water retention properties. When this substance is depleted in the skin and subcutaneous tissue under the influence of age and environmental factors, it causes some changes that manifest themselves as volume loss. To put it simply, with filler injections, we aim to increase the amount of this water-retaining molecule in our body.
