The prominence of cheekbones is one of the most decisive criteria in today’s perception of beauty. The ideal face shape is if the cheekbones are prominent and the chin area has a soft V-shaped line. Cheekbone filler is used to achieve this triangular face shape. Cheekbone filler, which is frequently preferred by celebrities due to the youthful and strong appearance it gives the person, has become increasingly widespread in our country.
Why is Cheekbone Filling Done?
High cheekbones give the person a younger and stronger expression. It makes the face look thinner in the chin area and has the ideal triangle-shaped appearance. With aging, the tissues in the cheekbones may become sunken or the cheekbones may not be prominent at birth. Cheekbone filling can be performed to give the face its ideal shape and reinforce the aesthetic appearance. Weakness also causes the face to appear more sunken. Similarly, rapid weight gain and loss may cause collapse in the tissues above the cheekbone. Cheekbone filler can also be used to eliminate depressions on the face.
How to Perform Cheekbone Filling?
Before performing cheekbone filler, it is very important to correctly diagnose the area to be filled and the needs of the patient. The patient’s wishes and facial structure are evaluated in detail by the doctor. How much dose will be used in the procedure and which areas will be applied are evaluated. After this point, the implementation phase begins. Filling application takes approximately 20 – 30 minutes and is painless. The fact that it is a procedure performed with needles causes many patients who are uncomfortable with the shape of their face to avoid the procedure. However, pain is almost not felt during the procedure. Analgesic creams are used to numb the area and the procedure is completed in a short time, painless and without surgery. Mild redness and swelling may occur after the filler is injected into the face. This is usually a temporary side effect and does not require additional treatment.
What is the Filling Material Used in Cheekbone Filling?
Fat can be injected into the area to fill in the cheekbone and give it a fuller and more youthful appearance. However, today, thanks to the developing opportunities and innovations in filling applications, much healthier and natural filling materials are used. The most preferred of these are synthetic filling materials containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic is safe because it is a material found in the skin’s own tissue. It is also used in many facial filler applications along with cheekbone filler.
Is Cheekbone Filler Harmful?
As filler applications become more widespread, questions about the effect, content and side effects of the application have increased. Cheekbone filler is not a harmful procedure as long as it is applied with the correct method and in the correct dose. It is vital to apply the acid-containing filling material slowly and at the right rate to prevent damage to the area. At this point, most of the responsibility falls on the aesthetic specialist. Cheekbone filler is a harmless application, except for errors that occur in the application. There is almost no allergen risk.
Is Cheekbone Filler Permanent?
Cheekbone filler is also a temporary filler. However, we can say that it is more permanent than other types of fillers since it is applied to a more stable and immobile area than other areas on the face. The effect of cheekbone filler lasts approximately 1 to 2 years. If the effect is desired to continue after this period, the application must be renewed.
Botolinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum and related species. It causes soft paralysis by preventing the release of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter from axon endings. Infection with this bacterium causes botulism disease.
Mesotherapy is the technique of applying vitamins, minerals, amino acids or enzymes alone or usually as a mixture to the middle layer of the skin by microinjection. The substances to be injected are selected according to the person and the person’s wishes. Mesotherapy can be used for skin tightening, lifting, anti-aging, blemish treatment and scar treatment in the facial area.
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.
