The face is typically the first place that we start to see the early signs of aging. One of the early signs that is recognized is the deepening of the so-called laugh lines. These are the cheek folds that reach from the corner of your lips to the corner of your nose.
These deep wrinkles are quite often one of the first things that will be noticeable when people look at your face. These wrinkles are even more noticeable when you laugh, smile or talk.
Injectable fillers can help to restore a more youthful appearance by smoothing out your cheeks in a way that looks beautifully natural. Fillers can be used to treat other wrinkles on your face, including around your eyes and lips.
What are cheek fillers?
Loose skin and wrinkles are often blamed simply on aging, but the truth is that volume loss is to be blamed. When it comes to cheek fillers details about these fillers can help you to make the right decision to help you meet your cosmetic goals.
Facial dermal fillers help to restore lost volume on the face. This includes cheek fillers, which can help to add a plump youthfulness to the skin.
While some patients do opt for cheek implants to get the results that they want, cheek fillers offer a faster and less invasive solution to get a plump and youthful look. Surgery can also leave patients swollen for several weeks, and it may take as long as two months before the final results are seen. Fillers offer immediate results. Cheek fillers are also adjustable and reversible if you decide that you don’t want them any longer.
Will the results look fake?
One of the concerns for any person considering a cosmetic beauty procedure is that they don’t want their results to look obviously cosmetic. Dermal fillers offer natural-looking results that don’t give that plastic look that so many patients fear. Certainly there will be some swelling and potential bruising within a day or two of the procedure, but this will pass quickly. The final results will look natural.
How long does the procedure take?
Typically speaking, the procedure itself should take just a few minutes once you are comfortably settled in the chair. A series of small injections is all it takes for you to get the full procedure. Patients find that they are able to return to work and their normal routine with no downtime needed.
What side-effects can be expected after the procedure?
Within the first day of the injections patients typically notice that there is some swelling in the injection sites. This is normal and will resolve with another day or so. There should be little to no actual pain, but some may experience itching, general swelling, bruising and discoloration. It should ease up within a few short days of treatment.
Are cheek fillers safe?
Dermal fillers have been safely used in more than 70 countries. Millions of treatments are performed each and every year, with no concerns reports. Be sure to discuss all of your questions and concerns with your plastic surgeon so that you can make the right informed decision for your cosmetic needs.
