Cheek Contouring and Enhancement
The position and contour of your cheekbones has an influence on the shape of your face and your overall appearance. High, full cheeks signify youthfulness and enhance your other facial features.
If you have a naturally flat cheek shape or your cheeks have started to sag due to aging, we can provide a youthful, contoured look with injectable dermal fillers. The ophthalmic plastic surgeons at Renew Aesthetic Center in Norfolk and Virginia Beach have the skill and experience to provide natural-looking cosmetic rejuvenation.
Benefits of Non-Surgical Cheek Contouring
If you would like the appearance of more well-defined cheekbones, dermal fillers offer many benefits:
- Provides a youthful and sculpted look
- Restores lost volume
- Minimally invasive
- Non-permanent but long-lasting results
- Many patients enjoy using less contouring or highlighting makeup
- May minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the mid-face area
How Do Cheek Fillers Work?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and the pads of facial fat that sit over the cheekbones begin to shift or become thinner, which can cause a tired or sagging look. Cheek contouring with injectable dermal fillers can create sculpted cheekbones that are in better balance with the rest of your face. We offer a range of dermal fillers, and we typically recommend RADIESSE® for cheek contouring. RADIESSE is a water-based gel that contains calcium microspheres to create long-lasting definition. Hyaluronic acid based fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® Ultra Plus, JUVÉDERM Voluma or Restylane® may also be used depending on your aesthetic goals.
Preparing for Cheek Contouring
First you will meet with one of our experienced cosmetic eye specialists to discuss your goals and determine if dermal fillers are right for you. You can minimize your chance of post-procedure bruising if you avoid drinking alcohol or taking aspirin or ibuprofen for several days prior to treatment.
What to Expect During your Injectable Treatment
We will cleanse the skin of the cheek area and apply a numbing product to minimize discomfort. Your ophthalmic plastic surgeon will inject dermal filler strategically to shape and contour your cheeks. The type and amount of filler used will depend on your aesthetic goals. Treatment typically takes just a few minutes.
Recovery After Cheek Contouring Treatment
There is no downtime needed after injectable filler treatment and patients usually get back to regular activities right away. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising that should resolve within a few days. You can expect your results to last up to one
