Cheekbone and Cheek Filling

Since cheek augmentation is performed under local anesthesia, minimal discomfort is felt during the procedure. Slight swelling or bruising may occur after the procedure, but these side effects usually disappear in a short time.

After the procedure, it is important to follow the specific care instructions given by your doctor. Generally, it is recommended that you avoid putting pressure on the procedure site for the first few days, avoid heavy exercise and drink plenty of water to reduce possible edema.

The effect of cheekbone and cheek fillers usually lasts from 6 to 18 months, depending on the filler material used and the person’s metabolic rate. For long-lasting results, periodic refresher sessions are recommended.

Light and low-intensity activities are usually not a problem after cheekbone and cheek filler procedures; however, it is important to avoid intense exercise for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Before returning to sports, it is best to follow your doctor’s recommendations to ensure that your healing process is progressing correctly.

Cheekbone and cheek augmentation procedures are extremely safe when performed by an experienced aesthetic physician and when quality fillers are used. The fillers used are approved by the FDA and are substances that are tolerated by the body and naturally absorbed over time.

The results of cheekbone and cheek fillers can usually be seen immediately after the procedure. As the swelling decreases after the procedure, the volume and contour provided by the filler become more pronounced. Most patients can observe the full effect of the filler within the first week after the procedure.
