The purpose of cheek filler is to eliminate volume loss in the middle area of the face and achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. This procedure can be customized according to the person's age, skin structure and expectations.
Why is Cheek Filler Preferred?
Cheek filler is an aesthetic procedure preferred for various reasons. Some of these reasons are listed below:
Reducing Signs of Aging: With aging, the fat tissue in the face decreases and the bone structure changes. Cheek filler eliminates the volume loss caused by these changes and provides a younger and fuller appearance.
Regulating the Shape of the Face: Cheek filler compensates for volume loss in the middle area of the face and makes it possible to achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.
Increasing Self-Confidence: A fuller and younger looking face increases the person's self-confidence and helps them feel better.
Combination with Other Aesthetic Procedures: Cheek filler can be applied together with other aesthetic procedures such as eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty or face lift, thus achieving a more holistic appearance.
Natural Look: Cheek filler provides natural-looking and realistic results. Fillers adapt to the natural contours of the face and do not create an artificial appearance.
How is Cheek Filling Done?
Cheek filler is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon or dermatologist. The basic steps of the procedure are listed below:
Evaluation: First, the surgeon evaluates the patient's facial structure, skin condition and expectations. The appropriate filler and amount are determined.
Preparation: Before the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the patient's skin. This minimizes discomfort during the injection of the filler.
Injection: The surgeon injects the filler into predetermined points. The filler is applied to the cheek area with thin needles.
Shaping: After the injection, the surgeon shapes the cheek area with his fingers and adjusts the fullness. In this way, the fullness is ensured to look natural.
Completion: After the procedure is completed, the patient is rested and the skin is checked. Additional adjustments are made if necessary.
The cheek filler procedure usually takes 30-45 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia. There is a short recovery period after the procedure.
How Long Does Cheek Filling Last?
Cheek filling provides a long-term result, but it has a lifespan that varies depending on the structure of the injected filler. In general, cheek filling results are as follows:
Own Fat Tissue: When the patient's own fat tissue is used, the filler is permanent and the full appearance of the face continues for many years.
Synthetic Fillers: Synthetic fillers are effective for 6 months to 2 years. At the end of this period, fullness may decrease and repeat injections may be required.
Mixed Applications: In applications where own fat tissue and synthetic fillers are used together, the results may be longer-lasting.
The permanence of cheek filling results may vary depending on the patient's skin structure, age, metabolic rate and other factors. Regular check-ups and repeat injections when necessary ensure that fullness is maintained for a long time.
