How Cheek Fillers Solve Volume Loss

As we age, we lose the subcutaneous “scaffolding” along our cheekbones and under our eyes that normally supports the skin of the lower face. As we lose these structures, our skin “slumps,” leaving hollows under the eyes and creating folds around the nose and mouth—that’s where dermal fillers and injectables like Sculptra come into play.

The solution: cheek fillers in Denver

In the picture on the left, you can see a woman in her 20s. The structures along her cheekbones are full and high, which makes her look young. Now, look at the picture on the right. You can see her structural tissue sliding off her cheekbone and getting thinner, leaving hollows under her eyes, creating lines around her nose and mouth, and causing sagging along her jawline.

While the loss of volume and structure across the cheekbone is inevitable, you can combat it by replacing it with our cheek fillers in Denver, lifting the skin back into place to create a more lifted and youthful appearance. Fillers can create a more defined cheekbone, fill in hollows under the eyes (also called the “tear trough”), or lift the skin to reduce the presence of folds around the nose and mouth.

What are dermal fillers, and what do they treat?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances often made from hyaluronic acid. They’re designed to restor volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. By replenishing lost volume and stimulating collagen production, fillers can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and rejuvenate aging skin. They work by filling in areas where volume has been lost due to aging, sun exposure, or other factors, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

How do cheek fillers work?

Cheek fillers in Denver, typically comprised of hyaluronic acid, work by replenishing lost volume in the cheeks. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, attracts and retains moisture, providing hydration and volume. When injected into the cheeks, fillers augment the underlying tissue, lifting and smoothing the skin’s surface.

Additionally, the presence of fillers stimulates collagen production, further enhancing skin elasticity and firmness. The result is a more lifted, sculpted appearance with improved facial contours.

Which is the right cheek filler for me?

There are two considerations when choosing a hyaluronic acid dermal filler or bio-filler. The more “cross-linked” (a medical term that describes how tightly the filler sticks together) a filler is, the longer it lasts and the more support it can give your skin. The more rigid a filler is, however, the more it will be visible under the skin. As such, you have the following cheek filler options:

  • Firmer fillers like JUVÉDERM Voluma® and Restylane Lyft® to sculpt a cheekbone or a chin
  • Medium fillers like Juvederm® or Versa® for fine lines and wrinkles
  • Softer fillers like Restylane® Kysse® and JUVÉDERM Volbella® for tear troughs
  • Bio-filler is often called “designer filler,” because it can function as either a firm, medium, or soft filler depending on how it’s designed during the creation process

What is the recovery time after cheek fillers?

After injections with cheek fillers in Denver, you may experience mild side effects like bruising, redness, or swelling, which typically subside within a few days. About one-third of patients may develop small bruises at the injection site. However, cheek fillers involve little to no downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately, provided you avoid vigorous exercise for a day post-treatment and refrain from major social events for about 72 hours.

How soon will I see the results? How long do the results last?

You’ll notice immediate results after your cheek filler treatment, with visible improvements in facial contours and volume. These results last between nine to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. While most patients achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing after one treatment, additional touch-ups may be desired to maintain the look over time.
