Aging, a decrease in skin collagen, loosening and sagging of the skin and cheeks, and so on are factors that strengthen people's desire to look more beautiful, stay young, and maintain the freshness and vitality of their skin. These reasons also lead to rejuvenation and cosmetic procedures. One of these procedures is cheek gel injection. This injection makes the face more beautiful and makes the cheeks more prominent and fuller; moreover, in addition to older people, many young people also have filler injected to create their desired face shape. In this article we have tried to review all the important points about filler injection in the cheeks. So stay with us until the end.
What is cheek filler?
Cheek filler is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that gives your cheeks a fuller and more defined appearance. Dermal fillers are injected by a dermatology and aesthetic specialist around and above your cheekbone.
Aesthetic service providers offer different types of cheek fillers. The specialist doctor will introduce the best option to you based on your treatment goals.
Cheek filler injection usually takes less than half an hour. Depending on the type of filler you use, the results can last a year or more. Like other cosmetic procedures, cheek filler injection also carries risks, including bleeding and bruising.
Why is cheek filler used?
Cheek filler is usually used for the following:
- Strengthening and defining the cheek lines
- Increasing cheek volume
- Facial rejuvenation
- Filling and removing wrinkles
- Smoothing facial lines
What are the benefits and uses of cheek gel injection?
As we mentioned before, most people think of rejuvenation procedures and injections after they get older. Filler injection is one of the common cosmetic methods, and at present, because of its reasonable price, few side effects, availability and so on, it has attracted the attention of many people. The cheeks are among the common areas for filler injection, covering three points: the temple, the malar zygomatic area and the sub-malar area. These areas are divided based on the shape of the face and cheeks, and the specialist doctor can suggest the best cheek area for injection to their client.
Contouring the cheeks and face as desired is one of the main benefits of this injection. Other benefits include defining the cheeks and creating symmetry in facial volume. Filler injection in the cheeks has relatively high longevity. Cheek gel injection also works quickly. After this injection, it is also possible to reduce the volume of the gel and drain it.
This injection does not damage skin tissue and is absorbed by the skin over time. Of course, we must also pay attention to the quality of the gel used, because low-quality and counterfeit gel will have very many side effects. Inovosense fillers (Shine, Silk, Smile, Style and Shape fillers) are among the best choices for injection. Next we introduce the filler specifically for cheek gel injection.
Which type of filler is better for the cheek area?
As mentioned earlier, specialists generally use hyaluronic acid fillers because of their reversibility, but depending on the volume and the amount of lift the patient needs, the use of other fillers, including calcium fillers, is also possible.
Care tips for cheek gel injection
The care tips for this procedure are divided into measures before and after injection. Before the injection, your doctor must examine you, know your expectations of the procedure, and have complete information about you. This information includes medication use, having various and particular illnesses, gel injection in different areas before this procedure, and so on.
After the examination you prepare for the injection, and you need to carry out the measures before cheek gel injection. Not using tobacco, alcohol, medications and foods that thin the blood, not using cosmetic creams on the day of injection, and taking anti-inflammatory medications are among these measures.
What are the care measures after cheek gel injection?
To make the effect of filler injection last longer and to avoid side effects, you should follow the care tips after the procedure. For example, after injection it is best to:
- Not leave home without sunscreen.
- Avoid washing your face with hot water for up to 24 hours after injection.
- Avoid scratching, massaging and pressing the injection site.
- Sleep on your back for two days.
- Take the prescribed pills on time.
- Avoid cigarettes, hookah and alcohol for at least one week.
- Stay away from exercise and heavy workouts for one week.
- Put an ice compress on your agenda after injection.
How long does cheek gel injection last?
Gel injection is not a permanent method and must be injected continuously at relatively fixed intervals. Of course, by following the care tips you can increase its longevity. Depending on each person's lifestyle and the gel injected, a fixed period cannot be specified for every person, but in most cases, depending on the quality of the product, the effect of the filler remains between 9 and 18 months. Proper nutrition, taking vitamins, drinking water and so on are factors that help increase the effect of the filler.
What is the difference between cheek filler injection and fat injection?
Your specialist doctor may offer you a surgical procedure called "facial fat grafting", also known as "autologous fat injection", as an alternative to the cheek filler injection method mentioned above. In this method, your doctor injects fat taken from another part of your body to restore volume to your cheeks. The results of facial fat grafting can be permanent because the fat is actually transplanted from one area of your body to another.
