Cheeks and Midface Filler
Cheek and midface fillers are injectable treatments that address age-related volume loss in the central area of your face. This can significantly improve facial structure and create a more youthful appearance.
What are Cheek and Midface Fillers Made Of?
The most common type of filler used for cheeks and midface is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a sugar molecule naturally found in your body that plays a role in skin hydration and volume. As we age, our bodies produce less HA, leading to deflation and sagging in the cheeks and midface.
Benefits of Cheek and Midface Fillers:
Restores volume: Fillers replace lost volume in the cheeks and midface, lifting and smoothing out wrinkles and folds. This can create a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
Improves facial structure: By adding volume to specific areas, fillers can define cheekbones, enhance the jawline, and support under-eye hollows. This creates a more balanced and harmonious facial structure.
Minimally invasive: Compared to surgery, filler injections are a less invasive procedure with shorter recovery times.
Recovery and Side Effects:
Cheek and midface fillers are minimally invasive, and recovery is usually quick. However, some temporary side effects are common, including:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness
- Redness
These side effects typically subside within a few days. More serious complications are rare but can occur. It’s important to consult with your provider to discuss the risks and benefits before undergoing treatment.
