Cheek augmentation is applied with temporary fillers, surgical prostheses and fat injections enriched with stem cells. This aesthetic procedure, which is applied to eliminate the decreasing fat tissue and tired appearance of the face with advancing age, makes the facial contours more prominent and allows the person to have protruding cheekbones.
What is Cheekbone Filling?
Cheekbone filling is an aesthetic application performed to make the cheekbones, a region that affects the expression and appearance of the face, more prominent. This procedure is generally preferred by middle-aged and older people, but it can also be performed at younger ages if needed. Cheek augmentation is a fast and comfortable application that can be applied to both men and women. Cheekbone filling application, which removes signs of aging and volume losses on the skin, is performed to eliminate depressions. With the procedure, the cheekbones are more prominent, visible and the face looks younger and fresh.
How is Cheek Filling Done?
There are more than one filler preferred when cheek filling is performed. These fillers have different contents. The substance used in cheekbone filler may contain beneficial substances such as hyaluronic acid that support cell regeneration, which allows the treated area to heal faster and the overall area to look better. Before the application, anaesthetic cream with a numbing effect is applied to the cheekbones and waited for about half an hour. Within half an hour, this cream takes effect and the specially prepared substance is injected into the area. Thanks to this cream, the person does not feel pain. Cheek augmentation can also be performed with fat injection. For this, the required amount of fat is taken from a certain part of the person's body by liposuction method. This fat is made injectable to the face through a special process and used. If stem cell content is desired during fat injection, the material taken by liposuction is sent to an approved stem cell laboratory and prepared. When the fat with stem cell content is ready for the procedure, it is injected into the cheekbones.
Who Can Cheekbone Filler Be Applied?
Cheekbone filling can be applied to many people. People to whom cheekbone filling can be applied can be listed as follows:
- People over 18 years of age
- Those who have depression and volume loss on their face, especially in the cheekbones area.
- People who want to have a full cheekbone appearance
- People with age-related wrinkles on the face
The procedure cannot be applied to pregnant women, breastfeeding women, cancer patients and people whose general health condition is not suitable for this procedure. The doctor may decide whether the procedure can be applied to people with a history of stroke and chronic diseases after making the necessary evaluations.
Cheek Filling Risks
Cheek augmentation, also known as cheek augmentation, is a low-risk procedure. Side effects are very rare. After the procedure, slight redness may be seen in the treated area. This redness passes within 3-4 hours. The risks of cheek filling are very low when applied by a specialist doctor and this procedure has no known harm to the skin or general health. Since the tissues injected under the skin during the procedure contain substances that already exist in the body, allergies are not expected to occur. The most sensitive point in this regard is that the procedure must be performed by a physician in a sterile environment. Incorrect applications made by uninformed and unauthorized persons can endanger the health of people.
Cheek Filling Prices
Cheek augmentation prices are determined according to the type and amount of filler, the brand of the filler and the experience of the physician who will perform the procedure. There are certain amounts of fillers preferred for the application, but if more fillers are requested, the price may change. You can contact Op. Dr. Can Kopal and his team for detailed information about facial filler prices.
