The cheeks play a pivotal role in creating a youthful and balanced appearance. Over time, volume loss in the cheek area can contribute to a sunken, tired look, leading to a less vibrant appearance. Cheek filler injections are a non-surgical solution designed to restore volume, lift the face, and enhance your natural contours with subtle, yet impactful results. Dr. Judith Gurley offers expert cheek filler treatments in her St. Louis, MO, practice to help you achieve a more youthful, refreshed look that complements your natural beauty.
Cheek filler is a cosmetic injectable treatment designed to restore volume and lift to the cheeks. The fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that attracts moisture and helps maintain structure. When injected into the cheek area, these fillers provide immediate volume, improving the shape and contours of the cheeks. Whether you're looking to enhance cheekbones or restore lost volume, cheek fillers offer a quick and effective solution with minimal downtime.
The procedure begins with a consultation where Dr. Gurley will evaluate your facial features and discuss your aesthetic goals. The treatment is performed in-office, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Dr. Gurley will then strategically inject the filler into specific areas of the cheek to achieve the desired effect. The entire process typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes, making it an ideal option for patients looking for a quick, effective solution.
