Lift, Define, and Contour
What is cheek filler?
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.
Subtle Volume and Lift
What is the cheek filler procedure like?
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.
Achieve Sculpted Status
What conditions do cheek fillers address?
Cheek fillers are an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, helping to restore volume, enhance definition, and rejuvenate the face. Here are some common conditions that cheek filler can address:
- Volume Loss: As we age, the natural loss of fat and collagen in the cheeks can result in a hollow or sunken appearance. Cheek fillers restore volume to the mid-face, offering a more youthful and lifted look.
- Flat Cheeks or Cheekbones: Some individuals naturally have flatter cheekbones, which can create a less defined profile. Cheek fillers can sculpt and lift the cheeks, enhancing bone structure and creating a more contoured facial appearance.
- Sagging Skin: As skin loses elasticity, the cheeks can begin to sag, creating an older or tired appearance. Cheek fillers help lift and firm the cheeks, providing a subtle but impactful lift to the lower face.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Hollow cheeks can sometimes lead to deeper lines or wrinkles around the mouth and jaw. By restoring volume, cheek fillers can soften these lines and provide a smoother, more youthful complexion.
- Facial Asymmetry: If one cheek is less pronounced than the other, cheek fillers can help restore balance, creating a more symmetrical appearance to the face.
Cheek fillers offer a versatile and non-invasive solution to address these concerns, providing natural-looking enhancements with minimal downtime.
