Why do cheekbones lose fullness?
Pronounced cheekbones are a symbol of youth: they give the face firmness, a rested look and an attractive triangular shape. Their appearance is determined not only by the cheekbone structure itself, but by the soft tissues above it – and those tissues change. With ageing, the volume of subcutaneous fat and the amount of collagen and elastic fibres decrease, so mid-face fullness drops, the cheeks descend under gravity, and shadows in the cheekbone region and nasolabial folds become more visible.
Whether the cheekbones have become less defined through ageing and soft-tissue descent or are naturally subtle, hyaluronic acid fillers allow us to influence their shape and size – without surgery and without scars.
Who is the treatment for?
- people with naturally less defined cheekbones;
- people who have lost mid-face fullness with age;
- people with discreet cheekbone asymmetry;
- people who want a firmer, more youthful face without surgical intervention.
Proportion analysis and planning
Every face is unique and requires an individual approach. Before deciding on the amount of filler we analyse the proportions of the face – its width, the length of the nose, the distance between the eyes and the relation of the middle and lower thirds – because the goal is not enlargement at any cost, but a natural effect that restores freshness and firmness. We also discuss your expectations, previous procedures, health status and medication. When wider tissue support is needed alongside volume, we also consider the Radiesse collagen stimulator.
What does the treatment look like?
Anaesthetic cream is applied about 15 minutes before the procedure. The filler is then injected with fine needles at the planned points of the cheekbone region, leaving no scars. The effect is visible immediately – during the treatment you can follow in the mirror how much filler has been applied. The whole procedure takes up to 30 minutes and you go home straight after.
Results and duration
The cheekbones are fuller and more defined, the cheeks visually lifted, the wrinkles around the eyes and lips less visible, and the face appears refreshed and rested. The filler lasts from 10 to 24 months, depending on the speed of your metabolism, the product and result maintenance. The result is reversible – hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.
Recovery and aftercare
- about 12 hours: mild redness and small red marks at the injection points subside; after that you return to your activities freely;
- first 24 hours: no alcohol, no heavier physical activity and no make-up, so the skin recovers faster;
- first 3 days: no sauna, tanning beds, swimming pools or sun exposure.
Frequently asked questions about cheekbone enhancement
Is the treatment painful?
No – anaesthetic cream is applied before the procedure and the fillers contain a local anaesthetic, so the application is practically painless.
When is the result visible?
Immediately after the treatment; the final look is assessed after a few days, once the filler settles and any swelling subsides.
How long does the effect last?
From 10 to 24 months, depending on metabolism, the product used and maintenance.
Will the result look natural?
Yes – the amount of filler is chosen according to the proportions of your face, and the goal is a firm, youthful face, not enlarged cheekbones.
Is the result reversible?
Yes – hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase if needed.
