Cheek contouring with dermal fillers is a non-surgical solution that can enhance your natural contours, adding volume and definition to your mid-face area.

High, well-defined cheekbones are often associated with youth and beauty, providing a harmonious balance to your facial features. Some people are born with a strong facial bone structure, while some of us look to dermal fillers to achieve the cheek volume we desire without plastic surgery. At Associates in Plastic Surgery, we are dedicated to offering personalized cheek contouring treatments tailored to your individual aesthetic goals. Under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeons, our skilled team provides a full range of dermal filler services to patients in Edison, Marlboro, Warren, and West Orange, New Jersey, ensuring you receive top-tier care in a convenient and comfortable setting.

Procedure

Cheek contouring with dermal fillers is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to enhance and define your cheekbones, providing a more youthful and balanced facial appearance. This non-surgical cheek augmentation procedure involves the use of FDA-approved dermal fillers, which are carefully injected into specific areas to add volume and sculpt the cheeks.1 The fillers, often containing hyaluronic acid, help restore lost volume, smooth out fine lines, and improve facial symmetry. At Associates in Plastic Surgery, we utilize advanced techniques to ensure natural-looking results that enhance your unique facial features. This hyaluronic-acid based treatment can effectively address issues such as mid-face volume loss, nasolabial folds, weak jawline contours, and under-eye hollows, offering a comprehensive solution for facial rejuvenation.

Dermal Fillers

Enhancing your cheekbones with dermal fillers can provide a more sculpted, youthful appearance. Our practice offers top-tier fillers such as Juvederm, Juvederm Voluma, and Radiesse to achieve stunning, natural-looking results. The type of filler used during your cheekbone contouring treatment will be selected by your practitioner based on your unique anatomy and goals.

  • JUVÉDERM®: A versatile hyaluronic acid-based filler, JUVÉDERM® smooths out fine lines and restores volume, giving your cheeks a refreshed and youthful contour.
  • JUVÉDERM® Voluma®: Specifically designed to enhance the cheeks, Voluma® is a member of the JUVÉDERM® family of hyaluronic acid fillers that provides lift and long-lasting cheek volume to create a more defined cheekbone structure.
  • Radiesse®: A unique filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, Radiesse not only adds volume but also stimulates collagen production for firmer, more lifted cheeks over time.

Preparation

Preparation for jawline and chin enhancement is simple and essential for optimal results. Begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and medical history. Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and smoking for a week prior. Stay well-hydrated and arrive with a clean face free of makeup. Wear comfortable clothing and consider arranging transportation, even though downtime is minimal. These steps ensure a smooth and successful cosmetic procedure. Our team at Associates in Plastic Surgery is here to guide you throughout the process.

Our experts will also review your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate for dermal filler treatment.

To optimize your treatment, follow these preparation guidelines:

  • Arrive with a Clean Face: On the day of your treatment, ensure your face is clean and free of makeup to facilitate a smooth application of the filler.

Details

The cheekbone contouring procedure is swift and comfortable, typically completed in less than an hour. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the treatment begins. Our skilled injectors will then carefully administer the dermal filler into targeted areas of your cheeks, following a personalized treatment plan designed to enhance and define your cheekbones. Through precise and strategic injections, we sculpt your cheekbones to achieve a more lifted and contoured appearance. This meticulous approach ensures natural-looking results that complement your facial features beautifully.

Recovery & Results

After the cheekbone contouring procedure, you’ll see immediate improvements in the shape and volume of your cheeks. It’s common to experience some temporary swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days.2 The duration of your results will depend on the specific filler used and individual factors, but generally, the effects can last from several months to over a year.

There is no required downtime after this treatment, allowing you to resume your daily activities right away. However, you might be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours. Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site is possible but usually resolves quickly.

To ensure a smooth recovery and maintain your results, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions. Our team at Associates in Plastic Surgery is committed to supporting you throughout the recovery process and helping you enjoy your enhanced, youthful appearance for as long as possible.
