Cheek Filler (Cheekbone filler)

Cheek filling procedure aims to give a brighter and more energetic appearance to patients who experience troughs and a loss of volume on their cheeks or mid-face and look weary as a result.

How are cheek fillers applied? 

Cheek fillers can be applied with needles or the cannula method. Applying fillers on the cheekbone areas with fine-tipped needles accentuates the cheeks and creates a lifted appearance. If there are troughs on the middle part of the cheeks, they are filled with the cannula method. Using at least 2 ccs filler on cheeks creates a noticeable difference in young patients in terms of prominent cheeks and effective lifting. The filler may amount to 4 ccs if the face is very hollow.
