Cheek filler before and after
Results vary from person to person.
What can cheek filler do?
- Lift and project the cheeks – restoring the high point of the cheekbone
- Restore lost volume – for flat or hollow cheeks
- Create contour and definition across the mid-face
- Support the jawline – lifting the cheeks can make the jawline look tighter
- Improve the tear trough area – support from the cheek can soften the under-eye hollow
Cheek filler is often planned together with tear trough filler, 2 Point Jawline Filler™ or nasolabial filler for a balanced result – your doctor will advise what your face needs.
What is used for cheek filler?
Only hyaluronic acid fillers are used for cheek filler at Dr Elif Clinic. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that exists naturally in the body, so the risk of allergy or infection is very low, and the filler can be dissolved if ever needed.
What to expect on the day
- Consultation: your doctor assesses the cheeks in relation to the whole face – including the under-eyes and jawline – and agrees a plan with you.
- Treatment: the filler is placed with a blunt cannula, so bleeding and bruising are rare. Most patients find it comfortable.
- Afterwards: you can return to daily life immediately. Slight swelling may appear the day after and settles within 3–5 days.
- Final result: the filler settles over 2–3 weeks.
Natural-looking cheeks, not “pillow face”
Many people worry that cheek filler will make them look overfilled. At Dr Elif Clinic the cheek is treated as part of the whole face: the goal is to restore the support and contour you had before volume loss, not to add as much product as possible. That is why your doctor looks at the cheeks together with the under-eyes, the nasolabial area and the jawline before deciding how much filler to use and where. Lifting the cheek in the right place can also make the jawline look tighter, so a modest amount can give a fresher, more rested look that still looks like you.
How long does cheek filler last?
Cheek filler lasts up to 9–12 months. It tends to last longer in people who have the treatment regularly.
