Cheek Filler… Everything you need to know
Cheek fillers are injections that raise the volume of the area above and around your cheekbones. This provides the illusion of a more defined bone structure. By injecting volume under your skin layer, cheek fillers can also smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
how do cheek fillers work?
The dermal fillers used at YouthTopia are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally produced in the human body. By using hyaluronic acid to add volume to the skin, we are able to lift and enhance the cheeks!
Benefits of cheek filler…
Cheek fillers require little or no anesthesia
Recovery for cheek fillers is quick, and many people can go right back to work or their regular activities afterward
Cheek fillers last for months or years, but the result isn’t permanent, so if you change your mind about them, you aren’t stuck with the result
Cheek fillers carry a very low risk of serious complications or infection.
Cheek fillers can be modified after insertion, meaning that you can add more filler to the injection site until you achieve your desired result.
Cheek fillers are less expensive than more invasive plastic surgery for making your cheeks appear more defined.
How long do cheek fillers last?
Depending on the type that you choose, cheek fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before results are no longer noticeable. The dermal filler material eventually dissolves and metabolizes into your skin tissue.
Does the procedure hurt?
Pain is extremely subjective and everyone has different thresholds, however, the products we use contain anesthetic. A topical numbing agent is also applied to reduce any discomfort. We will check in on your comfort levels throughout the cheek injection procedure.

Avoid vigorous physical activity or any large intakes of alcohol for 24 hours as this increases the risk of bruising. Aspirin and Vitamin E should not be taken one week before the treatment.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects usually occur within 24 hours post-treatment. These include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. We are available for follow-up consultations if you have any concerns.
How will my cheeks look & feel after the treatment?
Cheek filler results are visible straight away. You may experience some swelling and bruising for 1-5 days, however, this is completely normal after a cosmetic injectable treatment. During this time, an ice pack should be applied to the area to reduce any swelling & bruising.
Are cheek fillers safe?
Cheek fillers are a low-risk, fairly straightforward procedure with minimal recovery time. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a risk of side effects. Common side effects of cheek fillers include:
swelling
bruising
