Can a cheek augmentation lift sagging skin?
Sounds appealing, right? Unfortunately, the concept of using a cheek augmentation to lift sagging skin is incorrect. Even very reputable clinicians claim that adding volume to your cheeks creates a lifting effect. They promise improvements in sagging skin around your smile lines and jawline. At most, enhancing the cheeks with cosmetic injectables may lift the skin by a few millimetres, if at all.
So, why do people claim the cosmetic injectables can lift?
If performed comprehensively, cosmetic injectables can give a more lifted look. However, this is because augmenting your cheeks gives your face more structure. If sculpts a more tapered face shape, which can be perceived as looking ‘lifted’.
If you want to look more lifted, a cheek augmentation can help. Usually, its better to also address your temples, jawline, chin and skin folds as well, for a more noticeable improvement. However, if you want a definitive lift to sagging skin, surgery is required.
How is a cheek augmentation performed?
We usually enhance the shape and structure of your cheeks using dermal fillers. There are two techniques used to precisely place the fillers to augment your cheeks.
Sharp needles are used to inject filler in precise locations. This adds precise support to key areas of your cheeks.
Using a sharp needle is quick and can target very precise areas, however it comes with a slightly higher risk of bruising and swelling.
Blunt-tipped cannulae are used to place filler over larger areas. They are ideal to restore or enhance general cheek structure. A cannula is inserted through a pilot hole that is made with a small needle.
Using a cannula reduces the risk of bruising and swelling. It also requires fewer injection points.
What are the benefits of a cheek augmentation?
Enhancing your cheeks gives them more shape, definition and contour. The cheekbone can be highlighted, and the apex given more structure.
A cheek augmentation can support hollow under eyes, and restore volume lost with age or weight-loss. This will help you look refreshed and rested.
Augmenting your cheeks and cheekbones can improve the shape of your face. By adding structure to your cheeks, we can balance your mid-face, and achieve a square or tapered look, depending on your aesthetic preferences.
Is a cheek augmentation safe?
A cheek augmentation is a safe procedure when performed by an experienced professional. It involves placing cosmetic injections into your cheeks to enhance volume, contour, and definition.
While side effects are rare, they include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, and discomfort. Very rare side effects include infection and skin injury. In the case of side effects, we can dissolve any cheek filler used for your augmentation.
To ensure your safety, choose an experienced professional at a reputable doctor-led cosmetic clinic. They will assess your suitability, discuss potential risks, and use proper injection techniques. You should also follow the aftercare instructions, and promptly report any concerns. This contributes to the safety of your cheek augmentation.
