As we age, our skin starts to sag and we lose volume from our cheeks, creating a hollowed, drooping look, leading to lines around the mouth (“smile lines”) and jowls. With dermal fillers you’d be surprised how much you can rejuvenate the entire lower face. Restoring the lost volume in the cheeks can soften lines, improve jowls, make the jawline look sharper, make your face appear prettier, and for women, more feminine.
Cheek fillers, like all fillers, are only injected by physicians at our practices. Each of our physicians has years of experience performing filler injections and understands how to create beautifully natural results – so people will notice, but no one will know!

Today’s Best Options for Cheek Injections
Dermal fillers are the best non-surgical technique to augment the cheeks and we offer a wide variety of fillers to accommodate all patients’ needs.
Dermal Fillers
Voluma is our preferred filler, but we also use Lyft, Defyne, Vollure, Juvéderm, and Contour. Voluma and Lyft are made from cross-linked hyaluronic acid that gives the skin a bouncy, lifted appearance. The hyaluronic acid formula simultaneously hydrates your skin for glowing, beautiful results.
The main purpose of dermal fillers is to restore volume and reduce signs of aging by plumping the skin. Each filler offers a different type of formula with a varying time that results will last. At your initial consultation, your provider can discuss these options in more detail and determine which will best fit your needs.

Radiesse
Radiesse is a firmer filler, and its thick formula can mimic areas of bone loss. The calcium-based microspheres found in this formula also stimulate collagen production. Collagen is one of two proteins in your skin that gives it structure and a firm, plump appearance. Radiesse creates an immediate effect with results that last more than a year; depending on your skin condition and how well you care for your skin, some patients have even maintained their results for three years.

Sculptra
Sculptra is a non-surgical solution for pan facial rejuvenation, which looks at the whole face, including the cheeks, to prevent aging. This dermal filler stimulates collagen production and although it may take some time to see the results, they will last up to three years. Sculptra can also be combined with hyaluronic acid fillers for faster results.

Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions About Cheek Injections
- What to avoid after getting cheek fillers?
Avoid sun or UV radiation exposure and do not put pressure on the treated area for at least 48 hours after receiving cheek fillers. You should also avoid waxing, chemical peels, and facials during this time.
- What to expect after having cheek fillers?
You can expect the area to be a little sore and/or bruised for the first couple of days after your treatment but this will resolve itself.
- What should you not do before getting cheek fillers?
Alcohol can increase your risk of bruising so you should stop drinking two days before treatment. You should also avoid waxing, tweezing, and using hair removal cream so your skin is clean and not irritated.
- Where should you not inject cheek fillers?
Cheek fillers should not be injected into the lips, around the eyes, or on the nose.
- How do you sleep after cheek fillers?
To keep your dermal filler in place, sleep on your back with your head elevated for 3-4 days after receiving your injections.
- How long do cheek fillers take to settle?
This depends on the type of filler used, but it will usually take 2-4 weeks for the filler to settle.
- Can cheek filler look uneven at first?
If your face swells immediately after your injections, asymmetry is normal. However, this should settle, and your injections will appear even in about two weeks.
- Can you smile after cheek filler?
Initial swelling may impact the appearance of your smile, but it will return to normal once the swelling goes down.
- Is cheek filler worth it?
Many patients have left satisfied with the results of their cheek fillers. This is a great temporary solution for younger patients who want to hold off on a more invasive, complex surgery.
