Cheek fillers, also called dermal fillers, are injectable treatments that add volume to the cheeks. They can be made from hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite.
When injected into the cheek area, the filler can help lift sagging skin, improve the appearance of hollows, and create a more youthful-looking face. Cheek fillers can also be used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth.
Treatment is quick and easy, and results are immediate. Plus, there is no downtime required after the treatment. You can resume your regular activities the next day. Results typically last for 6 to 24 months, at which point you can come in for a touch-up treatment if you wish to maintain your new look.
When considering dermal fillers for your cheeks, there are two main factors to consider: the desired look and the amount of time you wish the results to last.
For a more subtle look, hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, are a great option. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in our bodies, so it’s very well tolerated. Additionally, because it’s already present in our skin, it creates a natural-looking result. However, remember that this type of filler doesn’t last as long as some others—you can expect results to last up to two years.

At Cienega Med Spa, our experienced medical professionals will assess your face and discuss your goals to determine the best type of filler for your cheeks. The procedure is quick and easy, and recovery time is minimal, but swelling and bruising may occur.
At the consultation, our team of qualified medical professionals will assess your face and see if cheek fillers are right for you. They will discuss your treatment goals, medical history, and concerns to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure.
They will then explain the different fillers available and help you decide which one is best for your goals. Once you’ve decided on the type of filler you want, the team will help you develop a personalized treatment plan and schedule your treatment appointment.
At the treatment appointment, the injector will first clean your face and ensure that your skin is prepped. They will then apply a numbing cream to your cheeks to minimize discomfort. Once numbing cream takes effect, the injector will use a fine needle to inject the filler into your skin.
Depending on the type of filler used and the desired look, multiple injections may be needed. The procedure is quick and only takes about 30 minutes. After the injection, you may experience some swelling and bruising, which should subside within a few days.
After the procedure is complete, the professional injector will give you aftercare instructions and answer any remaining questions that you may have. It is normal to experience some bruising and swelling after filling injections, but this should subside within a week or two. You should avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after getting injections. And while you can wear makeup 24 hours after the procedure, we recommend waiting 48 hours to ensure optimal results.
In the meantime, avoid touching the injection areas and putting pressure on the treated area. It is also highly recommended that you sleep on your back, so your cheeks don’t get pressed against your pillow. If you follow all of the aftercare instructions, you should see immediate results that will only improve as the swelling goes down.
Cheek fillers are excellent for those looking to achieve more contoured and voluminous cheeks. When compared to cheek implants or augmentation, which involves a more complicated surgery, cheek fillers offer a much less expensive option that still produces beautiful, natural results. The procedure is quick with minimal healing time, meaning you’ll see results the very same day. One of the best perks to using fillers over implants is that fillers are not permanent. Fillers can be easily changed and some can even be completely dissolved should you decide to opt for different results in the future.

This is the most common question we get about cheek fillers, and the answer is that it depends. For some people, the injections can be uncomfortable but bearable. Others report feeling only a minor prick when the needle enters the skin. The level of discomfort will vary depending on your pain tolerance and the type of filler used. We always use a numbing cream before injection to help minimize any discomfort.
This answer will depend on the type of filler used and your natural metabolism. Generally speaking, however, you can expect results to last anywhere from 4 to 24 months before needing a touch-up treatment.
Yes, cheek fillers are considered very safe when performed by a licensed professional. The most common side effect is temporary swelling and bruising at the injection site, but this typically goes away within a week. If you have any concerns about possible side effects, discuss them with any of our injectors before getting cheek fillers.
No, cheek fillers will not migrate from where they are injected. They are protected by the body's natural collagen fibers, which prevent them from moving around. However, the body will slowly break down the filler molecules over time.
The enzyme hyaluronidase can remove hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm, Voluma, or Restylane. Only time and natural metabolism will break down the filler molecules.

The downtime for cheek fillers is minimal. Most people experience some swelling and bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. You can usually return to your normal activities immediately, although it's recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours.
