What Are Cheek Fillers and How they Work?

As we age, the fat pads that normally plump our mid‑face shrink and shift downward, leaving the cheeks flattened and the nasolabial folds more pronounced. By injecting a gel beneath the skin, cheek fillers lift and sculpt the cheekbones, restore lost volume and create a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and the upper cheek.

Cheek fillers are a category of dermal fillers designed to add volume to the area above and around your cheekbones.  Modern fillers are made from substances such as hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), poly‑L‑lactic acid (PLLA) or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). HA fillers, like Juvéderm Voluma and Restylane Lyft, attract water and add plumpness for about 12–18 months. CaHA fillers (Radiesse) provide structural support and can last around 15 months. PLLA (Sculptra) stimulates your own collagen production for results that emerge gradually and last two years or more. PMMA (Bellafill) consists of microspheres that give long‑term structure and can last for several years.

What Can Cheek Fillers Treat?

Cheek fillers address a variety of concerns associated with aging and facial structure. They are ideal for replenishing volume lost due to natural fat pad shrinkage, weight loss or genetics. Cheek fillers can lift and define the cheekbones, reduce the appearance of deep smile lines, improve hollow or sunken cheeks, correct mild facial asymmetry and create a smoother contour from the lower eyelid through the mid‑face. They can also be combined with other fillers or Botox to refine overall facial harmony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are cheek fillers made of?

Cheek fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that hydrates and adds volume, or Bellafill, a collagen-stimulating filler.
Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements like fish oil or vitamin E for one week to reduce bruising and swelling.
Results from cheek fillers are noticeable immediately following the procedure. However, optimal results become visible after a few days once any initial swelling or minor bruising subsides, usually within one to two weeks.
Cheek fillers typically last between 4 to 6 months, though results can persist for up to a year, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and skincare habits. Premium fillers or those that stimulate collagen production tend to provide longer-lasting results.
To ensure optimal results and minimize side effects, start your preparation approximately one week before treatment. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve), fish oil, vitamin E, and herbal supplements like ginkgo biloba or garlic, as these can increase bruising and swelling. Stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean skin, free from makeup or creams. If you’re prone to cold sores or infections, inform your injector ahead of time, as they might prescribe preventative medication. Proper preparation significantly enhances treatment outcomes and your comfort level.
Immediately after treatment, apply ice packs gently to the injected areas to minimize swelling or bruising. Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to your cheeks for at least 24 hours to ensure proper filler placement. Refrain from vigorous exercise, alcohol, saunas, hot baths, or excessive heat exposure for the first 48 hours, as these activities may increase swelling or bruising.
If you’re not satisfied, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, making the treatment reversible.
Mild; numbing options are available to enhance comfort.
Yes, you can generally return to your normal daily activities immediately following the treatment. However, it’s advised to avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol, and significant sun or heat exposure for 24–48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
Common side effects are mild and temporary, including swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, or slight discomfort at the injection site. These typically resolve naturally within a few days and are easily managed with cold compresses and gentle care. Aftercare involves gentle skincare practices, including applying ice or cold compresses to minimize swelling, keeping your head elevated during sleep, and avoiding pressure or massage on the treated areas. Additionally, it’s important to avoid intense physical activities and excessive heat exposure for the first few days.
Preparation involves avoiding blood-thinning substances such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol several days before the procedure. Staying hydrated, maintaining good skin care practices, and discussing your medical history with your injector beforehand also ensure optimal results.
