A Video Walkthrough of the Cheek Augmentation Procedure
Watch our detailed video to see how the cheek augmentation procedure is performed and what you can expect during your visit. The process begins by understanding your concerns, then choosing the appropriate fillers and marking the area. The purpose of marking is to locate the natural prominence of the cheek and to inject safely and effectively. The natural prominence of the cheek is identified by the intersection of two lines: one line between the corner of the mouth and the corner of the eye, and another line between the corner of the nose and the ear.

Understanding Cheek Filler Injections
Cheek filler injections are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to restore volume and enhance the contour of the cheeks. These injections use hyaluronic acid-based fillers, which are naturally occurring substances in the body that provide hydration and elasticity to the skin. The procedure involves a careful assessment of your facial structure and aesthetic goals, followed by precise injections to achieve a natural, youthful lift. Cheek fillers can address volume loss due to aging, improve facial symmetry, and highlight your cheekbones, offering immediate results with minimal downtime.
Why Do We Lose Cheek Volume?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and fat, leading to a loss of volume in the cheeks. Factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can accelerate this process.
Benefits of Cheek Lift in Edmonton
Cheek fillers offer numerous benefits, including:
- Restored facial volume
- Enhanced cheekbone definition
- Youthful and natural appearance
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Immediate results with little to no downtime
Choosing the Right Clinic for Cheek Fillers in Edmonton
When you’re seeking cheek fillers in Edmonton, it’s crucial to select the right clinic. Start by looking for a clinic with a strong reputation—positive reviews and satisfied clients can offer valuable insights. Experience matters too; it’s beneficial to choose a clinic that has a long history with fillers and can showcase their success stories.
A thoughtful clinic will always prioritize an initial consultation to discuss your individual needs. While it might be tempting to hunt for the best deal, remember that cost often reflects quality. Finally, aftercare is vital; the best clinics provide continued guidance and support post-treatment. In essence, treat the decision with care; after all, it’s your face and it deserves the utmost attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is The Best Filler Type For My Cheeks?
At our clinic, we select the filler types tailored to your needs. Here’s a brief overview of some commonly used cheek fillers:
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Brands such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Teosyal fall under this category. They’re an excellent choice for enhancing cheeks, treating marionette lines, and addressing fine lines and wrinkles. These fillers typically last for one to two years.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite (Radiesse): This type of filler is semi-permanent and stimulates collagen growth. This means you’ll see immediate results that also last longer compared to some other filler types. However, it is more expensive.
- Collagen Fillers (e.g., Bellafill): These fillers are permanent and contain tiny microspheres that stay beneath the skin permanently. Therefore, they provide structural support and enhance the skin’s appearance.
It’s crucial to consult with our professionals to determine which filler type will best meet your cosmetic goals.
What Are The Side Effects Of Cheek Fillers?
The procedure at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is generally deemed safe and is well-tolerated by the majority of our patients. However, like any cosmetic treatment, there can be side effects. Some of the more common reactions post-injection include redness, swelling, bruising, and a bit of tenderness or slight pain at the site of the injection.
Fortunately, these symptoms are often short-lived and typically fade away within a few days. Above all, our commitment at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is to your safety and well-being. We are meticulous in our methods, aiming to reduce any potential risks. Our dedicated team is on hand to discuss any concerns and ensure your journey with us is both pleasant and fulfilling.
Will My Cheeks Look Natural After The Treatment?
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, our top priority is ensuring you leave with a naturally enhanced appearance after treatment. We achieve this by focusing on each individual’s unique facial structure, making sure that our approach highlights your inherent beauty.
Therefore, instead of a generic solution, we provide treatments that are tailored specifically to your needs and desired outcomes. By employing the most current techniques and using the right amount of filler, we strive for a delicate uplift that retains a natural look, steering clear of the overly “filled” appearance. Our overarching objective is not just to rejuvenate, but to do so in a manner that harmoniously blends with and elevates your existing features. With us, you can be confident in obtaining a balanced and naturally glowing result.
How Long Do Cheek Fillers Last?
On average, the results from cheek fillers last between 6 to 18 months. However, the lasting effects can vary based on a couple of factors. Different types of dermal fillers have their own durations, and how long they last can also depend on an individual’s body — specifically, how quickly it processes and breaks down the filler.
Therefore, to get the most from your cheek fillers and to know how often you might need touch-ups, it’s a good idea to talk with our professionals. At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, we can create a plan specifically for your needs. So, plan a visit, and we’ll help you choose the best options for lasting, beautiful results.
Is The Cheek Filler Injection Painful?
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre, our cheek filler injection process is meticulously crafted to ensure minimal discomfort for our clients. Generally speaking, most individuals find the procedure to involve very little discomfort. Moreover, to enhance the comfort level, we administer a topical anesthetic or numbing cream before the injection.
Dr. Alhallak further employs the use of a blunt cannula for the injection, a specialized technique known to significantly curtail pain, swelling, and bruising. Your well-being and ease are paramount to us, and we strive to make every session a positive and comfortable experience for you.
What Is The Recovery Time After Injection?
Recovering from cheek fillers and cheek augmentation at Albany Cosmetic and Laser Centre is generally straightforward and quick. Most of our patients find themselves returning to their regular routines just a few hours after the treatment. While some might notice mild swelling and bruising, these effects are temporary and usually fade within a few days. For those who wish to mask any redness or minor bruising, makeup can easily be applied as a convenient solution.
