Cheek Fillers in Singapore: Improve Your Facial Contours with Cheek Filler Treatments

Cheeks are important aesthetic features of the face. A full lifted cheek makes the face look youthful, vibrant and confident. It also makes the eyes look lively. Flat cheeks, on the other hand, look gaunt and aged in appearance. Saggy cheeks are also often associated with laugh lines. Cheek filler is one aesthetic solution to flat cheeks and has great aesthetic outcomes.

But is it safe? Is it painful? If you are considering cheek filler treatments to be done in an aesthetic clinic, not to worry, the treatment is a safe procedure and is done with minimal pain (if done with proper technique). Read on to find out why.

WHAT ARE CHEEK FILLERS?

For the procedures involving fillers in Singapore, cheek fillers are probably one of the most common. Flat sunken cheeks can be due to flat cheekbones or inadequate cheek fat. With a flat cheek, skin elasticity over the cheeks is lax, and smile lines appear visible as a result. Cheek fillers involve injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the sunken cheeks to replace the volume loss, and the cheeks are raised in the process. The end result is a younger, fresher-looking face with reduced fine lines and wrinkles. What’s more, it is mostly an office procedure with minimal downtime.

TYPES OF CHEEK FILLERS

There are several approved and registered (with HSA) fillers in Singapore. A Hyaluronic acid filler (or HA filler) is a filler that consist of hyaluronic acid. Filler treatments with HA fillers are by far the common choice of dermal fillers among aesthetic clinics. That is because they are reversible (with a reversible agent called hyaluronidase), biodegradable and safe (with a low incidence of any tissue rejection or allergy reactions). However, what you might not know is that there are many brands of HA fillers with different characteristics. Understanding these differences will help us choose the ideal dermal filler for the cheeks.

Korean Fillers

Korean fillers, also known as EPTQ, are made up of hyaluronic acid and are known to have a hydrating finish effect. Korean fillers are typically utilised to attain voluminous cheekbones, leaving patients with a sculpted look.

Korean fillers can last anywhere from 12-24 months (varies depending on individual lifestyle factors and requirements).

PDLLA Filler

PDLLA Filler, also known as a PDLLA Collagen Stimulator, is a filler that can effectively address loss of facial volume and elasticity at the cheeks. It is made for those seeking a facial volumising effect and also a comprehensive restoration solution. 

PDLLA Filler works by increasing collagen production in the deepest layers of the skin. While you can effectively address the ageing concerns of the skin with it, you can also reap the regenerative properties of this filler.

PCL Filler

PCL Filler contains polycaprolactone, which is a biodegradable material commonly used in surgical sutures. It not only has a filling effect but also has a biostimulatory effect, which stimulates collagen formation. Because of this collagen stimulation effect, it is thought that PCL Filler has a face-lifting and rejuvenation effect.

RISKS AND BENEFITS OF CHEEK FILLERS

The benefits of cheek fillers treatment far outweigh the risks for face rejuvenation.

Benefits

Face lifting

Replenishing the volume loss that comes with ageing skin will visibly lift the face. Results are visible, and even the laugh lines and marionette lines are lightened.
Fuller upper face

A fuller volume to the upper face always appears youthful and fresher in appearance.
Reduce face wrinkles and increase skin firmness
With fuller cheeks, the skin has better underlying support and is further stretched. This reduces the skin wrinkles visibly, making the face appear younger in appearance.
Improves eye rings 
(under the eyes)
By addressing the volume loss in the areas around the eyes, cheek fillers also improve the appearance of eye rings (or tear troughs) visibly.
Improve appearance of laugh lines (or nasolabial folds)
With cheek fullness and a lift, the nasolabial folds will also lighten.
Non-surgical 
procedure
Cheek fillers are typically a quick office or clinic procedure with minimal recovery time (as compared to surgery).

Injection technique (how we make it bruise-less, almost painless and improve the lift)

In Ozhean Zoey, our doctors use blunt cannulas instead of sharp needles, as cannulas do not cut tissues and gently tease them aside. As a result, the risk of bruising and discomfort is low.
With gentle pinches and gentle advances of the cannula, our patients feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.
It is important to place the dermal fillers in the deep fat plane instead of the superficial plane. Filler material placed in the superficial plane will make the cheeks look bulky and heavy, and that may aggravate the smile lines. Placing the substances or materials with the correct amounts in the deep plane will lift the cheeks and, ironically, make the cheeks look more compact.

Duration of results

Cheek dermal fillers last long from 2 years or above in duration, depending on the choice of fillers.

Risks

Bruising

With any injectables, there is a risk of skin bruising that will mean days of downtime for the patient. We take great pains to minimise any skin bruising for our patients. We do so by using gentle techniques and blunt cannulas (instead of sharp needles) in administering the cheek fillers. Most of our patients do not have any skin bruises post-treatment.

Pain

Most of the cheek fillers are done with topical anaesthesia to make the procedure comfortable. Along with the gentle techniques used by our doctors, this treatment is a comfortable procedure.
Vascular Necrosis/ Vascular Complications
These complications are rare in aesthetic clinics and are more commonly noticed in beauty salons when erroneous techniques are used.

How do our doctors avoid vascular complications with cheek fillers?

  • Caution and care are taken by the doctor to avoid the blood vessels of the face are and that is the key to avoiding vascular complications
  • Gentle techniques are employed by the doctor to reduce any damage to blood vessels. Dermal filler injections are usually done slowly and precisely. When needed, the fanning technique is employed when administering the filler substances, which reduces the chance of injecting any large amount of fillers into vessels. Withdrawing the syringe before the substance is injected is also an important technique to prevent injecting into vessels.
  • In Ozhean Zoey clinic, our doctors have a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy. This anatomical knowledge is crucial in avoiding injecting the product near any blood vessels of the face.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH CHEEK FILLERS?

There are minimal side effects with cheek fillers and minimal risks (as stated above).

Undesirable cheek results are usually due to poor product placement, which is avoidable with proper techniques.

HOW IS THE CHEEK FILLER TREATMENT DONE?
  1. The patient is examined, and the facial volume is assessed. This is to determine the amount of fillers required and the type of fillers ideal for cheek augmentation
  2. Topical local anaesthesia is applied.
  3. The treatment area is marked.
  4. A small injection point is made, and the cheek filler treatment is done. Only a single and not several injection points are needed.
  5. Results are often seen right after.
CHEEK FILLER TREATMENT PRICE/ COST IN SINGAPORE

Costs of cheek fillers can range from $900 onwards.

Typically, cheek fillers are also considered with nose fillers and chin fillers. That is because the cheeks, nose (nose bridge), and chin form a beauty triangle, and the balance between these features is important in facial aesthetics.

FAQS

Cheek dermal fillers last up to 2 years or more, depending on the brand of fillers.

Cheek filler is a safe procedure that gives more volume to the skin area and cheekbones.

The risks of bruising are low, thus minimal down time.

People should avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for at least 24 hours. Avoid any facial massage for at least 2 weeks.

After cheek fillers, the area of injection may feel mildly sore, but no visible signs of pain. You might be able to “feel” the fillers when you feel your cheek (albeit no lumps should be visible). Any feelings of discomfort should subside in a few days. After weeks, the fillers will be integrated with the facial tissues and no longer be palpable.

Cheek fillers tend to have a long duration of results (depending on the brand). Therefore, you will only require a top-up infrequently. Permanent fillers are still deemed unsafe and are hardly used in clinics. To improve skin moisture and appearance, and reduce facial volume loss, treatments should be taken continuously.
