The benefits of cheek fillers treatment far outweigh the risks for face rejuvenation.
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 more lively. Flat cheeks, on the other hand, look gaunt and aged in appearance. Saggy cheeks are also often associated with laugh lines. Cheek fillers is a wonderful aesthetic solution to flat cheeks and have impressive 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 done with minimal pain (if done with proper technique). Read on to find out why.
For the procedures involving fillers in Singapore, cheek fillers are probably one of the most common. Flat sunken cheeks can be due to flat cheek bone or inadequate cheek fat. With a flat cheek, skin elasticity over the cheeks is lax and smile lines appear obvious as a result. Cheek fillers involves injecting hyaluronic acid fillers into the sunken cheeks to replace the volume loss and the cheeks is raised in the process. Cheek fillers is a satisfying aesthetic treatment. That is because 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 no downtime.
The benefits of cheek fillers treatment far outweigh the risks for face rejuvenation.
Replenishing the volume loss that comes with aging skin will visibly lift the face. Results are distinct and even the laugh lines and marionette lines are lightened.
A fuller volume to the upper face always appears more youthful and fresher in appearance.
With fuller cheeks, the skin has better underlying support and are further stretched. This reduces the skin wrinkles visibly, making the face younger in appearance.
By addressing the volume loss at the areas around the eyes, cheek fillers also improves the appearance of eye rings (or tear troughs) visibly.
With more cheek fullness and a lift, invariably the nasolabial folds will also lighten.
Cheek fillers is typically a quick office or clinic procedure that ]also comes with excellent recovery. (compared to surgery)
Cheek dermal fillers last long from 2 years and above in duration, depending on the choice of fillers.
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.
There are several approved and registered (with HSA) fillers in Singapore. A Hyaluronic acid filler (or HA filler) are fillers that consist of hyaluronic acid. Filler treatments with HA fillers is by far the most popular choice of dermal fillers among aesthetic clinics. That is because they are reversible (with a reversible agent called hyaluronidase), biodegradable and safe (with a very low incidence of any tissue rejection or allergy reactions). However, what you might not know is there are many brands of HA fillers with different characteristics. Understanding these differences will help us choose the ideal dermal filler of choice for the cheeks.
EPTQ fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid and are known to have a hydrating finish effect. EPTQ are typically utilised to attain enhanced and voluminous cheekbones– leaving patients with a more youthful and sculpted look.
EPTQ fillers can last anywhere from 12-24 months (varies depending on individual lifestyle factors and requirements). Also known as Korean fillers, EPTQ can also effectively address sunken cheeks.
Lenisna, also known as a PDLLA Collagen Stimulator is a filler that can effectively address loss of facial volume and elasticity at the cheeks. Lenisna is made for those seeking a facial volumizing effect and also a comprehensive restoration solution.
Lenisna works by increasing collagen production in the deepest layers of the skin. While you can effectively address the ageing concerns of the skin with Lenisna, you can also reap the regenerative properties of this filler.
Ellanse contains polycaprolactone which is a biodegradable material commonly used in surgical sutures. It not only has a filling effect but also has biostimulatory effect which stimulates collagen formation. Because of this collagen stimulation effect, it is thought that Ellanse has a more face lifting and rejuvenation effect. Ellanse is also known to be a costly substance on the market.
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.
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 balance between these features are important in facial aesthetics.
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 distinct pain should be felt. 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 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 the appearance and facial volume loss, treatments should be taken continuously.
