Sunken Cheeks

Before the filler treatment, there is an opportunity to discuss your wishes and concerns to make the experience as pleasant as possible. The treating physician will then advise you on the amount and type of fillers to be used (hyaluronic acid/calcium-based). Afterward, we will fill the cheeks with fillers.

The most effective filler for the cheeks is a calcium-based filler (Radiesse). This filler stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. You will enjoy fuller cheeks for about 9 months to a year, allowing you to enjoy a youthful and fresh appearance for longer.

You will have a beautiful and natural result with your cheeks. Your cheeks are full again, and you no longer have sunken cheeks. This result is optimal after 2 weeks. When using a hyaluronic acid filler, the effect lasts on average between 6 and 9 months. After this, you will come back for a cheek refill. The effect of Radiesse will last for 9 months to a year.

You will have fuller cheeks, giving you a youthful and fresh appearance. If you are not satisfied, you can come back to your practitioner for a follow-up appointment from 2 to 4 weeks after the treatment. Optionally, you can complete your look with cheekbone fillers to give your face more contour. If you have high cheekbones, sunken cheeks are also less noticeable. Consult and get advice from your practitioner.

Within 48 hours after the treatment, do not massage or rub the treated area. You can move your face, though. After the treatment, you may experience bruising or slight swelling. In that case, cool the area well, for example with a cool pack. The swelling will subside after a few days.

Bruises may be camouflaged with makeup after a few hours, once the injection holes are closed. Also, do not exercise for the first 24 hours after the treatment, and avoid saunas or sunbeds for 2 weeks. Exposure to UV radiation can make the skin more sensitive and affect the results.
