What is cheek filler?

 

Fillers will increase the size of the cheeks, making your cheekbones look better. Aestheticians inject the filler into your cheeks. The filler injection of cheeks typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Often, you can observe the results of this method quickly and see results. You may also have some mild side and swift effects, such as swelling, redness, and bruising (that will disappear). You should get a filler from reputable brands and do it by an experienced practitioner. Based on the type of filler you use, the results of that can remain. Like other methods and cosmetic practices, cheek filler has risks as well.

Different Types of Fillers:

 

There are different types of skin fillers that can be used on cheeks. Below are some of these fillers explaining how each of these fillers works, and the types of check fillers.

 

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Hyaluronic acid is the most common filler available. In fact, there is a residue in your skin. As age increases, HA levels in the skin decrease, and this causes skin volume to decrease. Your practitioner uses HA to increase skin volume and also to keep it hydrated. Results from HA filler usually last about a year.

• Hydroxyapatite Calcium (CaHA): Hydroxyapatite calcium is a natural substance. practitioners use CaHA to fill and smooth the cheek also filling smooth lines. Results from CaHA usually last approximately 15 months.

• Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA): Poly-L-Lactic Acid helps your body make collagen. practitioners usually use PLLA to fill wrinkles. Results from PLLA usually last approximately 2 years or even more.

• Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA): Indeed, the same collagen grains are used to look like cheeks. practitioners use PMMA to tighten and improve the appearance of cheeks. Results from PMMA remain for years but may be injected multiple times.

 

 

How Common are Cheek Fillers?

 

The use of cheek fillers is very common. Over 3 million people annually in the United States use skin fillers.

 

 

Who Should Not Use Filler?

 

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not use cheek filler. In general, all non-essential practices for the pregnant person are prohibited.

 

Cases of Prohibition of Type Fillers:

• People who have synthetic materials available in their fillers.

• People with haemorrhagic disorders, such as haemophilia patients.

• Some of their immune diseases.

• Individuals with some infections, such as dental infections (abscess), rhinoplasty, or gastritis (gastroenteritis).

• People with TB disease.

 

 

Conditions before Operation Filler Type:


Before you get cheek filler, you have a consultation session. During the counselling session, if our physician detects filler for you, the physician offers the most suitable cheek filler for you. Our practitioners evaluate your face and ask about your medical history.


• Allergy: If you have a specific allergy, you should avoid filler before injection and tell the practitioner.

• Self-safety conditions: Cheek fillers may cause complications in some diseases.

• Digestive conditions: It may be possible in people with diseases such as Crohn’s or Ulcerative colitis, but it rarely happens.

• Medications and Supplements: The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diluting anticoagulants, and some supplements can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.

• Other actions or aesthetic methods: Previous fillers can affect the other actions and methods used in this step.

• Skin Diseases: If you have a specific skin disease or a specific skin disease, avoid injecting fillers.

• Cigarette: Smoking may slow down the process. Cigarettes are the enemy of HA and can destroy the HA fillers.

 


Your practitioner will notify you of possible side effects and recovery time. Sometimes, your practitioner may also mark the location of injections on your face. The practitioner will also take photos of your face as a record to examine the results before and after the injection, as it is necessary to examine the pictures for the next sessions you visit.

 

 

Conditions during cheek filler injections:

 

During the operation, the practitioner will use lotion, cream, spray, or even comperes on your skin. Some fillers are already in use. Your practitioner will use a thin needle to inject a little filler in. He may have the filler in several areas of the cheeks. It may hurt a little during the injection, but generally, injecting the filler won't hurt. The filler injection usually takes approximately 15-30 minutes.

 

 

Conditions after injection of cheek filler: 

 

Your practitioner may place a compress on the areas immediately after injection to cool them. Up to a few days after filler injection, you may experience bruising, inflammation, or inflation. After one to two days, or finally one week, the result is immediate, and you will see the work, but it is better to see the final result until the hyaluronic acid filler opens in your skin, and the inflammation is eliminated.

 

 

Advantages of cheek fillers:

 Compared to more aggressive beauty surgeries, fillers have several advantages. The results are immediate and faster than surgery, but it's better to wait for the hyaluronic acid filler to open up completely in your skin take your face form and reduce inflammation. They are also lower cost, have fewer risks, the results are not permanent, and changes are possible. The time of recovery is quick and without need.

 

 

Risks and complications from cheek filler: 

 

There are possible complications of fillers, such as bruising, swelling, redness, and in case of injection without quality filler. These symptoms are usually temporary and within 1 to 2 weeks. Also, if you use invalid fillers, fillers may be transferred, causing your face to look asymmetric. If this happens, the physician can use another kind of filler. If you use invalid fillers or go to non-expert ones, it will bring more or more expensive filters. These symptoms include an allergic reaction to fillers, infections, leakage and release filler, anaesthesia, extreme inflation (Adam), injury or skin scar, and changes in skin colour. Rarely seen is the filler injection into the blood vessel, which might cause damage to the artery or vein, death of tissue, or vision loss.

 

 

Recovery post-injection cheek filler: 

 

Any bruising or swelling caused by the filler shall be within a few days. For faster recovery, your practitioner may have the following cases: for several hours after injection, make, and use lotions, avoid touching the injection site, don't smoke, to prevent disruption in the fillers, and do not be exposed to the sun.

 

 

Time of return to work after cheek filler injection:

 

Your practitioner may advise you to refrain from 24 to 48 hours. Usually, you can take routine activities immediately.
