The cheeks are one of the first facial areas to display signs of volume loss. This can begin in our twenties and become more noticeable as we age.
The soft fatty tissue that makes up our cheeks can deteriorate over time. The skin may also thin out and sag, creating a gaunt, hollow look in the cheek area.
Help is at hand in the form of cheek filler in Teneriffe. Read on for the lowdown on the procedures available from Body Dezign House, the best cosmetic clinic Brisbane offers.
The Causes of Volume Loss in Our Cheeks
As we age, we can lose volume in our cheeks. This can make us appear older, more tired, and unhealthy. There are a variety of reasons behind this.
Significant weight loss, particularly in later life, can make the cheeks seem hollow. With less subcutaneous fat, the face loses lift and contour. Many patients are delighted to lose weight but can become troubled by their new-found gauntness or newly visible contours.
Unprotected sun exposure can break down collagen in the skin. Once collagen depletion sets in, cheek volume becomes lost. Sun exposure is one of the key extraneous causes of rapid cheek volume loss.
Like sun exposure, smoking constricts our blood vessels, slowing blood flow and speeding up the degradation of elastin and collagen. Because of this kind of collagen loss, smokers typically develop hollowed cheeks sooner than non-smokers.
Some of us are more genetically prone to volume loss in areas like the cheeks. As a result, midface volume loss often happens earlier as part of the inherent aging process. Genetics is responsible for most of the differences between us in terms of nose shape, eye spacing, lip volume and general facial size.
How Cheek Filler Can Help in Volume Loss
Cheek filler treatments can help restore lost volume and fullness. They can return balance to our facial features, making the cheek area seem less narrow and more oval. Cheek filler can tighten and lift sagging skin over the cheekbones, simultaneously minimising fine lines.
The accurate placement of cheek filler can help contour and reshape the cheeks for a preferred facial profile, whether oval, heart-shaped or inverted triangle. We refer to cheek drooping as ptosis and cheek fillers can reverse its effects, returning the cheeks to a higher position that appears more youthful.
A cheek filler treatment also improves facial proportionality. Because the treatment is non-surgical, you’ll experience minimal discomfort, next-to-no pain and no significant downtime.
Achieving Natural Cheek Filler Results
The expert injection techniques we use for cheek filler treatments ensure natural-looking results. Multiple thin threads of filler prevent unnatural bumps or lumps from occurring. Injecting the filler at different depths allows for even integration into the tissue, cutting out the chance of any irregularities. A creative eye for facial aesthetics helps ensure a balanced outcome bespoke to the individual.
The strategic placement of dermal filler is vital for natural-looking cheek enhancement. Our cheek filler focuses on the cheek hollows, adding volume exactly where necessary. We avoid overfilling the upper cheeks, which can cause an unnaturally round “chipmunk” look.
Using the right kind of dermal filler is also vital for natural-looking results. We use kinder, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers that imitate the movement of facial tissues better than stiff, dense fillers that can create an artificial appearance.
Although some people may initially be looking for an overly filled cheek, we believe that moderate correction using a dermal filler is usually the best approach. Smaller amounts of cheek filler can still produce dramatic results. The best practice is to begin small and build the volume over further sessions as required to ensure the most natural appearance.
