Cheekbone Filling

Cheekbone filling is a procedure applied to repair the loss of volume of the cheekbones due to age-related reasons, deformities from birth, and losses caused by accidents. In order to give the desired filling and form to the patient's cheekbone, hyaluronic acid, fat injection or stem cell supported fat injection is applied.

If the cheekbone filling will be done with hyaluronic acid, anesthetic cream is applied to the patient before the procedure and the cream is expected to take effect for about 30 minutes. If the cheekbone filling is to be done with fat injection, fat should be taken from the patient by liposuction before the procedure and this fat should be injected.

In fillings made using hyaluronic acid, it is normal to have slight swelling and bruising due to needle insertions. It can be easily removed with ice application and creams recommended by the doctor. Cheekbone filling should be done by specialist physicians. The permanence of the cheekbone filling made with hyaluronic acid is 6 months – 1 year. Fat injection will be the first choice for patients who need high volumes of fillers. It can be said that the filling made with fat injection is permanent at the rate of 70% of its volume, but its permanence is related to the patient's metabolic status, co-morbidities, smoking and is clarified after the examination.
