Cheekbone filler and augmentation without surgery
To lift sagging cheekbones it is no longer necessary to resort to plastic surgery techniques. Advances in aesthetic medicine have found an effective and minimally invasive solution to treat those sagging cheekbones. On the one hand, the treatment is effective in young patients (both women and men) who wish to redefine their cheekbones and cheeks, especially if they have gone through phases of weight gain and weight loss.
On the other hand, one of the most common effects of skin ageing is also the loss of elasticity and volume in the face, generating a flaccidity that begins in the cheekbones. In this case, toning the area and improving its appearance can also help to restore a more rejuvenated and luminous appearance to the face.

What does cheek augmentation consist of?
It must be taken into account that with the passage of time, facial skin loses collagen and elastin, substances that provide support and elasticity to the soft tissues, reducing the fullness of the cheeks and the projection of sagging cheekbones. To correct this effect of ageing, or to prevent it and gain projection if the cheekbones are not naturally marked, aesthetic medicine offers a non-surgical solution
Cheekbone redefining and augmentation is an aesthetic medicine technique that aims to restore an optimal, symmetrical shape and greater projection to sagging cheekbones and cheeks. Taking into account the individual facial features, the points to be treated in this specific area of the face are planned in order to improve elasticity and smoothness, gain volume and improve facial symmetry.
The filler material used to perform this medical-aesthetic technique is hyaluronic acid, a natural component found in our body that has multiple benefits for the skin, including the contribution of volume, improved hydration and, consequently, the attenuation of visible signs of ageing in the treated area, such as expression lines and the furrows that appear.
What technique is applied in cheek augmentation?
Currently, the most effective technique is the use of microcannulas for the injection of hyaluronic acid. On the one hand, microcannulas are fine needles that allow the product to be deposited in specific areas of the face, minimising the possibility of bruising after the application session.
On the other hand, hyaluronic acid is a biocompatible and biodegradable filler material, which allows us to provide volume and hydration, redefining contours and improving the definition of the cheekbones. In addition, today there is a new generation of this type of material, more cohesive and dynamic, specifically formulated to treat the area.
It is worth mentioning that the release of the product by means of the microcannulas must be carried out by a qualified medical-aesthetic professional. The mastery of the application technique is fundamental to achieve the objectives set with the patient. For this purpose, the type of original cheekbone will be taken into account in the initial diagnosis.
That is to say, the areas of application of the product to alleviate the effects of flaccidity and sagging will depend on whether the original cheekbone is of the following type: high, starting at the temple; low, starting at the corner of the mouth; wide, typical of round or square faces; centred, without pronouncing the cheek when smiling; or small, when the cheeks are more fleshy.
What are the advantages of cheek augmentation facial treatment?
- The effect of the micro-injections begins to be noticed immediately after the first application, although the desired effect is achieved after one or two weeks.
- It is a medical-aesthetic treatment, so it is minimally invasive, as well as quick and simple. It is carried out in two sessions: first the application, then a check-up.
- It is practically painless and there is no postoperative period, as it is a non-surgical procedure that does not require subsequent recovery.
- It is a reversible treatment as it uses a biodegradable and safe material that is gradually reabsorbed, its effects disappearing after 1 or 2 years depending on the patient.
- The treatment can be repeated regularly and the facial area to be treated can be enlarged. It is also a preventive treatment at younger ages.
- Cheekbone augmentation in older patients can provide greater vitality to the look as the eyes are less sunken as they gain projection.
- It brings balance to the face by blurring other more prominent facial features and improves the appearance of the cheeks, as well as their hydration.
