Cheekbone enhancement is a cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to add volume and contour to the cheeks, creating a more defined and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Dermal fillers are injected into specific areas of the cheeks. These fillers are typically composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. The fillers add volume and lift to the cheeks, enhancing the prominence of the cheekbones.

Generally, good candidates for cheekbone enhancement are individuals who desire more defined cheekbones, a more balanced facial profile, or a youthful appearance. It’s important to have realistic expectations and be in generally good health.

Prior to the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort. Dermal fillers are then skillfully injected into strategic points on the cheeks. The procedure usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

Recovery after cheekbone enhancement is typically minimal. Some swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites, but these symptoms usually subside within a few days. Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Results are usually visible immediately after the procedure. However, it’s common to experience some initial swelling, so the final results become more apparent as the swelling subsides over the first few days.

The longevity of results varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle. Typically, results from cheekbone enhancement can last anywhere from 9 to 18 months. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

The cost of cheekbone enhancement varies based on factors like the clinic’s geographic location, the practitioner’s expertise, the type of filler used, and the amount required. In Canada, the cost of cheekbone enhancement can range from approximately $400 to $1,500 per syringe.

Cheekbone enhancement is considered a generally safe procedure when performed by a trained and experienced medical professional. However, with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, including:

• Infection

• Bruising

• Allergic reactions

• Asymmetrical results
