Cheek Filler
in NYC | Miami | Brooklyn | NJ

At Get Plump, we provide cutting-edge cheek filler treatment to provide our patients with youthful, lifted and defined facial contours. As volume is lost in the midface over time, the face can take on a less defined appearance. However, with the development of dermal filler injections, it is now simpler than ever to regain one’s natural fullness and enhance facial balance.

Our providers, under the direction of our co-founder Dr. Alexander L. Blinski (“Dr. B”), are highly experienced in aesthetic medicine. We are all about accentuating patients’ natural beauty with professional care, providing immediate, long-lasting results.

What Are Cheek Fillers?

Cheek fillers are non-surgical cosmetic injectables that seek to restore volume, enhance facial contours, improve facial wrinkles, and attain a more youthful appearance. The dermal fillers, most commonly hyaluronic acid (HA) or other biocompatible substances, are injected into the midface area to lift and contour the cheeks as well as enhance facial harmony overall.

As we age, natural collagen and fat loss can cause the cheeks to appear sunken or hollow, leading to a tired or aged look. Cheek filler treatment replenishes lost cheek volume with instant results and minimal downtime. The majority of patients undergo this treatment to enhance facial structure or reverse the aging process without surgery. Facial dermal fillers do not permanently alter facial structure as the body gradually breaks down the filler over time. Results can, however, persist for 6 to 24 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

Types of Dermal Fillers
for Cheek Fillers

Every filler varies in material, longevity, and suitability for particular aesthetic goals. Our experienced experts select the most appropriate filler based on skin type, volume loss, and desired result:

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most suitable choice for cheek augmentation due to their natural affinity for the skin. HA is a hygroscopic substance found naturally in the body. So, these dermal fillers are reversible and safe.

  • Best for: Adding subtle volume, contouring cheekbones, and increasing skin hydration.
  • Popular brands: Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, RHA Collection.
  • Longevity: 6–24 months, depending on formulation and metabolism.

CaHA fillers consist of calcium microspheres suspended in a gel. These stimulate collagen production and give immediate and long-lasting volume enhancement. The filler naturally degrades slowly while leaving the skin tighter.

  • Best for: Restoring significant volume loss, improving skin elasticity, and achieving longer-lasting results.
  • Popular brands: Radiesse.
  • Longevity: 12–18 months.
PLLA fillers stimulate new collagen production gradually and do not add immediate volume. PLLA fillers generate a natural, subtle lift over the course of several months. So, they are suitable for patients who desire a gradual, long-term augmentation.
  • Best for: Filling deep volume loss and improving skin texture over time.
  • Popular brands: Sculptra.
  • Longevity: Up to 2 years, with multiple sessions being recommended for optimal results.

Cheek Filler Treatment
Explained

Initial Consultation and Assessment

At Get Plump, every cheek filler treatment begins with a thorough consultation. One of our providers or Dr. B examines the patient’s facial structure, skin quality, and beauty concerns. Then, we choose the most suitable dermal filler type based on volume loss and desired definition of the cheek area. Besides, we discuss the expected outcome and longevity of the treatment. Our providers also review any medical history that may impact the treatment, such as allergies or skin conditions.

Following a detailed facial analysis, we will devise an individualized plan to improve facial symmetry and bring back youthful fullness. In order to reduce bruising, we recommend that patients avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and too much sun prior to treatment.

The Cheek Filler Injections
  • Preparation and Numbing: First, our providers clean the patient’s skin and apply a topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort. Most of them also contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic added for comfort.
  • Accurate Injections: Using a fine needle or cannula, Dr. B or our provider performs the dermal filler injections into specific areas of the cheeks. The cheek filler injections enhance contours, restore volume, and lift sagging skin while maintaining a natural look. Injections are administered symmetrically for balanced results.
  • Shaping and Adjustment: Finally, once the filler is injected, our provider massages the injection area softly to allow even distribution. Treatment takes 20–30 minutes, with minimal swelling or bruising.

Add-On Procedure: Botox in the Masseter

Most patients prefer combining cheek fillers with masseter Botox injections to enhance the definition of their face. Bruxism, stress, or habitual clenching can lead to hypertrophy at the level of the masseter muscle. It, in turn, results in a broad lateral aspect of the lower third of the face, or what is known as the square jawline. This procedure is very useful for patients who desire an oval or V-shaped face. It also eases or eliminates jaw tension, headaches, and other orofacial pains that are connected to TMJ disorders. While dermal fillers add plumpness and lift, masseter Botox enhances the curves of the mandible, giving off a chiseled appearance. The combined treatment typically requires minimal downtime, with results becoming noticeable within a few weeks and lasting three to six months.

Recovery After Cheek Fillers

Immediate Recovery

Since the cheek filler procedure is a non-surgical treatment, there is no downtime, and most patients can immediately return to their routine activities. Some swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is not unusual but typically the mild swelling disappears in a few hours to a few days. Swelling and pain can be relieved by gentle icing of the area.

For the initial 24 to 48 hours, it is necessary to avoid touching or massaging the area treated unless instructed by our provider. We advise preventing excessive facial movements so that the filler placement is not disrupted. Patients are also told to avoid sleeping on their cheeks. Our specialists advise sleeping on their backs with their heads elevated.

Alcohol and strenuous exercise should be avoided during this time, as they will cause increased swelling. Some patients may develop mild firmness or tenderness in the treated area. But this will gradually improve as the filler becomes settled in the skin.

The final outcome is more noticeable in one to two weeks, as the filler fully integrates into the skin. Cheek enhancement, based on the filler type used, may last from six months to two years. Regular touch-up sessions allow a defined, youthful appearance to be maintained.

Candidates for Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers are ideal for patients who wish to define facial contours, restore volume, or achieve a more youthful appearance without surgery. Ideal candidates should be in good health and have reasonable expectations of what the treatment can achieve:

Benefits of Cheek Fillers

Restored Volume

Cheek fillers replenish volume loss from aging, weight loss, or genetics. They give the midface a plumper, more youthful look, with skin that appears refreshed and rejuvenated.

Defined Facial Contours

Strategically placed fillers enhance cheekbones, define facial features, and contour, giving a naturally defined look. The procedure can restore facial proportions and overall symmetry.

Non-Surgical Lift

By adding volume to the midface, cheek fillers provide a subtle lift. This reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds (smile lines) and mild jowling, with a refreshed facial appearance attained without surgery.

Increased Confidence

Enhancing cheek structure can significantly increase self-esteem and confidence. Patients also appear and feel younger and more energetic. This can extend into their professional and social lives.

Long-Lasting Results

Depending on the filler used, results can be anticipated to persist from six months to two years. With regular maintenance, patients can experience continued, long-term facial rejuvenation.
