Cheek Contouring

What is Cheek Contouring?

Cheek contouring is a type of cheek augmentation treatment that involves placing the right dermal fillers in the cheek area to create a healthy-looking, youthful appearance. Women spend hours cheek contouring using makeup brushes, while men try to create high cheekbones by shaping facial hair. That is no longer needed with the help of the dermal fillers we offer at Derm and Rejuvenation Institute with Dr. Kormelli.

Cheek Fillers / Dermal Fillers

You don’t have to go under the knife to achieve the contoured and defined cheeks you’re looking for. With cheek fillers, you can add volume to your hollow or sunken cheeks and create a natural lift. While it’s not a permanent solution, it does allow you turn back the clock, restore lost volume, and refresh your overall facial appearance.

Cheek Lift with Fillers

We also offer a non-surgical cheek lift with fillers at the Derm and Rejuvenation Institute. With the expertise of Dr. Kormelli and our team, we can use dermal fillers to lift sagging cheeks, address jowls, and uplift the lower half of the face. These fillers can also reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and enhance the symmetry of your face.

Customized, Individualized Treatment Plans

No matter what your goals are with your cheeks, you can trust that we will customize your treatment to meet your unique needs. Depending on your bone structure, skin type, and features, we will tailor the dermal fillers we use to your aesthetic needs. You can trust that you will never look fake or overfilled.

Who is a Good Candidate for Cheek Contouring?

Almost all patients struggling with hollow or sagging cheeks are good candidates for cheek contouring at our office in Santa Monica. We also recommend you be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, a nonsmoker, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, discuss your goals, and answer your questions to determine if this is the right treatment for you.

What to Expect During the Procedure

The cheek contouring procedure is relatively straightforward. To start, we’ll cleanse the treatment area and, if necessary, apply a topical anesthetic for your comfort. From there, we will inject the appropriate filler into specific areas of the cheeks. How many injections you need and where they are placed will depend on the results you’re looking for. Treatment should only take about 30 minutes.

Recovery and Aftercare

After your injections, you can return to your normal routine immediately. You may have some swelling and bruising, but those side effects will subside within a day or two. During this time, you will want to avoid touching or putting pressure on the injection site. You’ll also want to abstain from strenuous activities, alcohol, and excess sun exposure for 24-48 hours.

Depending on the dermal filler used, you may see results for up to two years. After that, you will need repeated treatments to maintain your results.

Risks and Potential Complications

As with any treatment, there are some side effects with cheek contouring that you’ll want to look out for. The most common side effects include bruising, swelling, tenderness, and redness at the injection site. Other risks include infection, allergic reaction, and lumpiness. By following Dr. Kormelli’s aftercare instructions, you can ensure you receive the best results and reduce the risk of complications.
