Technique for filling cheekbones with fillers
The doctor marks on the face where the nerve endings and fat packets are located.
These areas must not be touched. The area that will be filled with gel is also outlined. A cannula is used to introduce hyaluronic filler into the cheekbone area. The drug is injected in each direction in turn. After this, the doctor manually gives the cheekbones the desired shape, slightly kneading and distributing the gel. After the procedure, the master always immediately shows the client the result. He explains that the first day there is slight swelling, as intercellular fluid flows to the injured tissues. Therefore, at first the cheekbones seem somewhat more voluminous than they actually are. The result can be assessed in a few days.
If you don’t like the result, then within 30 days you can inject hyaluronidase, which neutralizes hyaluronic acid and promotes its removal. The effect of contour plastic surgery wears off.

Papules almost always appear after biorevitalization. If they are red and itchy, this may indicate an allergy. How long they last is affected by the composition of the cocktails, age and even the time of year. When do they pass normally? How to remove if they haven’t resolved?
Mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid gives good results for restoring facial skin, smoothing or eliminating defects. It can be non-injection, fractional, or with injections. Cocktails with acid can also contain vitamin C and peptides. The doctor chooses the medications. There is an alternative to mesotherapy.
Mesotherapy around the eyes requires high professionalism, because the treatment area here is very sensitive. What medications are used for wrinkles, bruises and other problems in the area?
Lip mesotherapy is performed to increase volume and even out the contour. There are fractional ones with tints for enlargement, non-injection ones with hyaluronic acid, and also with a toning effect. The before and after result changes your appearance dramatically.
Cosmetologists believe that peeling before biorevitalization is not only possible, but also necessary. After all, the result of the procedure will be better. However, there are rules and restrictions on the days that must pass between them. How much and what kind of peeling should you do?

Post-procedure care
Since the use of fillers is considered a relatively safe procedure, after which there are practically no negative consequences, care is not difficult. The cosmetologist's recommendations include:
- You should not touch the injection sites for 5-7 hours to avoid infection and dislodge the filler.
- The first day you are prohibited from using cosmetics.
- You are only allowed to sleep on your back.
- Cheekbones should not be massaged or kneaded.
- For a couple of weeks, you should avoid sports and thermal treatments (baths, saunas, hot tubs, solariums).
- The doctor prescribes drugs to relieve pain and resolve bruises, such as Traumeel S, Lyoton and Troxevasin. They need to be applied carefully, without pressing on the skin.
According to patient reviews, the cheekbone area may itch, tug, or hurt a little for the first couple of days. But soon everything passes, and the “implant” ceases to remind itself.
Possible complications after raising and enlarging the cheekbones
If the injection technology is violated or due to an individual reaction, the following complications may occur:
- hematomas due to damage to capillaries;
- swelling;
- loss of sensation in the injection area due to improper placement of filler;
- the appearance of pigment spots.
In case of the following complications, you should immediately consult a doctor:
- Soft tissue necrosis. The filler can compress capillaries and nerve endings, the skin tone becomes darker, and a hematoma forms. To remove the complication, urgent surgical intervention is needed.
- Tissue fibrosis. Lumps and bumps form under the skin. After their removal, scars may remain.
- Violation of skin relief. If the drug is too viscous or liquid, it may begin to “migrate” to neighboring areas.

Introduction Features
There is nothing special about the manipulation; it is performed according to a strictly developed algorithm. Cosmetologist:
- Use a pen/marker to mark the locations of adipose tissue and nerve “bundles” on the cheekbones – injections here are strictly prohibited;
- then applies a gel with an anesthetic effect to the cheekbones - the patient begins to feel numbness in the treated parts;
- Then he performs the actual injections with fillers - first on one side of the face, then on the other.
Additionally, the doctor shapes the cheekbones with his fingers - kneads, tightens the places where hyaluronic acid or collagen was injected. Then he wipes his face with a special lotion, removing any remaining anesthetic gel.

Frequently asked questions from clients
During the first consultation, patients have many questions. Clients often ask whether it is possible to correct the asymmetry of the cheekbones using fillers and inject the drug only in one direction . Experts confirm that, if necessary, injections into only one cheek are possible.
Also, many clients ask whether it is possible to have a massage six months after cheekbone contouring. Cosmetologists warn that manipulation of this area can lead to premature resorption of the filler or its displacement. Therefore, before the procedure, it is necessary to warn the specialist about the presence of filler. You cannot massage the cheekbone area.
Another common question: is it possible to carry out a correction to increase volume? Additional injection of filler into the cheekbones is allowed at any time. But it is important to get the most natural result possible.
Carrying out contouring with fillers allows you to eliminate a wide range of cosmetic imperfections without surgery. After the procedure, there is less risk of encountering complications and side effects. And the result is noticeable immediately. In addition, it can be adjusted without harm to the skin and health.

Indications for use
Cosmetologists recommend signing up for manipulation after 35. By this age, signs of aging are already appearing, the skin is sagging, and oval correction will be more noticeable. But if you want to get pronounced bones above your jaw at 20, they won’t interfere with you.
Indications for injection of fillers into the cheekbones are:
- the desire of the patient, if the person is already 18;
- rounded face, insufficiently pronounced cheek bone;
- asymmetry in this part due to injuries and birth defects;
- head disproportionate due to lack of volume in the zygomatic area;
- impaired elasticity of the dermis, muscle dysfunction and ptosis caused by these reasons;
- deep nasolacrimal groove.
Keep in mind that in addition to age restrictions, there are contraindications for the injection of fillers into the face. Do not neglect the recommendations of a cosmetologist and do not hide the presence of related problems. Omissions can aggravate facial asymmetry and ruin the patient’s appearance.
Cheek fillers - what is it?
Correction of cheekbones with fillers is an innovative technique that allows you to increase their volume and eliminate existing deficiencies without the use of a surgical scalpel. General information about fillers can be found in our following articles: Fillers (dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers), Hyaluronic acid fillers.
We will consider the use of fillers in the cheekbone area. We will find out who is suitable for the procedure and what medications are best to use to avoid side effects. We will also clearly demonstrate the results of the procedure, take into account the risks and a list of contraindications.
Fillers in the cheekbones - what do they give?
Before agreeing to use this method, it is necessary to find out what problems it can cope with.
What can be corrected in the cheekbones with fillers?
• Elimination of irregular facial contours;
• Creases in the area of the nasolacrimal groove. According to cosmetologists, the use of fillers in this case is the most optimal method. The close proximity of the ocular mucosa does not allow the use of surgical plastic surgery and mesothreads;
• Sunken cheeks. The drug fills the voids; if the base contains collagen, a natural frame is created. The effect is noticeable within 12-18 months;
• Sunken, invisible cheekbones. Many celebrities resort to this method to make their faces look more expressive on TV screens.
In addition to the main tasks that were described above, modeling the cheekbones with fillers will have the following effect:
• Smoothes out wrinkles near the lacrimal canal, in the area of the lower eyelids;
• Evens out skin color, removes age spots;
• Prevents the appearance of deep wrinkles;
• Relieves ptosis.
As you can see, fillers can not only visually enlarge the cheekbones, but also perform many related tasks.
Help with swelling after cheekbone fillers
To ensure that swelling quickly disappears, even if this is a natural reaction and is not a pathological process, cold compresses can be applied to the face immediately after the injection of fillers into the cheekbones. The best option would be ice, but it needs to be placed in a towel and applied to the injection sites every 2 hours for 10 - 15 minutes.
It is not worth changing the recommended frequency of applying compresses, because this can lead to hypothermia of the skin and distort the results of “beauty injections”.
Among medications, cosmetologists recommend using Troxevasin gel, which, after 30 minutes of application, is absorbed into the deep layers of the dermis and has anti-edema, vasoconstrictor and anti-inflammatory effects.
Apply the gel twice a day in a thin layer, rub it in gently and effortlessly until completely absorbed. Troxevasin belongs to the category of hyperallergenic drugs that can provoke the appearance of urticaria, eczema, and in especially severe cases, Quincke's edema.
Distribution of filler after injection
As for methods of getting rid of swelling after injection of fillers into the cheekbones for independent use, the following will be especially effective:
- light massage of the treated area of the face - performed with fingertips, no force is applied, rubbing and pinching are prohibited;
- the use of compresses from a decoction of chamomile flowers - prepared according to the standard recipe (1 tablespoon of plant material per 200 ml of water, boil in a water bath for 5 minutes);
- quitting smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.
If within 3 days the intensity of swelling does not decrease, signs of general deterioration in health appear, and lumps form under the skin at the injection sites, then this is a reason to seek qualified medical help.

Benefits of cheekbone contouring
Many girls, before using the method of introducing fillers into the cheekbone area, want to know what the features and advantages of this procedure are:
1. Rehabilitation lasts from 2 to 7 days. As a rule, redness and swelling disappear within the first day. It all depends on the experience of the specialist who will perform the procedure;
2. The effect of general skin rejuvenation and cheekbone enlargement will be noticeable immediately after the injection of filler. The maximum result is achieved after a month. This is evidenced by photos before and after the procedure;
3. There is no age limit. A similar procedure can be performed by girls over 18 years of age. But experts still recommend that women over 35 take a closer look at it. In this case, the result will be “visible”;
4. Most fillers completely break down after a certain time;
5. The drugs are hypoallergenic;
6. After the procedure, the cheekbones look natural, lively facial expressions are preserved;
7. The risk of side effects is minimized;
8. Cost of the procedure. The average price is 15,000-18,000 rubles. Typically, if the problem is not running, one session will suffice;
9. Long-lasting effect (up to 18 months).
As you can see, it is no coincidence that fillers occupy a leading position and are popular among women.
Possible complications
Even at the stage of consultation with a cosmetologist, the patient should be warned about possible complications after the injection of fillers into the cheekbones. Early manifestations in the form of hematomas and swelling do not pose any danger - literally in 2 - 3 days the appearance will be restored, in a maximum of 5 days.
But there are a number of late complications that will require additional medical intervention:
- inflammation in tissues;
- facial asymmetry;
- problems with blood circulation in the treated areas due to blockage of blood vessels;
- necrosis of subcutaneous tissue at the sites of filler injection;
- herpetic lesions.
Necrosis of subcutaneous tissue at the sites of filler injection
If the patient has used cosmetologists or professionals in a specialized clinic, then the likelihood of such consequences is negligible. The fact is that they are all associated with violations during the procedure.
For example, blockage of blood vessels will not occur if the doctor knows exactly how to insert the cannula (and does not poke around in search of a good place), and asymmetry is excluded by accurately calculating the injection sites for the drug.
What drugs are used to correct cheekbones with fillers?
Until recently, cheekbone augmentation with fillers was carried out using paraffin or silicone. But due to the high percentage of side effects, the drugs were abandoned. Many patients experienced papules and gel displacement. New means have taken their place. Biologically degradable preparations basically contain hyaluronic acid. After 12 months, it completely breaks down, turning into water and carbon dioxide.
Artificial fillers are somewhat cheaper, but their effect is shorter lasting. A significant disadvantage is the inability to split. Therefore, if side effects occur, the drug will have to be removed surgically.
The most modern products are biosynthetic in nature. The main components of cheekbone fillers are collagen or hyaluron.
Many people ask the question: “Which filler is best for cheekbones?” Below we will consider the most popular drugs recommended by leading cosmetologists.
Surgiderm
. The drug was created by French specialists and has all the necessary certificates. It has been used in cosmetology for a long time and has a minimum of side effects. The basis of the product is hyaluronic acid.
The effect of injecting fillers into the cheekbones:
1. Skin water balance improves;
2. The existing voids are filled;
3. Collagen begins to be actively produced.
Manufacturers offer a wide range of drugs, taking into account the age characteristics of girls. The product has a rather viscous structure, thanks to which the cosmetologist can model the patient’s cheekbones without any problems. The product dissolves after 12-16 months. Correction is usually needed after 2 years.
Sculptra
. It is based on synthetic lactic acid. It is completely eliminated from the body only after 2.5-3 years. The gel has an excellent lifting effect and enlarges the cheekbones. At the same time, facial expressions remain natural.
The advantages of the product are as follows:
• Allergic reactions are very rare;
• The result is lasting (up to 3 years);
• The drug is completely safe.
The downside is that to achieve the desired effect you need to take several courses. A break of at least 6 weeks.
Radiesse
. Its main effect is aimed at normalizing collagen production. The drug is intended for women over 35 years of age. The advantage is that the injected product does not migrate, and there is no risk of papules and bumps.
The effect is noticeable for about 12 months. After this, you need to make a correction and go through the procedure again.
To ensure that there are no side effects after enlarging the cheekbones with fillers, the drug should be chosen by a cosmetologist, taking into account the following factors: age, depth of the problem, anatomical features of the girl.
Consequences and possible side effects of injection of fillers into the cheekbones
Each organism is individual. The master cannot give guarantees that side effects will not occur. Therefore, when agreeing to perform the procedure, you need to know the consequences that you may encounter:
• Hematomas. They occur on sensitive skin due to the rupture of small capillaries with a needle. Pass within 3 days;
• Swelling. An absolutely normal reaction of the body to a foreign agent. Swelling after injection of filler into the cheekbones subsides within a day. To speed up the process, cosmetologists suggest using special ointments. If there is no result, you can apply cold compresses;
• Weak skin sensitivity. It may occur due to compression of nerve endings by fillers. Often it’s all about the unskilled work of the cosmetologist (the drug is injected too deeply or at the wrong angle);
• Pigmentation. Individual characteristics of the body. Active production of melanin may begin at the injection sites of fillers. Within a month, your skin color will be restored.
Complications may also arise that require immediate consultation with a specialist. Among them:
• Soft tissue necrosis. The gel strongly compresses the blood vessels, the skin darkens, and a bruise forms. Surgery is required;
• The gel appears under the skin. The phenomenon is unpleasant and can be removed cosmetically. The main reason is incorrectly introduced filler;
• Fibrosis. Tissue compaction occurs and bumps appear. Even after the drug is completely removed from the body, scars will remain. They can be removed using a laser;
• Skin texture changes. The phenomenon is quite rare. Appears when paraffin or dense gel is injected. Experts note that migration of the drug may occur.
To avoid such side effects after injection of fillers into your cheekbones, be careful when choosing a clinic and cosmetologist.
The specialist must have a medical education and work with high-quality, certified drugs. The experience and professionalism of the master is no less important. Before you trust in his hands, study the reviews and look at photos of patients who have undergone a similar procedure.
Stages of the procedure
A visit to a specialist begins with a conversation.
The doctor asks the patient about possible allergic reactions, previously administered medications, contraindications and talks about the risk of side effects. If there are no obstacles to the procedure, the person is placed on a couch, the face is cleaned and the affected area is treated with an anesthetic. Typically, Emla is used in the manipulation; the wait for its effect lasts approximately 20 minutes.
While waiting, the doctor divides the patient's face into zones. Mark the fat packet and bundles of nerves with a pencil so as not to accidentally touch it. Outlines the area that will play the role of a protruding bone in the future.
Once the anesthetic has taken effect, the selected drug is injected under the skin using a cannula. Unlike a regular needle, it has a rounded “nose” and does not tear tissue or blood vessels. Bruising with such a cannula is practically impossible.
It takes 10-15 minutes to treat both cheeks. With Emla, no pain is felt, but there is often psychological discomfort due to the needle entering the skin of the face. After introducing fillers into the cheekbones, the area is massaged, forming the correct oval, and the patient is allowed to evaluate the result.
At the end of the session, it remains to describe the further development of events and be sure to warn the person that the swelling will go away in the coming days, the “bone” will not be so pronounced. The cosmetologist gives recommendations for care and warns about the need to keep the drug passport. The document will indicate the name, date, injection site and volume. Information will be needed in case of side effects or repeated beauty injections.
List of contraindications for cheekbone correction with fillers
Correction of cheekbones with fillers is not always acceptable. Contraindications may be as follows:
1. Pregnancy and lactation;
2. Allergic reaction to the drug;
3. Oncology;
4. Increased sugar;
5. Exacerbation of any chronic disease;
6. Open wounds on the face.
In this case, be sure to consult a specialist. After all, the administration of the drug can worsen the health condition.
Cheekbone plastic surgery with fillers is a popular procedure. And this is not surprising. After all, immediately after the injections, an effect is noticeable, which only intensifies over time. The advantage is that in addition to correcting the area of the cheeks and cheekbones, other changes in the skin are noticeable: fine wrinkles disappear, deep wrinkles become less noticeable, and complexion is evened out. In order not to encounter side effects, it is necessary to approach the choice of a cosmetologist and an injection drug with all responsibility. Don't go after cheap prices. Remember, your beauty and health are most valuable.

What is facial modeling? Lena Korenkova decided to find out everything from personal experience - and went to the Klazko clinic for new cheekbones. I'm not a fan of facial tuning. But I like high cheekbones. By themselves, they appear on my face only “on holidays” - after two or three fasting days on the water. I was wondering, what if I try fillers? And how do you even live with them?
Of course, there were many doubts. After all, the face is not the hair. What to do if you don't like it? And I'm afraid of needles and syringes? And I remember this classic: “They don’t seek good from good”?..
But at some point I realized: if you really want it, then they look for it.
Theory and beginning of practice
First, of course, I studied everything and found out. Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane, Surgiderm and their analogues are injectable preparations based on stabilized hyaluronic acid, which are used to correct skin texture (wrinkles, folds), increase the volume of lips, cheekbones, cheeks, and treat lipodystrophy. They differ from each other in composition, elasticity, viscosity and durability, and different types of fillers solve different problems. The latest generations of fillers are soft, plastic, durable, non-flowing and do not shine through the skin, that is, they do not give it a blue tint even when injected superficially.
Juviderm Voluma is suitable for cheekbones - it is denser and is injected a little deeper than, say, with biorevitalization. The result lasts for about a year, then the filler dissolves and is completely eliminated from the body.
With such a wealth of knowledge, I went to the Klazko clinic to see Dr. Elena Vladimirovna Levchuk.
You know how it happens - you look at a person and immediately trust him? This turned out to be just that case.
Elena and I discussed all my allergic reactions that I could remember. (And I could remember a lot:) She explained to me that the injected drugs are hypoallergenic, but in rare cases they can cause reactions in the form of itching or rash. Those who once “didn’t make friends” with protein products are at risk. It is better for them not to inject more than two milliliters of filler at a time.
Elena also asked what injections I had done before. She answered the honest truth - never and not at all. (Elena Vladimirovna’s eyes smiled joyfully. This is how the hairdresser looks at hair that has never been dyed
