Cheek contouring is a non-surgical treatment that’s designed to lift the cheekbones using dermal fillers. This technique is preferred because it’s non-invasive and still achieves cheek volume.
If you’re interested in learning more about this non-surgical facelift, and how it can help maintain a youthful appearance, here are five things you need to know about cheek contouring and how Dr. Simon Ourian can help you.
1. Dermal Fillers
Cheek contouring is achieved by using dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are soft-tissue injections that are non-invasive to help restore skin to its youthful appearance. There are many different types of fillers such as hydraulic acid, collagen, calcium hydroxyapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid.
All of these fillers are composed of different materials designed to treat a variety of cosmetic issues. Dermal fillers mainly combat wrinkles, fine lines, and saggy skin.
Dr. Ourian uses Neustem fillers. Watch here to see the treatment in action.
2. Long Lasting
Cosmetic dermatology – like cheek contouring – using dermal fillers may last a long time, though it just depends on the type of injection you get, your skin condition, and how your body handles the filler.
Generally speaking, fillers are largely semi-permanent, meaning they will last for an average of 1-2 years. During that time you may need to see your cosmetic surgeon for touch-ups to help maintain the appearance. You can get another filler when the previous filler is gone.
3. Achieve Volume
As you age, your skin loses collagen. This collagen keeps the skin’s elasticity, so as you age, your skin begins to sag as well. There are dermal fillers used for cheek contouring that work to stimulate the body’s production of collagen.
Cheek contouring with dermal fillers puts that collagen back into your skin so you can achieve skin that’s tighter, more plump, youthful, and more contoured to your face. You can forgo using makeup for contouring because the fillers take care of it for you!
4. Recovery Time
Cheek contouring is perfect for people with busy schedules. Due to the non-invasive nature of dermal fillers, there’s no anesthesia, and you can typically return to your daily activities right out of the provider’s chair.
Also, fillers are very low-risk, meaning there are very few problems associated with them. There may be some initial bruising or swelling, but this should subside after a week or so. You will need to follow your doctor’s post-surgery instructions, however, to ensure that your fillers are maintained well.
5. Choose an Experienced Doctor
A good option would be an experienced cosmetic dermatology doctor like Dr. Simon Ourian in Epione Beverly Hills. Specialists like himself understand the complexities of fillers and can walk you through the process, ensuring that you get the best result that you’re looking for.
