Cheek Filler Facial Rejuvenation Secrets

When a person is younger, the face is relatively full and contoured. As a person gets older, the aging process causes a loss of volume in the cheeks which can make a person look gaunt and older. The appearance of high cheekbones is an important part of maintaining a youthful appearance. As people lose volume in the face, the cheeks begin to flatten and sag and this results in the creation of droopy skin on the cheeks and the formation of jowls and nasolabial folds (AKA the lines that run from the nostrils to the corner of the mouth).  Cheek fillers add volume back to the cheeks and give the face a fuller look thanks to cheek filler facial rejuvenation.

When it comes to the use of cheek fillers, some patients are not sure how the process works. Cosmetic Town TV recently took a closer look at cheek fillers to give our readers the information they want to know about cheek filler facial rejuvenation secrets:

The Secrets behind Cheek Filler Facial Rejuvenation

Cheek fillers are dermal fillers that are injected under the skin in the area targeted for increased volume. Once the filler has been injected, the skin is plumped from beneath the area where the injection was performed. The result is facial rejuvenation thanks to the increased volume and fewer wrinkles as well as a greater augmentation that is visible in the treated area.

Cheek filler is a non-surgical treatment that can be performed in the office of a doctor. The cheek filler can be injected above the cheekbones to help patients gain a more defined and chiseled look. On the other hand, injecting the cheek filler into the soft tissue of the cheeks allows for the area to be lifted which reduces the sunken or aged look of cheeks. In addition, adding volume using cheek fillers improves the amount of laxity in the lower face which also helps to eliminate the flattened or sunken look and provide facial rejuvenation.
