Four Effective Ways To Plump Up Your Cheeks

Flat or poorly defined cheeks are common and they can occur at any age or stage of life. Cheekbones that lack projection or are too flat make the face look out of balance. While for some people, they are born that way, for others it is an effect of the aging process. If you have noticed that your facial features have become less firm and defined with age, the good news is that you can reverse this trend.

As people age, the fat pads tend to droop or slide down causing a lack of face definition. Fat and collagen loss can leave the face looking old and the cheeks hollow. When this happens, the cheeks can be corrected using cheek augmentation to maintain the natural and full look that is characteristic of youth. There are several treatments that can restore the contours and fullness of youth.

Using fillers

To get long-lasting facial volume, semi-permanent fillers come in handy. The fillers add fullness and they also helps to boost collagen production. There are different types of fillers available and they include Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse. Sculptra Aesthetic is popular for the cheeks but it requires multiple treatments and you need to be patient before you see the desired results. Fillers are great when you want to see what your cheeks can look like when fuller.

Adding fat

For a more permanent look, you should consider fat injections. Adding fat to the cheeks will not only last longer, it also results in a more natural look. The fat helps to redefine the facial contours for a more youthful look. It may take several treatments or sessions to get optimal results but when you finally get there, the results are more permanent. Many patients choose this option over fillers because of the more long lasting results.

Cheek implants

For a permanent cheek lifting result, silicone implants are the answer. The cheek implants are great for people who want to add substantial volume and long lasting contours. If all you need is a slight lift or increase, this may not be the best option for you. The implants add definition and permanent fullness, which helps to create the lifting effect. Using cheek implants is often determined by the level of deficiency. Patients who have completely flat cheeks find that they benefit most from this procedure.

Facelift

For a dramatic difference and the removal of excess skin, a facelift is the best option. A facelift procedure helps to get rid of sagging and corrects the lack of volume. It does this by tightening the facial muscles and it also gets rid of fatty deposits that cause the face to look “loose”. The surgical procedure causes the underlying tissue to return to a more youthful position and it also gets rid of excess skin.
