Cheekbones

Hyaluronic acid treatment on the cheekbones is a dermal filler technique used to restore lost volume, enhance facial structure and provide a more youthful appearance.

This procedure is very popular due to its ability to offer natural and long-lasting results with minimal risk and without the need for surgery.

What technique is used?

It is performed using specific injection techniques to guarantee safe and effective results:

First, Dr. Marc Illa will assess the patient’s facial structure, discuss his or her expectations, and design a personalized treatment plan.

The most suitable type of hyaluronic acid will be selected, considering factors such as the density and cohesiveness of the gel.

Brands such as Juvéderm Voluma, Restylane Lyft and Teosyal Ultra Deep are commonly used for cheek fillers.

What is the procedimiento?

Preparation

The area to be treated will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any makeup residue, oil or dirt and to prevent infection. Although hyaluronic acid usually contains lidocaine to minimize pain, a numbing cream or ice may be applied for the patient's comfort.

Injection

There are different injection techniques that can be used, we will study each case and apply one or more combined techniques:< wpml_linebreak> Bolus technique: Deep injections at specific points to add volume and structure.

Fan or retro-tracing technique: Hyaluronic acid is injected while the needle is withdrawn, distributing the product evenly.

Use of cannula: Instead of a needle, a cannula (a thin, flexible tube) is used to reduce the risk of bruising and provide a smoother distribution of the product.

Duration

The procedure usually lasts between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the amount of product and the areas to be treated.

Molding

After injections, your doctor may gently massage the area to ensure even distribution of the product and prevent lumps.

Post-treatment

Aftercare instructions will be provided, such as avoiding sun exposure, not engaging in strenuous physical activity, and not massaging the treated area for the first few days. It is normal to experience some swelling, redness, and possible bruising, which usually disappears within a few days.

Advantages of treatment

Non-invasive

The procedure is minimally invasive and does not require surgery.

Minimum recovery time

Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Personalized results

The treatment is tailored to the individual needs and desires of the patient, achieving personalized results.

Collagen stimulation

In addition to providing immediate volume, hyaluronic acid can stimulate the production of natural collagen in the skin, improving its quality in the long term.

Expected results

The goal of hyaluronic acid treatment on the cheekbones is to achieve a subtle and natural improvement that enhances the facial structure without giving an artificial appearance.

Results are usually visible immediately after treatment, although initial swelling may make the treated area appear larger than expected.

As the swelling subsides (usually within a few days), the cheekbones take on a more natural, balanced appearance.

Results can last between 9 and 18 months, depending on the type of hyaluronic acid used, the patient’s metabolism and the treated area. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled to prolong the effects.

Is it possible to combine aesthetic medicine with facial surgery?

Great results can be achieved with small details such as those provided by aesthetic medicine. The key is to apply them in the right quantities and locations, and this can only be achieved if a correct initial diagnosis is made.

We will always carry out a comprehensive assessment of facial aesthetics, and you can choose from three paths:

Cases that can be treated only with aesthetic medicine.

Cases that, due to the aesthetic objectives of the patient, only require surgery for

Most cases: surgery is performed to treat some aspects of the face and aesthetic medicine techniques are applied to treat other aspects.

With cosmetic surgery we can

Repositioning tissues that have fallen

Recover tissues that have atrophied over the years.

With aesthetic medicine we can

Correct small asymmetries with a high degree of detail that we cannot achieve with surgery.

Correct dynamic wrinkles with botulinum toxin.

Increase skin brightness with hydration and nutrition thanks to hyaluronic acid.

The effect of applying both surgical and aesthetic medicine techniques at the level of facial aesthetics is not additive, it is multiplicative!
