Cheekbone Filler is a medical procedure aimed at defining the facial frame, creating a sharper V-shape, and providing a lifting effect to the lower face by strategically adding volume to the zygomatic (cheekbone) arch.
High, defined cheekbones are a universal sign of beauty. Whether you have naturally flat cheekbones or have lost definition due to aging, this procedure allows us to sculpt the face without surgery. At our clinic, Specialist Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin uses this technique not to just add volume, but to create light, shadow, and lift.
Difference Between Mid-Face vs. Cheekbone Filler
It is important to distinguish between these two common procedures:
● Mid-Face Filler: Targets the front of the cheek (apple). It treats tiredness and hollows.
● Cheekbone Filler: Targets the side/outer edge of the face. It creates contour, shadow, and lift. (We often combine them for a complete Liquid Facelift effect.)
Benefits: The “Top Model” Effect
1. Optical Slimming: By defining the outer cheekbones, the face appears narrower and more triangular (V-Shape), creating a slimming illusion.
2. Lifting Action: The cheekbone acts as a coat hanger for the face. Adding support here pulls up sagging skin from the lower face and jawline.
3. Profile Definition: It creates an elegant curve when viewed from the side.
Natural Results: Avoiding the Overdone Look
Patients often fear looking like Maleficent with unnaturally sharp cheeks. Our Philosophy: We place the filler deep on the bone, following your natural skeletal structure. This avoids the puffy look and ensures the cheeks don’t look wide, but rather high and lifted. The result is sophisticated and sharp, yet entirely natural.
The Process: Quick & Comfortable
1. Sculpting Plan: Dr. Şahin analyzes your facial proportions to determine the ideal projection.
2. Product: We use structural fillers designed to hold their shape and lift tissues effectively.
3. Technique: Using a cannula (blunt needle), the filler is placed along the cheekbone. This method minimizes pain and bruising. The procedure takes 20 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
● Question: How should I sleep after the procedure?
● Answer: It is best to sleep on your back for the first night to avoid putting pressure on the newly placed filler. Avoid sleeping on your side if possible.
● Question: Can I wear glasses afterwards?
● Answer: You should be careful with heavy glasses or sunglasses for the first 3-4 days. Avoid letting them rest heavily on the area where the filler was placed to
prevent displacement.
● Question: Will my face look wider?
● Answer: No. When placed correctly (high and lateral), cheekbone filler actually makes the face look slimmer and more defined, not wider.
● Question: Is it painful?
● Answer: Discomfort is minimal. Dr. Şahin’s expertise as an Anesthesiologist ensures the most comfortable experience possible, typically using numbing agents
and gentle techniques.
● Question: How long does it last?
● Answer: Structural fillers placed on the bone tend to last longer, typically 12 to 18 months.
● Question: What is the price?
● Answer: Pricing depends on the desired level of definition (subtle lift vs. high-glam contour) and the amount of filler required. Please contact us for a personalized quote.
