What are cheek fillers and apple cheek fillers? One area of the face where fillers can be used to restore youthfulness is the cheeks. Slightly fuller cheeks can make your face look more lively, compensating for the loss of skin, collagen, and fat that naturally happens as we age. This helps make your face look younger and softer.
Your skin structure, skull shape, and the amount of facial fat you naturally have can make some people’s cheeks appear flat, making their face look dull and lifeless.
Additionally, unavoidable physical factors like the collapse of facial bones and the decrease in collagen under the skin are significant causes of flat cheeks.
Cheek fillers, also known as apple cheek fillers, involve injecting Hyaluronic Acid (HA) into the flat, non-prominent areas of your cheeks to add volume and lift sagging skin.
Hyaluronic Acid fillers are very natural and safe. High-quality fillers will gradually dissolve over time without leaving any harmful residues, which is why they are approved by health authorities and widely used in cosmetic procedures worldwide to correct various facial issues.
After getting cheek fillers, you will immediately notice fuller and more youthful-looking cheeks. The filler will fully set in about a month and typically lasts for 8-12 months before naturally dissolving, depending on individual lifestyle and body processes.
Before deciding to get cheek fillers, we should research the basic details of the procedure and check the reliability of the clinic we are interested in. Ask for the doctor's credentials, the filler brand used, and if you can check the packaging before the injection.
The most popular filler brand used by the doctors at MEGA CLINIC for cheek fillers is Neuramis from Korea.
MEGA CLINIC directly purchases Neuramis fillers from MEDYCELES (Thailand) Co., Ltd., the sole authorized distributor in Thailand. We allow verification of the filler authenticity before every procedure, with detailed guidance from our staff.
Avoid these foods, drinks, and medications:
These substances can slow down the healing of needle marks, but they do not directly affect the filler.
Q: My cheeks look flat and lack dimension. Should I get cheek fillers or fat grafting? Which one is better?
A: Fat grafting uses your own fat to fix flat cheeks. This means fat is taken from other parts of your body, which requires a fat removal procedure. However, there’s a high chance that the injected fat might not last because your body can absorb it. This may lead to needing multiple procedures, which can be uncomfortable.
On the other hand, cheek fillers made from hyaluronic acid (HA) are much safer. These fillers are similar to the HA naturally found in your skin. They give a clear result, making your face look younger, last a long time, and dissolve on their own without leaving harmful residues or side effects.
Q: Does NEGA CLINIC offer other filler brands for cheeks besides Neuramis?
A: Yes! We offer three brands for cheek fillers: Neuramis, Restylane, and Juvederm.
Q: Does cheek filler injection hurt?
A: Neuramis fillers, which are popular for fixing flat cheeks, already have anesthetic (Lidocaine) mixed in. This helps reduce pain during the injection.
Doctors often use the cannula injection technique for this area. Cannulas are blunt-tipped needles that can navigate under the skin more safely. This technique reduces the risk of piercing blood vessels, minimizes pain during the procedure, and lessens bruising after treatment.
Q: After getting cheek fillers, I feel headaches and tightness in my cheeks. Is this normal?
A: Yes, this is a normal reaction after getting fillers. You can take paracetamol to help ease the pain.
Q: How long does it take for fillers to settle completely?
A: Fillers typically take about 1 month to fully settle into the skin. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily helps the filler integrate smoothly, enhances skin hydration, and supports overall skin health.
