Cheek filler is an aesthetic procedure performed to restore volume to cheeks that have diminished over time, define facial contours, and achieve a more youthful appearance. Making the cheekbones look fuller and more lifted helps the face appear more proportionate with an aesthetically pleasing expression.
Hyaluronic acid–based fillers are commonly preferred for cheek augmentation. Longer-lasting cross-linked fillers and fat grafting using the patient’s own fat can also be considered. The filler type is chosen according to skin structure, expectations, and the physician’s recommendation.
Anyone with cheek volume loss, those who want more defined facial contours, or those seeking more lifted cheekbones—and whose general health is suitable—may have this procedure. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and active skin infections are not suitable times for treatment.
It is used to reduce sagging, correct hollowness in the cheeks, balance facial contours, and provide a youthful look. It also contributes to overall facial symmetry.
Before treatment, the area is cleansed with antiseptic solution. When needed, topical anesthetic creams are applied for comfort. Then, using fine needles or a cannula, the filler is injected into the cheek area. The entire procedure takes about 15–30 minutes.
Depending on the filler used, results generally last around 12–18 months. Metabolism, skin structure, and lifestyle can affect longevity.
When the effect starts to diminish—typically after 12–18 months—the treatment can be repeated. With regular maintenance, longevity may increase.
For the first 24 hours, avoid lying face down and refrain from hot showers, Turkish bath/sauna. Do not rub the treated area and wait at least 6 hours before applying makeup.
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur after the procedure; these are temporary. Rarely, allergic reactions or uneven filler distribution can occur.
Yes. Temporary redness, swelling, and bruising may occur and usually resolve within a few days. They do not cause permanent harm.
The procedure takes about 20–30 minutes. When the effect diminishes, it’s generally recommended to repeat it once a year.
Volume loss, hollowness, sagging, and asymmetry are commonly encountered issues.
Most of the time, a single session is sufficient; a second touch-up may rarely be needed.
With the right technique and dosing, cheek filler looks very natural. Overdone results do not occur when the procedure is performed correctly.
Thanks to the use of anesthetic creams, patients feel minimal discomfort during the procedure.
No—cheek filler is not permanent. It typically lasts 12–18 months.
Avoid blood-thinning medications beforehand. If there is an active skin infection, postpone the procedure.
It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those allergic to filler substances, or people with active infections.
Most people can return to daily life immediately. Mild redness and swelling generally do not affect social activities.
Hyaluronic acid–based fillers can be dissolved with the enzyme hyaluronidase when necessary.

With proper technique, cheek filler can create a subtle lifting effect in the midface.
