Getting Cheeky: Why Full Cheeks Make You Look Younger

By Ysabel Vitangcol on April 9, 2019

As you get older, one of the telltale signs of aging is sagging skin, especially in the face. Because of the loss of the hyaluronic acid (HA) component in your cheeks, the face tends to hollow out. This makes you look older and more tired.

Bringing back your youthful, fuller face starts with taking care of your skin!

How do dermal fillers solve ‘cheeky’ concerns?

Getting Dermal fillers in the cheek area is the easy. A very thin needle is used to inject very tiny amounts of dermal fillers into the cheek area. Don’t worry, we’ve got topical anesthesia available.

“The most popular dermal fillers that we use is hyaluronic acid. This is a natural component of our body,” Dr. March Babaran, Medical Operations Head of Belo Medical Group. “In the past, we used to inject fillers [that are] silicone-based or foil. But now, there are different types of hyaluronic acid depending on the needs. For example, the type of hyaluronic acid we use for lip injections is softer. This is in comparison to the type of hyaluronic acid that we would use for the temple or cheeks.”

After a consultation with a Belo doctor, he or she will advise as to which type of Dermal Filler will best suit your cheeks. The treatment only takes 30 minutes, and you will see the results right away.

What can you expect after the treatment?

Dermal fillers are long lasting, around 8 to 12 months. These are not permanent. Patients may need to set their expectations that results differ from what can be seen from a surgical procedure. It’s a great alternative for patients who are not yet ready to undergo an invasive operation! This tweakment offers subtle yet significant changes that will make others guess what you did to your face.
