What is Cheekbone Plumping?

Cheekbone plumping is a cosmetic enhancement procedure aimed at improving the fullness and definition of the cheeks. It creates a youthful, contoured appearance by enhancing volume, often addressing age-related volume loss or naturally flat cheekbones.

Methods for Cheekbone Plumping

  1. Dermal Fillers (Non-Surgical)

    • How it Works: Injectable fillers (e.g., hyaluronic acid like Juvederm or Restylane, or calcium hydroxylapatite like Radiesse) add volume to the cheeks.
    • Procedure: Quick, typically 30–60 minutes.
    • Results: Instant, lasting 6–18 months depending on the filler type.
    • Recovery: Minimal downtime, with possible temporary swelling or bruising.

  2. Fat Grafting (Surgical)

    • How it Works: Fat is harvested from another part of your body (e.g., abdomen or thighs) and injected into the cheeks.
    • Procedure: Performed under local or general anesthesia.
    • Results: Long-lasting but may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
    • Recovery: Moderate downtime; swelling may last a few weeks.

  3. Cheek Implants (Surgical)

    • How it Works: Solid implants (silicone or porous polyethylene) are placed over the cheekbones.
    • Procedure: Performed under general anesthesia.
    • Results: Permanent unless surgically removed.
    • Recovery: Swelling and discomfort for 1–2 weeks.

  4. Non-Invasive Skin Tightening

    • How it Works: Techniques like radiofrequency (RF) or ultrasound (e.g., Ultherapy) stimulate collagen to lift and tighten the cheek area.
    • Results: Gradual improvement over months.
    • Recovery: No downtime.

Benefits

  • Enhances facial symmetry and contour
  • Restores volume for a youthful appearance
  • Minimally invasive options available
  • Results are adjustable with dermal fillers

Risks and Considerations

While generally safe, cheekbone plumping may involve:

  • Swelling or bruising
  • Asymmetry or uneven results
  • Infection (rare, usually with surgical methods)
  • Allergic reactions (rare with fillers)

Choosing the Right Option

  • Non-surgical methods (fillers) are ideal for temporary enhancement and minimal downtime.
  • Fat grafting is suitable for those seeking natural, longer-lasting results.
  • Cheek implants are best for those desiring a permanent solution.
