One unexpected side effect of the aging process is the loss of facial volume in the cheeks and mid-face region. As we age, gravity pulls the fat from our cheeks and mid-face down into our lower face, producing sagging jowls and results in flattening the cheeks and mid-face. This can leave you looking expressionless, as well as tired and aged. This effect may also happen as a consequence of rapid, dramatic weight fluctuations or certain medical conditions.

Cheek filler treatments such as Juvederm Voluma or Restylane may be just what you need to revive a sunken mid-face region and fill out hollow or flattened cheekbones, restoring a more firm and contoured appearance to the face. During your free initial consultation, Dr. Bachilo will recommend the best filler treatment to enhance your mid-face region according to your skin type, as well as your aesthetic goals.

Procedure

How Are Cheek Fillers Administered?

Before the procedure, Dr. Bachilo will apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area to prepare the skin so that you won’t feel any discomfort during the treatments. Next, Dr. Bachilo will help you determine the ideal combination of injections for you based on your skin type, condition, and aesthetic goals. In most cases. Dr. Bachilo will use a strategic combination of various dermal fillers to add volume, firmness, and definition to the mid-face region to sculpt natural-looking cheekbones and a smoother, more contoured facial appearance.

Although patients typically do not describe the procedure as painful, minor symptoms such as temporary swelling, redness, and soreness may persist at the treatment site for several hours immediately following the treatment. Therefore, we recommend applying ice packs to the area and taking Tylenol to alleviate any residual discomfort after the topical anesthesia wears off. In addition, it is important that you avoid rubbing the skin or wearing makeup for several days and avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and air pollution.

Candidates

Am I A Good Candidate For Cheek Filler?

You may be a good candidate for cheek filler injections if you are a healthy adult and have lost significant volume in your mid-face region and the area around your cheeks as a result of the aging process or due to substantial weight loss.

Results

What Can Cheek Fillers Achieve?

Cheek fillers can add volume, fullness, and definition to the mid-face region, rejuvenating the entire face. Fillers such as Voluma by Juvederm may be used to sculpt natural-looking cheekbones, adding depth and expression to the face, while also firming and smoothing the skin thanks to adding volume. Cheek fillers also stimulate natural collagen production, improving the tone and texture of the skin and making the skin feel plumper and firmer.

Overall, cheek fillers are used to achieve the following improvements in facial contour:

Enhance the cheekbones to make them look more pronounced.
Smooth out lines around the nose and mouth, such as parenthesis lines.
Restore volume and definition to cheeks that have become flat or sunken.
Restore symmetry to the cheeks.

Depending on which type of dermal filler is used, the results of your cheek filler treatment may last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before you’ll need a follow-up treatment.

Amazing experience overall

Suzanne Balderas

I had an amazing experience overall...from my first consultation to completed services. I've had fillers, botox, microdneedling with radio frequency and PRP, and most recently the Y-Lift and NovaThreads thread lift. I was stunned by the immediate results!! The moment I walked in, I was welcomed by Nallely, who is just so sweet! Briana, the patient care coordinator, was so patient and knowledgeable in answering all my questions and working with me. After meeting with Dr. Bachilo (she is just amazing!!), I felt so comfortable with her and the aesthetician, Eva, through several in office procedures...follow-ups...everyone overall is AMAZING!! Thank you Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa for restoring youth and confidence in me! - Google

Dramatic improvement

R Nomned

I really love this practice, Dr. Bachilo and her esthetician Eva Rotmann are very personable. Feels more like visiting with a friend in the way they provide care. Easy location right off 610 and free covered parking and I've never had to wait more than a few minutes. When they offer a cappuccino during your visit, accept as it is stellar. With just one syringe of filler placed in multiple strategic spots, Dr. Bachilo made a dramatic improvement which reduced jowling and even minimized neck sag. I also had botulinum at the same time, with absolutely no bruising from either. Trust me, you want a PS to perform these injections, they have a greater understanding of the underlying structures and can therefore provide better results. I've also purchased an Emsculpt package and had a Venus Viva facial treatment. The prices are very competitive and the service exceptional. Look no further for your cosmetic needs! - Google

Great doctor

Houston, TX

Last month I went in to see Dr. Bachilo to get Dysport injections for my wrinkles and fillers in my cheeks and chin. I was very worried as it was my first time having this procedure done, I didn't know what to expect but Dr. Bachilo was very patient with me she took her time explaining and answering all my questions she made me feel very comfortable.

Wow! I am so pleased with Dr.Bachilo’s expertise!

Susu Susu

WOW! I AM SO PLEASED WITH DR. BACHILO'S EXPERTISE! I was so thankful for her honesty and knowledge of the products/procedures that I was wanting to have done. She guided me to the correct breast implant size and recovery was a breeze. When it came to my concern about wrinkles and lines she was extremely understanding and actually listened to me. She explained the different fillers and Botox products, which I am so pleased with everything she did to make me look younger!!! I have recommended her to several friends and will continue to do so!! Just go and see how wonderful she is!

Facial Fillers

Houston, TX

I hated wrinkles on my forehead, and nasal labial folds. I had filler injected around nasal labial folds and around corner of my mouth. Botox injection into my forehead. I couldn't be happier with the results. After many comments about why I look so much younger I will definitely have it done again.

Plump Lips Indeed!
