Cheek Fillers San Diego

One of the most popular treatments for our patients at Kolstad Facial Plastic Surgery in San Diego is Voluma cheek enhancement. Dr. Kolstad applies injectable fillers to three different areas of the midface to create a unique cheek appearance. Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse, and Sculptra can all be used to restore full, youthful-appearing cheeks. The volume required, the area of the face, and the skin’s thinness will determine which injectable filler is best for cheek augmentation. Depending on what look you are trying to achieve, you may be a better candidate for central cheek, lateral cheek, or infracheek enhancement.

What Are Cheek Fillers?

Cheek fillers are injectables that can improve volume, balance, and proportion in the midface, restoring a more youthful, attractive appearance. As a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Kolstad provides elegant, sculpted outcomes that help you look years younger and enjoy a more positive self-image. He approaches cheek augmentation with fillers in the following manner:

Central Cheek Filler

Many patients are happy with their cheek bone structure and prefer to add volume to the central cheek. This restores the apple in the cheek and creates a youthful, round cheek mound. Adding volume to the central cheek can also improve under eye hollowing or eye bags.

Good filler options for central cheek augmentation:

Allergan products:  Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure.

Galderma products:  Restylane, Restylane Lift, Restylane Refine, Restylane Define, Restylane Silk, Sculptra.

Merz aethetics products:  Radiesse.

Dr. Kolstad does not use the following products for central cheek augmentation:  None, all products work well for central cheek augmentation.

Central Cheek Augmentation

Lateral Cheek Fillers

A second type of cheek augmentation is adding volume to the soft tissue above the cheek bone. This type of cheek augmentation is similar to cheek implants and is designed to create a sculpted look, most noticeable on oblique view.  People that have flat cheek bones or midface hypoplasia are good candidates for this type of cheek augmentation.  The highpoint of the cheek should be above the zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) and creates a heart-shaped cheek of youth.

Good filler options for lateral cheek augmentation:

Allergan products:  Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure.

Galderma products:  Restylane, Restylane Lift, Restylane Refine, Restylane Define, Restylane Silk.

Dr. Kolstad does not use the following products for lateral cheek augmentation: Sculptra and Radiesse.

Fillers For Cheek Definition

Fillers For Zygomatic Hollows

http://cheek-filler-san-diego-461

As we age we lose volume and fat underneath the zygomatic (cheek) bone.  This can create a hollowed and gaunt appearance.  Sometimes a sculpted cheek appearance can look overdone if there is too much hollowing under the cheek bone.  To address lower cheek hollowing volume is added to the soft tissue above and under the zygomatic bone.  By adding roundness to a hollowed area the cheeks appear fuller and more youthful.

Good filler options for infracheek cheek augmentation:

Allergan products:  Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Vollure.

Galderma products:  Restylane, Restylane Lift, Restylane Refine, Restylane Define, Restylane Silk, Sculptra.

Dr. Kolstad does not use the following products for infracheek augmentation:  Radiesse.
