Injection of hyaluronic acid in the cheekbones: plump sunken cheeks

Sunken cheekbones can be part of the constitutional morphology of a face (“ I have a flat face” is indeed a common reason for consultation in aesthetic medicine).

With age, the melting of subcutaneous fat will cause a gradual sagging of the cheekbones and the appearance of nasolabial folds . The process of skin aging alters the quantity and quality of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen produced, and thus contributes to hollow cheeks and nasolabial folds. The bottom of the face is weighed down, jowls settle.

All these manifestations give the face a sad and tired look. Injections of hyaluronic acid target high cheekbones and a shapely face.

In addition, the restoration of the volume of the cheekbones also acts on the lower face by firming the jowls and reducing the nasolabial folds and the valley of tears. Facial rejuvenation is visible.

As before any injection of hyaluronic acid, a first consultation is organized beforehand. We speak with you and an examination of your face allows us to determine your needs.

The search for possible contraindications to treatment with hyaluronic acid is carried out: known allergy to the product, pregnancy and/or breastfeeding, systemic disease, etc.

The hyaluronic acid injected into the cheeks is thick. We use the Juvederm® range from Allergan laboratories, the world leader in medical aesthetics.

The treatment of the cheekbones can of course be associated with that of the nasolabial folds and the folds of bitterness . For complete treatment of the lower third of the face, it is possible to inject hyaluronic acid into the lips in order to reduce perioral wrinkles or to restore the volume of the mouth.

In addition, our dermatologists are trained in the MD Codes technique , a tailor-made protocol which makes it possible to treat the signs of skin aging in a comprehensive manner.

The injection of botulinum toxin can also be considered to correct crow’s feet and frown lines.

Your cheekbones are rounded, full, prominent, your expressions radiate energy and vitality. This gesture makes it possible to relax the eyes in a noticeable way.

Wrinkles located on the cheeks are reduced, the quality of the skin is improved thanks to the highly moisturizing properties of hyaluronic acid.

The effects of an injection of hyaluronic acid in the cheekbones lasts between 6 to 18 months. For lasting results, it is recommended to perform maintenance injections .

Before treatment with hyaluronic acid , medication such as aspirin, anti-inflammatories or anticoagulants should be avoided. An active skin infection must be treated upstream.

It is important to stop the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and sun exposure a few hours before the treatment.

The injection of hyaluronic acid into the cheekbones is a gentle, non-invasive act. Very well tolerated in the majority of cases, compliance with the precautions communicated by your dermatologist ensures the smooth running of the treatment.

Following the injections, it will be possible to resume your activities directly, no social eviction is necessary. Redness or bruising may appear but disappear quickly.

For a volumizing treatment of the cheekbones, the cost of a syringe of hyaluronic acid is 450 euros.

If you decide to perform several injections, the price will depend on the number of syringes needed and a personalized quote will always be given to you before the start of the treatment.
