Cosmetic procedures, from lip injections to Brazilian butts, are today the most profitable industry in the world, while women of various age groups certainly invest convincingly in themselves for a beautiful and well-groomed appearance. But, a well-known plastic surgeon in New York, Dr. Lara Devgan thinks that many women want and consider what is known as cheek injections. "In the world of plastic surgeons, cheekbones are thought to represent 70% of facial beauty, and the reason for this is that they give a really nice architecture to your face," she says.

As with all other types of treatment, injections in your cheekbones require you to go to a specialist in the field and certified for these interventions.

The results depend on the type of filler

When properly injected, the filler first contours your cheekbones to eliminate that typical statuesque look. Do not choose a doctor who prefers harsh compounds, but those who apply high-viscosity fillers that also include hyaluronic acid. This creates such a structure of the cheeks that they do not look like something artificial and added, that is, like an implant in the face, but like something soft and natural.

How much do page fillers cost?

It all depends on the doctor you contact and how many sessions he estimates to achieve the desired peak of your cheekbones. Generally, the final bill can be anywhere from one thousand to four thousand dollars.

Is there another alternative besides fillers?

The only other known procedure to enhance and shape your cheeks is an implant. It's permanent, it's a very specific (and time-consuming) operation, so doctors tell us they're out of fashion.

Good news: the procedure doesn't take long

Before the injection, patients count about five minutes, while the procedure lasts no more than 10 minutes. The first few days you may have a little swelling, but it is completely normal because the swelling goes away after the first two days after the injection.

How often do I need cheekbone injections?

Doctors agree on one point: the longevity of cheekbone fillers depends a lot on the person receiving the procedure, as hyaluronic acid dissolves slowly. Individual metabolic rate often determines how long you will have beautiful cheeks. In general, you can expect cheek fillers to last between one and two years before they disappear completely. For anyone hesitant to return to the natural look, Dr. Shridharani recommends a "booster" filler. Patients can book an appointment after nine or ten months to maintain the same level of structure, without performing more injections than the first.
