Implants are the ideal solution for men and women looking for long-term results with minimal downtime. Medical-grade facial implants provide more volume and 3D structure than fillers can, making them the perfect choice for those who have deeply sunken cheeks. The results of a facial implant last forever, while filler results usually last six months to two years. Modern cheekbone implants look very natural and patients have several options for size, style and shape.
This is the biggest difference between getting dermal fillers and implants. You'll need one-time surgery with implants, such as jawline and cheek implants. However, dermal fillers would require more than one treatment session. Most patients receiving dermal fillers require 2 to 5 sessions.
Some fillers last longer than others, and you may need 1 to 2 treatments each year if you put on lip fillers. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers and cheek implants are highly sought after procedures. Juvederm Voluma XC is designed specifically for the cheek area and offers the most long-lasting results when it comes to dermal fillers. However, both treatments have their own limitations and advantages and are recommended for different reasons. Cheek implants will permanently improve the underlying medial facial structure. However, they are usually made of silicone and must be surgically inserted.
Cheek implants tend to alter facial appearance and contours, improving facial balance by developing a high cheekbone appearance in patients who are not satisfied with their existing facial aesthetics. In contrast, Juvederm Voluma XC offers temporary results. It helps to correct the effects of facial aging, but it cannot affect facial structure. Dermal fillers tend to improve loss of facial fullness. The procedure requires a quick injection. You should understand that facial implants tend to be more expensive than dermal fillers, since implants require surgery for placement.
However, they offer long-lasting results. You should talk to your plastic surgeon to understand the costs involved. Your surgeon will help you make the right choice based on your individual needs. As for a cheekbone augmentation procedure, I usually make a small incision inside the mouth to get the right size and shape of the implant. When deciding between undergoing cosmetic cheek augmentation surgery or dermal filler injection treatment, there are several things to consider. Cheekbone augmentation with an implant creates a natural projection of the cheekbone that many people find very attractive.
