Hello,
I am Park Jeong-geun,
Director of Faceplus Plastic Surgery Clinic.
If you look in the mirror and feel more tired than before,
or that your impression has sharpened,
the cause is often, surprisingly, a reduction in cheek volume.
This area refers to the space extending from below the cheekbones to above the mouth,
and plays a role in making the central part of the face appear softer.
As you age or experience rapid weight loss,
the fat layer thins, creating shadows,
which can make the nasolabial folds appear deeper.
This is why people consider cheek fillers.
The goal is not simply to fill the cheeks to make them round,
but to restore the sunken areas so that light reflects naturally.
This change alone can make your impression look much more stable.
What are the realistic effects of cheek filler?
Cheek filler has the advantage of providing immediate volume enhancement.
As the sunken areas are alleviated, the center of the face appears filled,
and the prominence of the cheekbones may appear less emphasized.
However, it is not a solution for all wrinkles or sagging.
If skin elasticity is significantly reduced, it is difficult to expect a big change with filler alone.
The key to petit procedures is to achieve balance without overdoing it.
Injecting more does not necessarily make you look younger.
On the contrary, excessive volume can make the face look swollen or create an unnatural impression.
Therefore, injecting small amounts in multiple layers leads to stable results.
Criteria for creating a youthful image with petit plastic surgery
Petit plastic surgery is an approach to adjust one's impression relatively simply without incision.
By supplementing cheek volume, shadows under the eyes are reduced, and the face can appear softer.
The important thing in creating a youthful image is overall balance.
If the connection with the cheekbones, nasolabial folds, and jawline is not considered,
only specific areas may appear prominent.
While fillers can be done alone, it is often more natural to plan them in conjunction with other areas.
Especially since the necessary volume location varies depending on the face shape,
not only the frontal but also the side silhouette must be considered.
Side effects and essential information to know
The front cheek is an area with a relatively rich blood vessel distribution, so accurate anatomical understanding is important.
Side effects may include temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness.
Most of these subside within a few days, but careful injection is needed to prevent unevenness or asymmetry.
Also, the duration of the effect may vary depending on the individual's skin thickness and fat layer condition.
It is important to have a thorough evaluation of the current degree of volume loss and skin condition during the consultation phase.
Although fillers may seem simple, they are a significant factor in changing one's facial impression.
If you aim for a youthful appearance, it is safest to reduce your ambition and design within a natural range.
Thank you for reading.
