As we age, volume loss in the cheeks and jawline can lead to sagging skin and less defined facial contours. Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution to restore volume, lift, and definition. With so many options, including those only available at select locations, Krauss Dermatology provides effective treatments tailored to your needs.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gels injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. All fillers utilized at Krauss Dermatology are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin. These fillers are safe, effective, and versatile. They can be used in various areas, including the cheeks, chin area, jawline, lips, lip lines, to rejuvenate and sculpt the face.
What Fillers are Best to Lift the Cheeks and Jawline?
At Krauss Dermatology, Juvederm®, Restylane®, and the RHA® Collection of fillers are popular choices for lifting and contouring the cheeks and jawline. Each filler offers unique benefits:
Juvederm® Voluma: Specifically designed to add volume to the midface, Juvederm Voluma provides a subtle lift to the cheeks and smoothing and defining of the jawline, while improving overall facial balance. It’s a great choice for creating a more youthful appearance with the greatest longevity of the hyaluronic acid fillers. Voluma is a slightly higher priced product than other fillers.
Restylane® Lyft: This filler is ideal for enhancing cheek definition and providing structural support to the jawline. Its firmer consistency makes it highly effective for lifting and contouring, particularly in male patients.
RHA® Collection: Known for its flexibility and natural-looking results, the RHA family of fillers adapts to facial movements, making it an excellent option for both dynamic and static areas of the face. RHA4 is ideal for cheeks and jawline and also offers the advantage of 20% more filler per syringe.
Filler procedures at our practice are only performed by our board certified dermatologists. The best filler for you depends on your unique anatomy, aesthetic goals, treatment area and quality of your skin. During your consultation at Krauss Dermatology, we will create a personalized treatment plan to achieve your optimal results. Our physicians are expert at utilizing both cannulas and needles for the safest and most effective filler treatments.
Is There Any Downtime After Getting Fillers?
One of the key advantages of dermal fillers is the minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Following post-treatment care instructions can help ensure a smooth recovery. Bruises can be treated the same or next day with our Vbeam laser for quick resolution.
How Long Do Dermal Filler Results Last?
The longevity of dermal filler results varies depending on the product used and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Generally:
- Juvederm® Voluma can last up to 18 months or longer in the cheeks.
- Restylane® Lyft results often last 12 to 15 months.
- The RHA® family of fillers provides results lasting up to 15 months.
Regular maintenance treatments can help you enjoy long-lasting improvements.
Am I a Candidate for Cheek or Jawline Fillers?
If you want to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, or achieve a more youthful appearance, you may be a good candidate for cheek or jawline fillers. Ideal candidates are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for their results. We avoid injecting fillers in patients within 2 weeks of dental cleaning or dental procedures, or vaccinations to avoid inflammatory reactions or infection. A consultation at Krauss Dermatology will help determine the most effective treatment plan based on your unique needs.
