Cheekbone Contouring

Non-Surgical Cheekbone Contouring in Toronto

Plump, rounded cheeks are a universal sign of youthful beauty. However, not everybody is born with full cheeks, and with the passage of time, cheeks can lose their youthful volume. If you would like to achieve cheekbones that look higher and cheeks that look fuller and better defined, non-surgical cheekbone contouring using dermal fillers at the practice of Dr. Lawrence Tong in Toronto may be an ideal solution for you.

Cheek Contouring with Dermal Fillers

Using injectable dermal fillers, Dr. Tong is able to perform non-surgical cheekbone contouring that looks natural.

With age, the skin of the face begins to lose elasticity and the fat that sits under the face begins to diminish. This can contribute to a loss of cheek volume and a more droopy appearance to the cheeks. Injectable dermal fillers can not only enhance natural collagen production for a more youthful appearance to the skin, but they can also be used to sculpt the cheekbones to achieve a more defined, youthful look.¹

Dermal Fillers Used in Cheekbone Contouring

For cheekbone contouring, Dr. Tong usually uses hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers attract water molecules, so they help to plump the treated area by absorbing water like a sponge. These fillers also stimulate natural collagen production, helping to further increase volume. The effects of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers generally last from six to twelve months.

Who is a Candidate for Cheekbone Contouring?

If you are looking to improve the contours of your cheekbones, non-surgical cheekbone contouring with dermal fillers may be a great solution for you. Candidates for this procedure are in good overall health, and both male and female patients can benefit from cheekbone contouring.

The Cheekbone Contouring Procedure

Non-surgical cheekbone contouring is an outpatient procedure that is performed in Dr. Tong’s office and takes about 30 minutes. Dr. Tong will first discuss your aesthetic goals and make recommendations based on your needs. The procedure begins by cleansing the treatment area to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria on the skin’s surface. The dermal fillers usually contain a local anesthetic to minimize any discomfort associated with the injection. Additionally, a topical anesthetic cream can also be applied prior to the procedure to ensure your comfort. Dr. Tong will then strategically inject the dermal filler of choice, sculpting the cheekbones to ensure that your aesthetic goals are met.

Recovery After Cheekbone Contouring

There is no downtime needed after cheekbone contouring with dermal fillers. It is recommended that you do not exercise until the next day following the procedure. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, and bruising which can be eased with the application of an ice pack.
