How much filler is needed for cheeks?

Cheekbone filler typically requires 1 to 2 syringes per side (2–4 ml total) depending on the degree of volume loss and the desired lift. The doctor assesses facial anatomy at your free consultation to determine the most natural and harmonious result for your bone structure.

How long does cheek filler last?

Cheek filler lasts between 12 to 18 months. The midface is a low-movement area, so hyaluronic acid is metabolised more slowly here than in high-movement zones. Some products used in this area can last up to 24 months in select patients.

Does cheek filler look natural?

With correct technique and appropriate volume, cheek filler produces completely natural results. At Cosmo Clinic, the focus is on restoring facial harmony and lifting the midface without creating an artificial or overdone appearance. The doctor evaluates your facial proportions carefully before any treatment.

What is cheekbone filler

Cheekbone filler is an aesthetic medicine treatment that uses high-cohesivity hyaluronic acid to restore or define projection across the zygomatic region. It is one of the most globally rejuvenating procedures available, lifting the mid-face indirectly softens the nasolabial fold, reduces under-eye shadowing, and relaxes marionette lines. In Lisbon, it is widely regarded as the non-surgical lift of choice.

Who is it for

Adults experiencing age-related mid-facial volume loss (typically from 35 to 40 onwards), those with naturally low cheekbone projection, or anyone seeking structural facial definition. Also indicated in younger patients with an elongated face or those pursuing overall facial harmonisation. Assessment takes into account facial proportions, skin type, and individual aesthetic goals.

What to expect from the session

Sessions run 40 to 60 minutes. After topical anaesthesia, hyaluronic acid is placed deep on the zygomatic bone and within the deep fat compartments, using a combination of needle (bolus) and cannula techniques. Typical volumes range from 1 ml to 2 ml per side, calibrated to anatomy and following Hinderer's lines for natural projection.

Results timeline

The lifting and rejuvenating effect is visible immediately. Mild swelling and sensitivity to touch may occur in the first 48 hours. Final results settle after 14 days, once the product integrates fully into the tissue. Duration averages 15 to 24 months, with annual maintenance recommended.

Aftercare

Avoid make-up on the treated area for 12 hours, and hold off on exercise, saunas, alcohol, and sun exposure for 48 hours. Avoid sleeping on your side and refrain from massaging or pressing the area for two weeks. Topical arnica can help accelerate the reabsorption of any small bruises. Daily SPF 50 is essential for two weeks.
