FAQ

What does cheek filler treat?

It restores lost volume, lifts the face, and improves definition in the cheek area.

Is it suitable for all face shapes?

Yes – when personalized to your anatomy, it enhances facial balance across all shapes.

How long does it last?

Cheek filler typically lasts 12 to 18 months depending on metabolism and the hyaluronic acid filler used.

Will I look overdone?

No – when done properly, the effect is subtle, natural, and youthful without an artificial look.

Is cheekbone filler painful?

A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. The procedure takes approximately 30 minutes.

Is there any downtime after cheek filler?

Some swelling and mild bruising in the days following treatment is normal. This resolves within 5–7 days. Social downtime is minimal for most patients.

Can cheekbone filler be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Cheek filler is frequently combined with nasolabial fold treatment, under-eye filler, or jawline filler as part of a facial harmonisation plan. Combining areas requires full assessment before treatment.

What is the difference between cheek filler and a surgical facelift?

A facelift surgically repositions skin and tissue, with weeks of recovery. Cheek filler restores volume and provides moderate lift through a 30-minute non-surgical appointment. Results are not equivalent in scale, but the risk profile and recovery time are fundamentally different.

What is cheekbone filler

Cheekbone filler is an aesthetic medicine treatment that uses a high-cohesivity hyaluronic acid dermal filler 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, filler 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.

Why Cosmo Clinic

Cheekbone projection requires three-dimensional vision and a thorough knowledge of the facial fat compartments. Our medical team in Lisbon plans each lift using anatomical reference lines, to achieve a result that looks natural and lasts. Consultations are available in Portuguese and English.
