While it might not be as sexy or get as much attention as lip filler or fat reduction, many patients would love to enhance their cheekbone definition. High and defined cheekbones are always in style since they can make one’s face appear more slender and youthful.
You may, like many others, think the only way to achieve this sculpted look is through invasive plastic surgery. But, luckily, you’d be wrong! In fact, we have multiple non-surgical options to achieve this highly coveted look.
Why We Want Gorgeous Cheekbones
Cheekbones are not something that always stands out as an obvious feature immediately. However, the cheeks frame your entire face, contributing to overall balance and enhancing other features. Higher, more pronounced cheekbones are associated with youth, giving you a more lifted appearance. Defined cheekbones also contrast the area below, resulting in a slimmer-looking face.
Non-Surgical Cheekbone Enhancement
Let’s take a look at three effective treatments that can help you achieve defined cheekbones without surgery. These options are minimally invasive, allowing for noticeable improvements with minimal recovery time. Each treatment offers a distinct approach to enhancing facial contours and achieving jaw-dropping cheekbones.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a straightforward option for those looking to enhance their cheekbones quickly and easily. These injectables, typically based on hyaluronic acid, add volume beneath the skin’s surface to lift and define the cheek area. The treatment is customizable, meaning you can make your transformation as subtle or noticeable as you want.
Fillers are administered via a quick, 30-minute procedure using a fine needle. The effects are immediately visible, although minor swelling and bruising can occur but usually subside quickly. Depending on the specific type of filler product used, results can last from 6 to 18 months.
Thread Lift
Thread lifts offer another innovative non-surgical solution for enhancing cheek definition. This procedure involves placing dissolvable threads under the skin to lift and sculpt the facial contours. Made from biodegradable polymers, threads are introduced into the skin through tiny incisions and then strategically positioned to pull and lift the cheek tissue. As the threads dissolve over time, they stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain the lifted appearance even after the threads have been absorbed.
The thread lift process typically takes only about 45 to 60 minutes. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. While some results are visible immediately, the full effects become more apparent as collagen production kicks in over the following months. This procedure not only elevates the cheekbones but also improves skin texture and firmness. The aesthetic improvements from a thread lift can last from 1 to 3 years, varying from person to person.
Facial Skin Tightening
For those seeking a less invasive option, facial skin tightening technologies like Ultherapy provide a means to enhance cheekbone definition by tightening the skin. This ultrasound therapy targets deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin, tightening the skin and naturally “lifting” the cheekbones.
Sessions for skin tightening can range from 30 to 90 minutes, are typically pain-free, and require no downtime. While the initial tightening effects can be noticed immediately, optimal results appear gradually as new collagen forms, lasting up to a year or more with appropriate care.
