Cheek fillers are a simple, affordable cosmetic procedure that helps smooth and define the cheek and under-eye area. These FDA-approved fillers are safe and effectively reduce or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles in targeted areas. You may see results immediately, though sometimes it takes a few weeks to see the full effects. Read more to see the primary benefits of cheek fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
1. It’s a simple procedure.
Cheek fillers are administered via injection, and it’s a pretty simple procedure. You don’t need anesthesia, and you’re usually done within half an hour—or less. Most people have no difficulties returning to work or their regular activities immediately after the procedure. Discomfort is usually mild, and many patients report no pain at all

2. The results are almost immediate.
You may notice results immediately after the procedure, but be aware that these usually aren’t the full effects. It may take a few weeks to see full results, though some smoothing and fewer wrinkles are noticeable immediately. Many patients love the immediate benefits of fillers because it’s easier to schedule both the procedure and recovery around important events.
3. The results aren’t permanent.
While both Juvederm and Restylane results can last for months or even years, they’re not permanent procedures. If you don’t like the way you look afterwards, rest assured that it’s not forever. You can add more filler or let it slowly fade until you love the look. By contrast, if you do like the results, they usually last a while, so you don’t need to worry about constant upkeep.
4. The risk of complications is very low.
Cheek fillers aren’t an invasive procedure, so the risk of complications is very low. The most common side effects are redness or bruising, but these are minor issues that usually fade quickly. A skilled practitioner can reduce the likelihood of these side effects, too. If you’re worried about complications or possible skin reactions, discuss your concerns with the practitioner in advance.
5. The procedure is relatively inexpensive.
Cheek fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are much less expensive than plastic surgery. Most dermal fillers start around $500-1000, but plastic surgery is usually a minimum of several thousand. If you want cheeks that look supple and defined with minimal wrinkles, cheek fillers are the cheaper option. This is perhaps the most appealing benefit for people on a limited budget. Plastic surgery is a significant financial investment, but dermal fillers give similar results for a more budget-friendly cost.
Final Thoughts
There are many reasons why more and more people are choosing cheek fillers over plastic surgery. The procedure isn’t invasive and offers immediate results. It’s not permanent, though the desired results can last several months to a year. Finally, it’s much more affordable than similar plastic surgery options.
