Cheekbones

Enhancement of the cheeks and cheekbone areas increases the volume of the midface and gives an appearance associated with a younger age.

Hyaluronic acid filler for midface augmentation is effective when used in men and women and may be an anti-aging treatment option for young and older patients.

The adverse effects of hyaluronic acid filler treatment in the malar region are generally mild and self-limiting.

Hyaluronic acid is an attractive option for midface volume correction due to high patient satisfaction, long-lasting effects, and limited side effects.
