Fillers in Cheeks to Lift Jowls
One of the most frustrating signs of aging is the development of jowls, or sagging skin along the jawline. This drooping effect is largely due to a natural decline in collagen, elastin, and facial fat, causing lost skin elasticity and firmness.
In Raleigh, skilled injector Dr. Vincent Nacouzi offers a highly effective, non-surgical solution to address jowls at their source – cheek filler treatments that restore volume and lift for a more youthful, contoured appearance.
Why Jowls Form
Your skin relies on two essential proteins called collagen and elastin to provide structure, strength, and flexibility. As production of these proteins declines with age, your skin loses its ability to bounce back and remain firm. In addition, fat pads and soft tissue descend due to gravity, creating hollowness in the midface and heaviness along the jawline.
Jowls form primarily due to these structural changes. Effectively addressing the issue requires restoring that lost foundation.
How Do Cheek Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers formulated with hyaluronic acid are an excellent way to replace lost volume in your cheeks for a natural-looking lift that reshapes without making you look overfilled or puffy. By strategically injecting these gel-based products into the midface region, Dr. V can:
Rebuild your facial scaffolding for enhanced structure
Restore fullness to counteract sagging
Provide a subtle lifting effect that reduces the appearance of jowls
Stimulate collagen production over time for longer-term skin firming
Enhance Your Results With Non-Surgical Jawline Contouring
Those seeking more refined definition can consider pairing cheek fillers with minimally invasive jawline contouring to further minimize the appearance of jowling.
Jawline contouring with fillers is highly customizable, depending on your aesthetic goals and gender identity.
For men, jawline filler can enhance a strong, chiseled appearance, creating a more masculine profile.
For women, the treatment can provide soft, elegant definition, improving facial harmony without adding bulk.
Whether you’re looking for subtle refinement or dramatic definition, Dr. V takes a personalized approach to every treatment for results that align with your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.
What to Expect From Cheek Filler Treatment
Dr. V personally performs all injectable treatments using precise, personalized techniques based on your anatomy and goals. After assessing your facial structure and degree of volume loss, he’ll carefully inject hyaluronic acid-based filler into target areas of your cheeks. This procedure takes less than 30 minutes and provides immediately visible results with continued improvement over the following weeks.
There is little to no downtime, and you can resume your usual activities right away. Mild swelling or bruising is possible, but temporary.
Long-Lasting, Natural Results With Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation in Raleigh
The results of cheek filler treatments typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the product used and your unique metabolism. You can maintain your results with periodic touch-ups and by following a healthy skincare routine.
Because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible, it safely restores volume with minimal risk of allergic reaction, while retaining moisture and improving skin texture over time. Many patients say their complexions look smoother, firmer, and more radiant after a series of filler treatments.
Cheek fillers may be the ideal solution if you have sagging skin or a softening jawline but aren’t ready for a surgical facelift. Dr. V can subtly reshape your lower face and reduce the appearance of jowls – with no incisions, stitches, or downtime.
