Cheek filler

Full, high cheekbones frame the eyes and give the face a youthful lift. Hyaluronic-acid cheek filler is a quick, in-office treatment that restores volume in minutes and keeps working for up to two years. Below, you’ll find everything you need to decide whether cheek filler at Calista Aesthetics is right for you.

Cheek filler candidate

You’re a good match if you:

  • Notice flattened cheeks or deeper smile lines

  • Want definition without surgery or implants

  • Are in good overall health and not pregnant or nursing

  • Understand that results are temporary and touch-ups keep them fresh

If you have active skin infections, uncontrolled autoimmune conditions, or a known allergy to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid, we’ll steer you toward safer options.

Before and after cheek filler

Results show immediately, subtle at first, with full effect in about two weeks as swelling settles. Expect cheeks that:

  • Sit higher and look smoother

  • Soften nasolabial folds

  • Enhance overall facial balance

At your consultation we’ll share before-and-after photos that match your goals. Ready to compare? Book a consultation and see our gallery in person.

Does cheek filler migrate

Migration is rare when filler is placed in the correct anatomical plane with gentle, even pressure. We inject only FDA-approved gels such as Restylane Lyft™ using a blunt-tip cannula to reduce trauma. Proper technique is the best defense against movement of product outside its intended area.

Cheek filler bruising

Bruising is possible because the mid-face is rich in tiny vessels. To keep it minimal:

  • Pause blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, vitamin E) one week ahead. Your injector will guide you.

  • Skip alcohol 24 hours before treatment.

  • Use a cold compress afterward in 10-minute intervals.
    Any discoloration usually fades within 3–5 days and is easy to cover with concealer.

Cheek filler swelling

Mild swelling peaks the morning after treatment, then settles steadily:

  • Day 1–2: Puffy but not painful.

  • Day 3–5: 80 % settled; cheeks look plump.

  • Day 14: Final shape.

Avoid strenuous workouts for 24 hours and follow your ice-on/ice-off routine. Call us if swelling is uneven or lasts longer than a week.
