Cheek Volume Replacement

Dr Lanzer has been using a new type of injection specifically effective for filling cheeks.

Background:
With aging some people loose the convex shape of the cheeks. This can be seen by comparing a photograph of a child who has round full cheeks to the often drawn concave appearance in an elderly person. Of course there are many milder forms of thinning of the cheeks.

Method:
A  small bleb of local anesthetic is placed on the outer cheek and the filler is injected totally via one small needle incision. It can fill the cheeks and also give the cheek line more definition. It is different to other fillers in that it is placed very deep under the skin and is much thicker. The injections takes just a few minutes

Results:
The effect is seen immediately and makeup can be applied straight after the treatment. The results show that this filler can last around 18 months although there probably will be variations between patients.

Risks:
As with all fillers a bruise may occur

Combination:
We believe that the best results of fillers is seen when skin rejuvenation therapy is combined. Today there are many noninvasive light sources and therapies that can help make the skin surface appear smoother, refreshed and tighter. Dr Lanzer finds that combining treatments is effective and may suggest treatments such as microdermabrasion, Revlite, Aura, Isolaz, Portraite or Fraxel.
