Cheek Fillers vs. Implants: Choosing the Best Option

Woman has fuller cheeks thanks to augmentation with fillerHaving full, prominent cheeks is widely considered an attractive trait, but not everyone is gifted with great cheeks genetically. Fortunately, cheek augmentation is a powerful way to enhance your facial balance and create a more youthful appearance.

At Plastic Surgery Specialists of New Jersey, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Frank J. Ferraro brings over 26 years of experience in his field. Dr. Ferraro is trusted for his expertise in cosmetic surgery of the face and body, including advanced cheek enhancement techniques.

How Cheek Fillers Add Volume

If you are seeking a non-surgical solution, cheek fillers use hyaluronic acid-based injectables to restore volume and contour. This option is ideal for subtle enhancements or early signs of midface aging. Results appear immediately and last approximately 12 to 18 months. With minimal downtime and no incisions, fillers are often a great choice for first-time patients or those who want a flexible approach to facial rejuvenation.

How Cheek Implants Reshape Your Face

However, if you prefer a permanent solution, Dr. Ferraro performs cheek implant surgery to create more defined, long-lasting contours. Using biocompatible implants, he can enhance facial structure and restore balance to your midface. This procedure is often performed through discreet incisions inside the mouth or lower eyelid and is an excellent choice for achieving more dramatic, enduring results.

Choosing Between Fillers and Implants

The decision between fillers and implants depends on several factors:

  • Longevity – Fillers are temporary and adjustable; implants are permanent.
  • Downtime – Fillers involve no recovery; implants require a short healing period.
  • Degree of enhancement – Implants may suit those seeking significant volume restoration.
  • Commitment level – Fillers allow flexibility; implants provide a lasting solution.

Dr. Ferraro carefully evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy and goals to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
