Cheekbone Filler Injection

The top of the cheekbone is an important structure that gives the face a "V" shape. In this region, there are holding ligaments that hold the face up.

As these ligaments loosen with aging, the cheeks sink downward, the nasolabial groove becomes prominent, and the face sags downward at the jaw line. Filling applications in this area will support this retaining ligament and provide some "lifting" effect, depending on the person's facial structure and age. With the accompanying middle cheek filler, the under-eye groove is also alleviated by providing projection on the face.
