Cheekbone aesthetics, which has become one of the most popular procedures in aesthetic surgery today, plays a major role in making the face look young, vibrant and balanced. Prominent cheekbones are not only an element of beauty; they are also an important structure that defines facial proportions and adds dynamism to facial expressions.

Some people have genetically flat or sunken cheekbones, while others experience volume loss, sagging, and reduced definition in this area with age. Cheekbone aesthetics is an effective solution for those who want to add volume to this central area of the face, improve proportions, and regain a youthful appearance.

Why is cheekbone aesthetics so important?

The middle part of the face is one of the areas where signs of ageing are first noticed. As we get older, the fat under our skin decreases, collagen production slows down, and muscle tone drops. This causes hollows around the cheekbones, sagging skin, and a general tired look.

A complaint I frequently encounter in my clinical practice is that patients’ faces appear duller, older, and lifeless than before. However, cheekbone aesthetics performed with the right techniques can both eliminate these signs of ageing and balance facial features that are not naturally prominent.

Non-Surgical Cheekbone Aesthetic Options

One of the most common methods I apply in my clinic in Istanbul is non-surgical cheekbone aesthetics. In this method, dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid are used to eliminate the loss of volume in the face, the contour is clarified and the face gets a younger appearance.

Advantages of the application:

  • It is non-surgical and painless.

  • It takes an average of 30 minutes.

  • No recovery time required

  • The results are natural and reversible.

  • The effect can last for 12 to 18 months.

For patients seeking a natural alternative, fat injection (fat transfer) is also a highly effective method. In this technique, fat taken from areas such as the abdomen or hips is processed and injected into the cheekbones. Fat cells not only add volume, but also have skin-enhancing effects.

Permanent Results with Surgical Cheekbone Aesthetics

Surgical cheekbone aesthetics is suitable for patients who want a more permanent and significant change. In this method, specially prepared implants are placed through small incisions made inside the mouth. Thanks to these implants, permanent volume is added to the middle part of the face, the sunken cheeks are eliminated and a younger appearance is achieved.

Surgical procedures are generally suitable for the following conditions:

  • Individuals seeking permanent solutions

  • Those experiencing advanced volume loss

  • Those who want to have sharper facial features

The recovery process takes an average of 7–14 days, and general anaesthesia is administered during the procedure to prevent pain.

Personalised Planning: The Key to Natural and Aesthetic Results

Every face is different, and cheekbone aesthetics must be planned individually for each person. At our clinic, we analyse the proportions of our patients’ faces in detail during the initial consultation and determine the most appropriate technique based on skin type, age, expectations and degree of volume loss.

While a simple filling may be sufficient for some patients, others may require more permanent methods such as fat injections or implants.
