Smoothing out facial lines and filling out hollowed cheeks no longer requires extensive surgery.  Thousands of people are turning to dermal fillers and the ‘Liquid Facelift’ procedure to enhance key areas of the face, and cheek augmentation is one of the quickest ways to achieve a more youthful look. 

The apples of the cheeks can show signs of premature aging in the early 30s and 40s, but dermal fillers such as Radiesse can help plump up the cheeks and smooth out lines and wrinkles for an instant fix. The Radiesse Lift is becoming a popular procedure for baby boomers, and is one lunchtime fix that can provide an instant transformation.   If you have sagging or drooping skin around the middle of the face, you may be a good candidate for the Radiesse Lift. 

Here’s a closer look at how this procedure works:

How the Radiesse Lift Works

Researchers have confirmed that smooth, rounder cheeks are one of the signs of youth, and dermal fillers can help plump up hollowed cheek areas to create smoother, ‘apple-like’ cheeks. Key facial compartments around the cheek and upper jaw areas can be augmented with the compounds in Radiesse injections, and help to create a natural appearance that adjusts to the contours of the face. Radiesse has become a popular choice for many because it does create a natural look and tends to last longer than other dermal fillers such as Restylane. 

An 18-month clinical study of Radiesse showed that 100 percent of patients showed an improvement in their appearance after 12 months, while 90 percent of patients maintained improvements for 18 months (Source: radiesse-fl.com).

Key Benefits of the Radiesse Lift

Anyone who does not want to undergo extensive surgery or facial rejuvenation procedures to enhance their appearance may be good candidates for a Radiesse Lift.  In addition to outlasting many of today’s popular dermal fillers, Radiesse offers several benefits including:

No absorption – unlike collagne fillers, Radiesse is not absorbed by the body so it has a lower risk of adverse reactions.

Undetectable to the touch – Dr. Richard Dolsky, a cosmetic surgeon in Philadelphia who offers Radiesse injections at his practice explains that unlike other fillers, Radiesse is undetectable to the touch.

Can be used for the nose and chin – anyone who wants to recontour their nose or chin area can turn to Radiesse cosmetic fillers to help create a more attractive appearance.

Other Options for Facial Rejvuenation

In addition to using Radiesse around the cheeks, dermal fillers such as Restylane and Botox can be administered to plump up facial wrinkles on the forehead, around the mouth, and even around the eyes.

Facial rejuvenation treatments such as Thermage can help tighten and tone up the skin deep within the skin’s surface, helping to create a smooth and attractive appearance from inside out.  These types of treatments may be combined or alternated with Radiesse injections for even more natural-looking results.
