As we age, the cheeks are often one of the first areas to show signs of volume loss and sagging. Some people seek cheek filler to sharpen and define their cheekbones, adding contour to the midface. Others, especially those experiencing sagging cheeks with more advanced volume loss, turn to non-surgical filler treatments to restore support, structure, and lift. These options offer visible rejuvenation without cutting, stitches, or surgical implants.
What causes sagging cheeks?
Sagging cheeks are typically caused by the gradual loss of structural support under the skin, including bone, fat, and connective tissue. As that support diminishes, the skin loses its anchor and begins to fold or droop forward.
What can be done to address sagging cheeks?
At Verve, Dr. Stephen Bracci uses a personalized approach to restore volume and support to the midface. He customizes each treatment using a combination of dermal fillers for cheeks, designed to lift and recontour the area based on your unique facial structure.
Fillers such as Juvederm, Voluma, Radiesse, Restylane, Sculptra, and Versa are commonly used to restore lost volume and help lift the skin back toward its natural position.
For patients with more advanced cheek sagging, Dr. Bracci’s exclusive BaseLift™ procedure offers a comprehensive, layered approach to support and rejuvenation. Thousands of patients have undergone this non-surgical treatment, available only at Verve’s NYC and NJ locations.
How long do cheek filler results last?
Filler longevity depends on the type of product used, how much is injected, and individual metabolism. In most cases, results from cheek sagging treatment last anywhere from 12 to 24 months, with maintenance touch-ups as needed.This information was medically reviewed by board-certified physician Stephen P.
