Achieve Naturally Lifted Cheeks that Last for Months
As we age, the slender contours of youth can gradually dissolve, leaving behind hollows and sagging where cheeks once lifted high. Botox cheek lift treatments harness the lifting power of targeted injections to subtly rejuvenate facial fullness from the inside out.
Botox Cheek Lift: Step-by-Step Process
- We’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and facial features during an in-depth consultation. Photos may be taken to analyze proportions and track progress.
- A few days before treatment, avoid certain supplements, medications, and cosmetic procedures that could increase bruising. On the day of, the treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned. A topical numbing cream is often applied 30-60 minutes prior to relax the muscles and minimize discomfort during injections.
- You will sit comfortably upright, and the targeted cheek muscles will be identified. Using ultra-thin sterile needles, pre-measured amounts of Botox will be injected into specific points with slight pressure. The entire process takes around 15-30 minutes.
- Occasionally, some stiffness, fullness, tenderness, or bruising may develop. Swelling is generally minor and limited to the treated areas. Taking an over-the-counter pain medication can help with any minor soreness.
- Plan to avoid strenuous activities or intensive exercises for 4-6 hours post-treatment. Make-up can cover any bruising if needed. Aside from that, you can resume your regular routine and schedule activities as tolerated.
- It takes 7-10 days to start seeing subtle contours emerge as muscles relax. By 2 weeks, lifting effects are visible. Maximum correction will last 3-6 months and will hold you over until your next touch-up session.
- Every 3-6 months, you will return to maintain lifted cheekbones with minimal repeated doses. Fewer units are often required at each following touch-up as muscles remain moderately responsive.
