The hyaluronic acid of the cheekbones is a treatment of aesthetic-oriented medicine intended to restore, support, or redefine the malar contour, a key area of the structure and balance of the face. The cheekbones play a fundamental role in the reading of facial volumes : they contribute to the projection of the middle third of the face and to the support of the surrounding tissues.
Over time, or due to constitutional morphology, the malar region may lose projection or definition. This change leads to a progressive sagging of the facial tissues, a loss of support of the nasolabial fold, and an alteration of the oval. The injection of hyaluronic acid at the level of the cheekbones aims to correct these imbalances by acting directly on the deep structure of the face.
The hyaluronic acid used for this indication is injected into deep planes, in contact with the bony structures, in order to recreate a stable support point. Its role is not to add superficial volume, but to restore the architecture of the face, respecting the morphology specific to each patient.
The treatment of the cheekbones with hyaluronic acid allows a progressive and personalized correction.
The initial consultation constitutes a decisive medical step before any hyaluronic acid injection in the cheekbones. Its objective is to evaluate the malar region in its structural role within the face and to assess the impact of a possible correction on the overall balance of facial volumes.
During this consultation, Doctor Romano performs a morphological analysis of the middle third of the face. The examination focuses on the projection of the cheekbones, their position in relation to the facial axes, and their symmetry. This analysis is carried out from the front, in profile, and dynamically, in order to understand how the malar region contributes to the expression and structure of the face.
The consultation also makes it possible to evaluate the origin of the request. A loss of projection related to aging, a constitutionally flat morphology, or an imbalance between the different thirds of the face are analyzed separately, because they involve different management strategies. The doctor will determine whether an injection at the level of the cheekbones is appropriate.
A complete medical history is taken in order to collect previous medical history, ongoing treatments, and any prior aesthetic procedures.
The initial consultation is finally a time of information and shared reflection. The doctor explains the principles of malar correction with hyaluronic acid, its limits, and its temporary nature. At the end of this discussion, a personalized indication may be established.
The injection of hyaluronic acid at the level of the cheekbones is indicated when the malar region no longer fully fulfills its role of support and projection in the architecture of the face. This indication is based before all on the identification of a structural deficit, whether related to aging or genetic factors.
With age, bone resorption and the loss of deep tissues lead to a progressive reduction of the malar contour. This loss of projection alters the balance of the middle third of the face and contributes to the sagging of the surrounding tissues. In this context, cheekbone enhancement with hyaluronic acid makes it possible to restore an essential support point for the stability of the face.
The treatment is also indicated in patients presenting constitutionally under-projected cheekbones. An insufficient projection of the malar region can give the face a flat or unbalanced appearance, without being related to aging. The injection of hyaluronic acid then makes it possible to reinforce the structure of the face, while respecting its natural proportions.
The indication may also be established when the loss of malar volume leads to indirect consequences, such as an accentuation of the nasolabial folds or an alteration of the oval of the face. In these situations, cheekbone enhancement is part of a global support approach, aiming to correct the structural cause rather than its manifestations .
Hyaluronic acid is not indicated when the objective is only to add superficial volume or to artificially modify the features.
Cheekbone enhancement is considered only after a precise medical analysis, with the objective of rebalancing facial volumes. The treatment aims to restore a natural harmony, without excess or unjustified transformation.
Hyaluronic acid injections at the level of the cheekbones make it possible to act on a key area of the architecture of the face. The cheekbones play an essential role in the balance of volumes : when they are properly defined, the entire face appears more harmonious.
The hyaluronic acid is injected deeply in order to ensure tissue support. This approach helps to prevent the sagging of the cheeks.
The face appears more structured and more rested, without visible modification or artificial effect.
The treatment allows a precise adjustment of volumes. Doctor Romano adapts the injected quantity to the morphology, age, and needs of each patient. This precision guarantees a measured result, respectful of the identity of each face, when the injections are performed by an experienced physician.
Before the session, certain precautions are recommended in order to preserve cutaneous integrity and to limit the risks of undesirable reactions, such as hematomas or inflammation. It is essential to inform Doctor Romano of all ongoing medical treatments or dietary supplements, some of which may increase vascular sensitivity.
In the days preceding the procedure, it is advisable to avoid aesthetic treatments or practices likely to irritate the skin, in order to maintain a healthy cutaneous barrier.
Respecting these recommendations helps to ensure the proper course of the treatment, to reinforce the safety of the procedure, and to promote an optimal result
A hyaluronic acid injection session intended for cheekbone enhancement takes place within a structured medical timeframe, where each step is guided by the search for a precise balance of the volumes of the middle third of the face. The patient is positioned in a way that allows an accurate analysis of the face, in a neutral position, in order to assess with precision the malar projection and its relationship with the surrounding structures.
Before any injection, the cheekbone region is carefully mapped. Doctor Romano identifies the areas requiring support or restoration of lost volume.
The skin is then prepared according to rigorous aseptic rules. Careful disinfection is carried out over the entire face.
The hyaluronic acid injection begins progressively. The product is placed in deep planes, chosen for their stability and their capacity to provide lasting support to the malar structure. The gesture is slow, measured, and guided by a constant evaluation of the projection obtained. The volumes are adjusted with restraint, in order to avoid any excessive correction and to respect the proportions of the face.
Throughout the session, the doctor performs repeated visual checks, making it possible to assess the symmetry and coherence of the malar contour. The injection is stopped as soon as the desired balance is achieved.
The session ends without the need for any particular downtime, and the patient can resume usual activities.
For hyaluronic acid injections in the cheekbones, products specially designed to support the structure of the face are used. The cheekbones are not an area that is “filled” : they serve as support for the middle third of the face and contribute to its overall balance.
The chosen hyaluronic acid must therefore be sufficiently firm to restore projection and support, without sagging or moving after injection. A product that is too soft would not be suitable, because the result would be less durable.
The cheekbones are constantly subjected to facial movements, such as smiling or chewing. The injected product must therefore withstand these constraints, maintain its shape, and remain well in place.
The choice of gel also depends on its capacity to integrate in a stable way at depth, in contact with the bony structures. This stability makes it possible to obtain a reliable, harmonious, and long-lasting result, without unexpected modification of volume.
The type of hyaluronic acid used is always adapted to the patient. Doctor Romano chooses it according to the shape of the face, age, tissue quality, and the objective sought. It is not the quantity injected that creates a good result, but the right product injected correctly in the right place, with a precise indication.
After a hyaluronic acid injection in the cheekbones, certain precautions must be respected in order to optimize the aesthetic result and to promote its harmonious integration. In the hours following the treatment, slight swelling, local sensitivity, or small bruises may appear ; these reactions are normal and temporary. It is recommended to avoid any pressure, massage, or manipulation of the injected area for at least 48 hours, as well as intense physical exertion and exposure to heat (sauna, hammam, sun) during the first week. Sleeping on the back, with the head slightly elevated, helps to limit edema and to preserve the symmetry of the result. Gentle skin care may be resumed the next day, while irritating or exfoliating products must be temporarily suspended. Adequate hydration is recommended, because hyaluronic acid is a naturally hydrophilic molecule.
The medical injection protocol for cheekbone augmentation is based on a rigorous anatomical analysis and a personalized evaluation of the face. Before any procedure, Doctor Romano analyzes the existing volumes, tissue quality, malar projection, and the overall balance of the middle third of the face. The injection of hyaluronic acid is performed while respecting precise anatomical planes, most often at depth, in contact with the malar bone, in order to obtain an effect of support and natural projection. The choice of product depends on its rheological properties, notably its cohesion and elasticity, adapted to the cheekbone area. The injections are carried out progressively, in small quantities, using a needle or a cannula, depending on the morphology and the clinical indication. This protocol aims to restore or enhance volumes while preserving facial harmony, patient safety, and the natural appearance of the result.
Cheekbone enhancement with hyaluronic acid injections makes it possible to obtain a subtle and natural elevation of the middle third of the face. The desired result is a harmonious restoration of volumes, an improvement of malar projection, and effective support of the tissues, allowing the face to regain a more structured, balanced, and rested appearance. By recreating the anatomical curves of the cheekbones, the injection improves the overall harmony of the face without altering expressiveness. The effect is visible immediately after the session, but the final result is appreciated after the complete disappearance of edema, generally within one to two weeks. When performed according to a precise medical protocol, cheekbone enhancement does not weigh down the features and avoids a frozen or artificial appearance. The intended result is a controlled volume, adapted to the patient’s morphology, with a progressive and long-lasting rejuvenating effect over time.
The duration of the effects of hyaluronic acid in the cheekbones varies according to several factors, notably the type of product used, the rheological properties of the hyaluronic acid, the injection technique, and the patient’s metabolism. On average, the result lasts between 10 and 12 months. As the malar area is not very mobile, the resorption of the product there is generally slower than in other regions of the face. Over time, the hyaluronic acid degrades progressively and naturally, without any abrupt modification of volumes. Maintenance injections, performed at appropriate intervals, make it possible to prolong the result while respecting the natural evolution of the face. Doctor Romano favors a measured and progressive approach, guaranteeing lasting aesthetic stability and harmonious integration of the product over time.
The aftereffects following a hyaluronic acid injection in the cheekbones are most often simple and temporary. In the hours following the treatment, moderate edema, local sensitivity, or bruising may appear, particularly in patients who have thin skin. These reactions correspond to the normal response of the tissues to the injection and disappear spontaneously within a few days. A sensation of tension may be felt at the beginning, before the complete integration of the product. The final result is assessed after the resorption of the inflammation, generally one to two weeks after the injection.
The respect of post-injection recommendations allows a favorable evolution and a progressive integration of the product, for a natural and harmonious result.
Testimonials collected after a hyaluronic acid injection at the level of the cheekbones most often report a visible improvement in facial harmony, with features perceived as more structured, while preserving a natural appearance, without transformation.
Patients generally describe a more rested face, with better defined cheekbones and visible support of the middle third. The immediate effect is often appreciated, even if the final result is considered more natural after a few days, once the edema has subsided. The dimension most frequently emphasized concerns the discretion of the treatment, the absence of an artificial appearance, and the respect of facial expression. When the injection is performed by an experienced physician, the experience is perceived as reassuring and consistent with the initial expectations established during the consultation.
