If you have questions or want to get the process started, call now for an appointment in Chico, CA. Dr. David Alonso looks forward to helping you achieve full cheeks.

Are you experiencing facial volume loss?

A few factors contribute to facial volume loss in men and women. The most significant cause is a gradual decrease in collagen production, which results in thinner skin and less structural support for the soft tissues. Additionally, as we age, our fat pads begin to shift downward, creating a sunken look.

Aside from aging, lifestyle choices like smoking and UV exposure can accelerate the aging process. Whatever the reason, dermal fillers can restore lost volume and rejuvenate your appearance.

Why choose dermal fillers for hollow cheeks?

Here's why fillers like JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC are a popular choice among patients in Chico, CA:

  • Nonsurgical option: No downtime or invasive procedures are required.
  • Subtle, natural-looking improvements: Enhances your beauty without "fake" or overdone results.
  • Balanced look: Not only can dermal fillers create full cheeks, but they also improve the symmetry and proportion of your face.
  • Customizable: Dr. Alonso tailors each treatment to unique features and goals.
  • Boosted confidence: Say goodbye to facial volume loss and hello to a fresher, rejuvenated look.

How long do dermal fillers last?

At Amour Medical Aesthetics, we use JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC to address issues like hollow cheeks. So, are you wondering, "How long do dermal fillers last?" The answer varies based on factors like metabolism and lifestyle habits. However, on average, dermal fillers last anywhere from 6 months – 2 years. Touch-up appointments may be recommended as needed to maintain optimal results.

One of the best ways to learn more about how long potential results can last is by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Alonso. During this appointment, we can assess your situation and provide personalized recommendations.

What to expect during treatment

Enhancing cheek volume with dermal fillers is a simple and straightforward process. A topical anesthetic may be applied for added comfort. Using a fine needle, Dr. Alonso will make precise injections into the targeted areas to help achieve your desired results.

You may experience some mild bruising or tenderness after treatment, but this should subside within a few days. Results are immediate and continue to improve in the following weeks as the filler settles into place.
