Hyaluronic acid fillers for cheeks

[Account707]

I just got a conservative amount of Hyaluronic acid fillers for cheeks (750ml spread across both sides, spread it in a thin layer at the front part of the cheeks)
For the purpose of reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds and tear troughs, just by providing more structural support

First time getting filler. I swear it looks exactly the same or a bit worse, even like my face is a bit bloated and lost some contour. I dont know if i want to lose contour to help with the transition of the folds.

I understand that swelling can occur, but is it normal within a few hours of getting the filler? Whats your experience with cheek filler?

Have a follow up in 2 weeks. What do you think is a good way to follow up, if i want to continue the route of fillers for reducing nasolabial folds and tear troughs?

Thanks.

Before is first after is second.
Sorry its not the same lighting. I asked them about taking an after shot, but they said they'll do that in two weeks.
Like i said, i feel like there's no change.

dumb, you should have aqualyx’d the fat pad causing the folds instead

I heard there is a tradeoff between smoothening the transition between your cheek and the fold, but it can reduce the overall contour of the face, which is important in men.

I'm not sure what to ask for next time

But i'm very lean, and ive read that the fold is caused by lack of structural support, which fillers can somewhat compensate for

Intuitively what you are saying makes sense, but i didnt know if it is normal to reduce the fat directly

Yeah a nasolabial fold when ur lean is mostly caused by a recessed maxilla

But bro i think there was other hardmaxxes that would've been better for u honestly

Yeah but a facelift/surgery on the maxilla at 24 is a hard decision. I might as well have tried fillers right?

The idea is some increased structure with filler on the cheekbone can help pull the skin upwards and away from the fold, tightening it, making it look better superficially

Try having a fat graft on the undereye, i read a while ago that the lack of fat in that area migrates down and causes folds. Im not 100% sure about this tho, research it first. However it probably worked dont you have a better before/after photo?

Went to a clinic, not a medical spa or DIY.
I asked about getting a really conservative amount to start with.
Oh yeah it was 1ml HA across both sides, $750 was the price
I asked for specifics about where it was applied, and they just said a thin layer in the front of the cheek.

I will have a before/after in two weeks, in the same lighting. Right now its even a bit hard even in my house because there might be swelling.
But overall it kind of just looks exactly the same. I can sort of touch my cheek and feel a little "fullness" though, but very hard to say.

> lack of fat in that area migrates down and causes folds
Yeah it seems so obvious at first, fat in the cheek causes fold, lack of fat in the undereye causes recession... so just migrate the fat back up. But everywhere I read its all about structure and bone, not just moving fat around. I'll ask though.
