Define and contour

Cheek filler can be used to help achieve a variety of aesthetic goals, such as defining the cheekbones more dramatically or restoring a youthful-looking radiance by reclaiming a subtle, natural-looking cheek contour. Restylane Lyft and Restylane Contour are specially designed for the cheeks.1-3

Reclaiming your contour

The cheeks are one of the first areas to show signs of aging in the face. As we age, we lose volume and definition in the cheeks, causing the appearance of “sagging” cheeks and fine lines. Restylane Contour is a hyaluronic acid cheek filler that can help restore your natural contour to refresh your look, while maintaining dynamic expression.2-4

Frequently Asked Questions

Aging skin loses volume and firmness, which leads to telltale signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging. Hyaluronic acid (HA) gel dermal fillers provide support and structure for the skin. To combat a saggy cheek look, Restylane Lyft can give the cheek needed structure for a lifted, less tired-looking appearance, while Restylane Contour restores the natural contour, or cheek definition, for a more youthful-looking appearance.1-4*

HA gel dermal fillers provide a non-surgical method with clinically proven safety and efficacy for restoring and maintaining a more youthful-looking appearance. To see Before & After photos, please explore our Results Gallery.

Most Restylane appointments last less than an hour, and results can be seen almost immediately as the added volume begins to smooth away wrinkles.

Your aesthetic goals will impact the amount of cheek filler needed for treatment. Talk to your injector about what you’re looking for, whether it’s the appearance of dramatically lifted and defined cheekbones (Restylane Lyft1) or subtly reclaiming the contour of cheeks (Restylane Contour2).

When studied in a clinical setting, the average volume of Restylane Lyft used for cheek augmentation was 3 mL total (3 syringes) at initial treatment, or roughly 1.5 mL per cheek. The average amount used in a study using Restylane Contour to restore midface volume loss was 3.8 mL, or 1.9 syringes per side.

In our Results Gallery, you will find Before & After photos of patients who received as little as 0.5 mL of Restylane Lyft per cheek, or as much as 1.5 mL per cheek. Before & After photos of patients who received Restylane Contour treatment show a range of 1 mL to 2 mL used per cheek.

Do not use if you have severe allergies with a history of severe reactions (anaphylaxis), are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins used to make hyaluronic acid, prone to bleeding, or have a bleeding disorder. The safety of use while pregnant or breastfeeding has not been studied. Tell your doctor if you have a history of scarring or pigmentation disorders as these side effects can occur with hyaluronic acid fillers. Tell your doctor if you are planning other cosmetic treatments (i.e., lasers and chemical peels) as there is a possible risk of inflammation at the injection site.

Tell your doctor if you’re taking medications that lower your body’s immune response or affect bleeding, such as aspirin or warfarin, as these medications may increase the risk of bruising or bleeding at the gel injection site. Using these products on gel injection sites with skin sores, pimples, rashes, hives, cysts, or infections should be postponed until healing is complete.

The most common side effects are swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache, tenderness, lump formation, itching at the injection site, and impaired hand function. Delayed-onset inflammation near the site of dermal filler injections is one of the known adverse events associated with dermal fillers, and cases have been reported to occur at the dermal filler treatment site following viral or bacterial illnesses or infections, vaccinations, or dental procedures. Typically, the reported inflammation was responsive to treatment or resolved on its own. Serious but rare side effects include delayed onset infections, recurrence of herpetic eruptions, and superficial necrosis at the injection site. The risk of unintentional injection into a blood vessel is small but can occur and could result in serious complications, which may be permanent including, vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection.

To report a side effect with any Restylane® product, please call Galderma Laboratories, L.P. at 1-855-425-8722.
