What really helps against cheek wrinkles?

Even though your cheek wrinkles have involuntarily become your „old acquaintances“ that doesn’t mean that you have to spend the rest of your life in their company.

Thanks to various wrinkle treatment methods cheek wrinkles as well as creases of different types, shapes and structure can be smoothened or even made completely invisible.

Learn on the following pages which treatments I as an experienced specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery use in my modern practice in Munich to smoothen-up or even to eliminate wrinkles in the facial area and to treat cheek wrinkles in a sustainable way for a visible success.

Cheek wrinkles or creases are lateral wrinkles in the facial area. They appear on the cheeks and run from the temples to the chin and from the ears to the mouth as fine thin vertical lines. With ongoing age cheek wrinkles can extend on larger skin areas.

Cheek wrinkles take different forms and shapes a have different characteristics like depth and size. Additionally, the causes for their forming play an important role to distinguish them from each other and to find the most appropriate treatments.

As a proven specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery with a state-of-the-art equipped practice in Munich I distinguish between the following common cheek wrinkles:

As soon as cheek wrinkles appear as strongly pronounced deep furrows on the cheeks and are visible regardless of our facial expressions we talk about static wrinkles. These deep and pronounced wrinkles appear especially prominent in areas where the skin is thinnest.

Deep and pronounced cheek wrinkles can be treated for example with the injection of hyaloronic acid. Thus lost volume can be rebuilt and the skin regains new firmness.

As a proven specialist for plastic and aesthetic surgery with a modern practice in Munich I insert collagen forming threads (PDO threads), a sustainable and gentle treatment for deep and pronounced cheek wrinkles that goes completely without surgery or scalpel.

These Meso threads stimulate the forming of endogenous collagen and elastin. The skin visibly regains volume and the connective tissue hardens. The impressive result: tighter facial contours and an overall rejuvenated appearance.

Creases on the cheeks and/or on the lateral facial area can initially appear as fine vertical lines and with time extend on larger skin areas or in a chessboard-shaped form.

Depending on the stadium and the manifestation lateral cheek wrinkles can be treated with collagen forming and tightening Meso threads, with injections of hyaloronic acid or Botulinumtoxin or by deploying a laser to give back the skin its natural volume and to regain tighter facial contours.

With the deployment of Meso Threads against cheek wrinkles collagen forming threads (PDO threads) are inserted in a minimally invasive way and without surgery or scalpel to smoothen-up or even to eliminate wrinkles. The skin is again capable to retain more moisture which leads to an upholstering of the skin’s volume.

Additionally the skin on the cheeks gets contracted by the extra insertion of tension threads so that the connective tissue can harden again and the skin can regain its firmness.

Cheek wrinkles and hyaluronic acid

The injection of body-identical hyaluronic acid aims at an upholstering of already deep and pronounced cheek wrinkles form the inside. The hyaluronic acid is directly injected under the skin and functions as filling material.

This also stimulates the cell renewal what finally leads to a firmer and smoother skin in the cheeks’ area.

As for the side effects of the injection of hyaluronic acid there may appear temporary reddening, swellings or bruises on and around the treated areas.

It is also important to mention that hyaluronic acid degrades with time. So you should calculate to repeat the hyaluronic acid injection after approx. six month.

Cheek wrinkles Botulinumtoxin

For the treatment of cheek wrinkles Botulinumtoxin injections the nerve toxin is injected with a very thin needle. The substance paralyzes the muscles in the respective cheek areas and reduces the unconscious facial expressions. This on its part prevents the forming of new wrinkles on the cheeks and slows down the deepening of already existing wrinkles. The skin becomes smoother and less wrinkled. The suppression respectively the relaxation of the muscles last approx. three to six months. After that the Botulinum injection should be repeated. wiederholt werden.

There may occur reddening and/or light swellings around the treated areas can occur which normally subside after a short time

In a personal conversation I will gladly advice you in detail how the injection of hyaluronic acid or Botulinumtoxin or a combination of both can lead to a smoothening of your individual cheek wrinkles.

Cheek wrinkles are expression wrinkles. They form as a result of the natural movement of the muscles and the biological aging process of the skin.

Initially cheek wrinkles appear as dynamic creases or fine lines that are only visible with certain facial expressions. With ongoing age cheek wrinkles become more pronounced and deeper and extend to wider areas to finally “end up” as permanently visible deeper furrows in the face.

Depending on how strong the cheek wrinkles are prominent and the wrinkles on the face are generally pronounced and on where wrinkles and creases appear and finally according to individual conditions, the different treatment options can lead to success: a firmer, fresher and rejuvenated skin with few wrinkles.

In a first consultation I would be happy to discuss with you personally which might be the most appropriate “medicine” against annoying cheek wrinkles or creases. I look forward to meeting you!
