The main difference between lateral cheek enhancement and mid-cheek enhancement lies in the specific area of the cheek being targeted and the aesthetic goals associated with each type of treatment.
CHEEK ENHANCEMENT TREATMENT
Lateral Cheek Enhancement
LOCATION: This is injected into the outer part of the cheekbone area, closer to the temples.
PURPOSE: Lateral cheek enhancement aims to add volume to the outer portion of the cheeks, enhancing the overall contour of the face. They can help lift and define the cheekbone area, contributing to a more angular and youthful appearance.
RESULTS:
- Enhanced Cheekbone Definition: Provides more definition and contour to the cheekbone area, making the cheekbones appear higher and more pronounced.
- Improved Jawline and Temple Area: Can enhance the overall facial structure, often giving a more sculpted appearance to the jawline and temples.
- Facial Contour: Creates a more angular and chiseled look, which can help balance the proportions of the face.
- Lifted Appearance: Can contribute to a subtle lift in the lateral aspect of the face, helping to counteract the effects of aging or volume loss.
Mid-Cheek Enhancement
LOCATION: This is injected into the central part of the cheek, more towards the apples of the cheeks.
PURPOSE: Mid-cheek enhancement is used to add volume and lift to the central part of the cheek. This can help with creating a fuller, more youthful look and improving the balance between the upper and lower parts of the face.
RESULTS:
- Increased Volume in the Cheek Area: Adds fullness to the apples of the cheeks, resulting in a youthful, rounded appearance.
- Reduction of Hollowness: Helps to fill in any hollowness or sagging in the mid-cheek area, which can improve facial symmetry.
- Lifted Look: Provides a subtle lift to the central part of the face, contributing to an overall more youthful and refreshed look.
- Balanced Appearance: Can enhance the overall balance and proportion between the upper and lower parts of the face.
In summary, the visual impact of lateral cheek enhancement often results in a more dramatic and sculpted appearance by focusing on enhancing the outer cheekbone area and surrounding areas. Whilst mid-cheek enhancement targets the central cheek area to create a fuller and more youthful contour. The choice between the two depends on your specific aesthetic goals and the natural structure of your face.
