Cheek augmentation is a common cosmetic procedure, and injection-based methods are a popular choice. Several materials are used for this purpose, with hyaluronic acid and Aquafill being the most prevalent. Which of these two injection materials is superior?
Hyaluronic Acid for Cheek Augmentation
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body, making it relatively safe.Beyond its sculpting effects, hyaluronic acid also provides skin hydration. For those with dry or rough skin, hyaluronic acid is an excellent choice for temple augmentation.
Advantages: Sculpts the area while offering moisturizing benefits.
Disadvantages: Results last only 6-12 months.
Abeve Cheekbone Augmentation
Abeve has been in use since the 1990s, with over 20 years of application. It stimulates collagen regeneration in the skin, providing near-permanent filling effects when injected into sunken cheekbones.
However, experts caution against injecting AibeiFu in areas like the temples. Blood vessels in the temples connect to the cranial cavity. If injected into the cranium, it could cause intracranial embolism, posing a serious risk to life. This procedure demands exceptionally skilled injectors.
Advantages: The injection process is painless, and results can last approximately 20 years. However, based on the structural principles of the product, its effects can be considered permanent.
Disadvantages: The results after temple augmentation are nearly permanent and cannot be easily altered.
