Restylane® Contour
Cheek Definition Without Losing Natural Expression
Mid-face filler designed to restore volume and contour in Winter Park
Your cheeks flatten as you age, and the loss of volume in the mid-face can make your entire face look tired or hollow. If you live in Winter Park and want to restore structure without looking overdone or frozen, Restylane® Contour is formulated to add lift and definition while supporting the natural movement your face needs for expression.
This filler is placed along the cheekbones to rebuild volume and create a more defined contour. It integrates into your tissue without creating stiffness, so you can smile, talk, and move your face normally. The product is designed for patients who want refined facial balance, not exaggerated features, and the results look natural rather than obviously filled.
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center offers consultations to assess your mid-face structure and discuss how much lift or contour would improve your appearance.
How Placement Affects the Final Shape
You receive injections placed deep along the cheekbone, where the filler adds support and lift to the overlying tissue. In Winter Park, your provider maps the bone structure and injection points before starting, then uses a cannula or needle to deposit the product in layers for even distribution.
After treatment, your cheeks look fuller and more defined, but the product does not interfere with your ability to smile or make facial expressions. The filler sits under the skin and muscle, so it supports the tissue from beneath without creating visible bumps or ridges on the surface.
Results appear gradually as any initial swelling fades, usually within a few days. The filler lasts longer than products designed for superficial lines, often up to a year or more depending on how your body metabolizes hyaluronic acid. Proper placement is essential to avoid an unnatural appearance, so this treatment requires a provider with experience in facial anatomy and contouring techniques.
What People Usually Want to Know
Most questions before treatment focus on how the results will look, how long they last, and whether the injections will hurt. Here are the answers that come up most often.
What does the treatment feel like during the injections?
You may feel pressure and a dull ache as the product is placed along the bone. Most providers use a topical numbing cream or a dental block to reduce discomfort, and the filler contains lidocaine to further minimize pain during placement.
How long do the results from Restylane® Contour last?
Results typically last twelve to eighteen months, though this varies based on your metabolism and the amount of product used. You can return for maintenance treatments to keep the contour and volume over time.
When will I see the final results after my appointment?
You will notice some lift right away, but swelling can make your cheeks look fuller than the final result. Most swelling resolves within three to five days, and the final contour becomes clear after about two weeks.
Why does this filler require expert placement?
The product is placed deep along the cheekbone, and incorrect placement can create asymmetry, lumps, or an unnatural appearance. Your provider in Winter Park must understand facial anatomy and how the filler integrates with the surrounding tissue to achieve balanced results.
What happens if the results don't look the way I expected?
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down the product within one to two days. If the volume or contour does not meet your expectations, your provider can reverse or adjust the treatment.
Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center evaluates your bone structure and discusses the level of lift or definition that fits your goals before any injections are performed. If you want to restore mid-face volume without losing natural movement, you can schedule a consultation to review your options and determine if this treatment is right for you.
