The midface (cheeks and under-eyes) plays a major role in masculine attractiveness. A strong, well-balanced midface makes men look youthful, confident, and energetic. For men seeking to enhance this area, two common options are midface fillers and cheek implants.
But which is better for men in Bangkok — the non-surgical filler approach or the surgical implant option? This guide compares the two treatments in terms of procedure, recovery, costs, and long-term results.
What Are Midface Fillers?
Midface fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA) injectables placed in the cheeks and under-eyes.
How they work:
Restore lost volume from aging
Smooth under-eye hollows and nasolabial folds
Provide subtle lift without surgery
Results:
Immediate, natural-looking improvements
Last 12–18 months
Discreet and reversible
What Are Cheek Implants?
Cheek implants are a surgical solution where silicone or porous implants are inserted to create permanent cheek enhancement.
How they work:
Add projection and definition to midface
Provide permanent structure and volume
Done under anesthesia in a hospital or surgical clinic
Results:
Long-lasting, often permanent
More dramatic than fillers
Requires recovery and carries surgical risks
Midface Fillers vs Cheek Implants: Key Differences
Feature | Midface Fillers | Cheek Implants |
Procedure | Injections, 30–45 mins | Surgery, 1–2 hrs under anesthesia |
Recovery | 1–2 days mild swelling | 1–2 weeks downtime |
Results Onset | Immediate | Immediate, permanent |
Duration | 12–18 months | Permanent |
Reversibility | Yes (HA fillers can be dissolved) | No (requires removal surgery) |
Bangkok Cost | THB 15,000–25,000 per syringe | THB 120,000–200,000+ per surgery |
Which Is Better for Men?
Choose Midface Fillers if you want:
Subtle, natural improvement without surgery
A reversible and adjustable solution
Quick recovery, discreet results
Choose Cheek Implants if you want:
A permanent solution with dramatic enhancement
Strong, long-term structure to the midface
Willingness to undergo surgery and downtime
Many men in Bangkok start with fillers to test the look, then consider implants later if they want permanent results.
Results and Recovery
Fillers: Mild swelling for 1–2 days, back to normal immediately, results last 12–18 months
Implants: Bruising/swelling for 1–2 weeks, stitches required, results permanent
Costs in Bangkok
Midface Fillers: THB 15,000–25,000 per syringe (USD 400–700)
Cheek Implants: THB 120,000–200,000+ (USD 3,200–5,500) including hospital fees
Compared to Western countries, Bangkok offers both at significantly lower costs with high-quality care.
