What are Cheek fillers?

As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume, resulting in a sagging and sunken appearance. Cheek fillers offer a non-surgical solution for people who want to enhance their cheekbones, adding volume and definition to the face. In this treatment page, we will explore the benefits, procedure, and aftercare of cheek fillers.

Cheek fillers can help to enhance the natural contour of the face, making the cheekbones appear more defined and prominent. This can result in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Cheek fillers are made from a variety of materials, including hyaluronic acid and collagen. These fillers are safe and well-tolerated by the body, with minimal risk of allergic reaction or rejection. The results of this treatment are immediate and can last for up to 18 months.

Cheek Filler Procedure

The procedure for cheek fillers typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Before the treatment, the skin is cleaned and numbed using a local anesthetic to minimise discomfort. The filler is then injected into the cheeks using a fine needle. The amount of filler used will depend on the individual’s desired outcome and the extent of the volume loss. The injection process is carefully controlled to ensure a smooth and even result. Following the injection, the area may be gently massaged to ensure that the filler is distributed evenly. Most people experience minimal downtime after the treatment and can return to their normal activities immediately.


Additional Benefits of Cheek Fillers

Cheek fillers provide volume restoration and facial contouring through non-surgical treatment. The procedure creates balanced facial proportions and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Your practitioner can address facial asymmetry for improved facial harmony.
