Sagging Cheeks
FULLER
CHEEKS
GLASGOW
When we are young, we have a plentiful supply of fat or volume in the face — this keeps the skin looking firm and taut with a contour and definition that can enhance the youthfulness of the face. But this changes as we age.
Dr Darren McKeown offers a range of cutting edge non-surgical & surgical treatments for fuller cheeks in Glasgow from his state of the art clinic — McKeown Medical.
As we age, our cheeks sag or become more droopy. We used to believe this was simply due to the effect of gravity, which causes the tissues in the cheek area to fall. We now have a much more sophisticated understanding of facial ageing and realise that loss of volume is the main contributor to this type of ageing that changes the shape of the cheek.
Get in touch with the McKeown team to find a cheek filler treatment or surgical solution for you.

Add Volume to
Sagging Cheeks
with or without Surgery
When we are young, we have a plentiful supply of fat or volume in the face — this keeps the skin looking firm and taut with a contour and definition that can enhance the youthful shape of the face. As we age, however, we lose facial volume and so the appearance of redundant — or excess — skin develops. In addition to this, there are changes that occur at the bony level causing the facial skeleton to lose bone. This contributes to the loss of volume, as well as reduces the structural support for the soft tissues of the cheek.
Fortunately, as our understanding of facial ageing improved, so did the options for procedures to treat this cheek sagging. Today, patients with sagging cheeks can choose between procedures that don’t require surgery, such as a dermal filler treatment, or procedures that do require going under the knife, such as a facelift. Dr Darren McKeown offers options for both at his leading cosmetic & aesthetic clinic in Glasgow.
Cheek Fillers for Natural Looking Volume
The mainstay of treating sagging cheeks for natural-looking results has therefore moved away from ‘lifting’ to ‘filling’.
Although the idea of a filling procedure can seem quite scary at first – we have all seen celebrities with over-filled faces that don’t always look nice – the effects of well carried out cheek fillers (dermal fillers) can be extremely effective at rejuvenating the face. Fillers enhance the face by giving more definition to the facial contours in a way that looks natural.
The key to augmenting the cheeks with a dermal filler treatment is to focus on simply restoring what has been lost; not trying to create something that never existed in the first place. So long as you stick within this remit, you should achieve a very natural, youthful and effective result.

Sagging Cheeks:
Cheek Fillers
(Dermal Fillers)
Cheek fillers are the quickest, easiest, most cost-effective, and usually the best solution for rejuvenating sagging cheeks. Our dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is injected beneath the skin’s surface into the areas that have lost volume. The hyaluronic acid stimulates the body’s production of collagen, which results in a fuller face and more youthful appearance.
The placement of each injection is very precise.
Using filler for sagging cheeks is one of the safest treatments available because hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if a rare complication develops or if the patient changes their mind. As a result, dermal fillers for sagging cheeks are the most popular non-surgical treatment.
In regular cases, the results from treating sagging cheeks with filler can last anywhere between 4 months and 3 years, depending on the type of dermal filler treatment, the treated areas, and the desired shape.
Depending on where the dermal fillers are injected in the cheek area, you could not only restore the loss of volume in your cheeks but also reduce wrinkles in the process. The result generally resembles the patients’ natural volume rather than an unnaturally filled look. This can do a lot in fighting the visual effects of ageing

for Sagging
Cheeks:
Cheek Implants
Cheek implants are the traditional way of restoring volume in the mid-face. This was the most widely used technique for adding volume before dermal fillers became popular. Unlike dermal fillers, they are usually inserted under general anaesthetic.
An incision is made inside the mouth, creating access to the cheekbones. A solid implant, usually made of silicone, is then inserted on top of the bone. The swelling following this procedure can be very pronounced and can take a few months to settle down completely.
The benefit of cheek implants is that they last a long time — although they usually need to be replaced at some point in the future as the face continues to age but the implant remains the same.
Traditional surgical cheek implants have fallen out of favour in recent years since injectable technology such as dermal filler for sagging cheeks has improved and, therefore, we do not offer surgical cheek plants. Enquire about our award-winning dermal filler treatments to find out more.
Facelift Surgery
A facelift is a cost-effective treatment for reducing loose skin on the lower face and neck. This procedure, however, has a more limited impact on reducing the amount of sagging skin on the cheek area, so it is rarely an effective lower face volume loss treatment for sagging cheeks.
