TREATMENTS
What can help?
Many patients are afraid of cheek filler, for fear of ending up with “hamster cheeks”. However, carefully performed – while using the correct amount for the individual face – the results can be transformative, yet beautifully subtle. In the patient example below a very small amount of dermal filler – just 2mls – was used to add some additional width to the mid-face. In addition, a small amount of Botox also contributed to a newly refreshed appearance.

COMMON
QUESTIONS
We use dermal fillers which contain a local anaesthetic known as lidocaine, which helps to reduce discomfort – while use of a topical numbing cream can be of benefit for patients who are anxious.
Cheek Filler works in several different ways. By restoring the tissues that have atrophied (shrunk) over time, treatment can help to restore a youthful face shape, while supporting the delicate eye area and preventing the lower-lid from being dragged downwards. It also lifts the mid-face: preventing a slackening lower-face and sagging in the Jowls.
Post-procedure, you may see a bit of swelling and the area will feel tender – however, this has normally passed by the next morning. Most patients who have Cheek Filler are back to their normal activities the same day. If bruising does occur, it can be covered with post-procedure makeup – though this should not be applied until the day following treatment. We also encourage patients to sleep with their head elevated for the first few nights following the procedure, to keep any swelling to a minimum.
The effect is subtle yet immediate: the cheeks look firmer, with the bone structure gently defined – while the face appears well-rested and looks somehow happier. The best results are seen in two weeks’ time, when the filler has fully integrated with the tissue and the face has settled.
