Face Treatment

Dermal Fillers for Cheeks


The position and shape of the cheekbones is essential for facial beauty. Well defined and proportioned cheeks improve the profile of the face increasing a youthful and attractive look without shadows or creases and can be helped by dermal fillers for cheeks.

Facial volume is predictably lost with age and many people benefit considerably from restoring this fullness and shape to have a more youthful facial appearance.

Dr Owen practices cheek augmentation with different types of high-quality dermal fillers at his Swansea Bay practice using hyaluronic acid fillers with both needle and cannula technique, and measures to minimise any discomfort. The aim is for a projected cheek but a natural look. For ladies we hope to reproduce the ‘Ogee curve’ which is a double curve on the 45 degree view, which is a look of classic beauty. Men also had an apex, set slightly lower than females, but is essential to avoid a gaunt look that is ageing.  

Technique for dermal fillers in cheeks

As part of the full facial assessment, the optimal position of the cheek apex is measured and marked using the golden ratio (see here).

The apex (point) of the cheek is enhanced and the cheekbones and surrounding soft tissues shaped to restore the fullness of youth.

Cheek filler can be combined with treatment to the lower eyelid/cheek junction (the tear trough) to  eliminate ageing shadows. Dermal fillers can be injected in several ways such as over the cheekbones to provide more definition, often giving a “chiselled” appearance.

Alternatively, injecting the dermal filler into the soft tissue of the cheeks can lift the area, providing youthful volume and correcting the sunken appearance which is associated with ageing.

Improving lift from the cheek area can also improve areas in the lower face with a non-surgical facelift to pull back on the sagging skin which can form jowls and lines, and is often the first treatment to undertake for those zones.

Dr Owen has undertaken a high level of training to give him the experience to inject facial fillers appropriately and safely. Patients trust him to restore the volume that has been lost while enhancing the cheekbones in a natural way.

FAQ's

Dermal Fillers for Cheeks Faqs

What is the cost of dermal fillers in the cheek?

Because we make a bespoke treatment plan with every patient, and every person will need different amounts, we charge per volume but make sure that we are as economical as possible with optimal technique and in some cases blending fillers.

Anywhere between 0.5-3 ml are needed on each side (usually 0.5-1 ml initially); younger patients who already have plump tissues without volume loss will need relatively little, whereas patients who have more advanced changes need significantly more. Dr Thomas will discuss the individualised treatment plan with every patient. For information regarding the cost please see our price list.

How long do dermal fillers last in the cheeks and midface?

On average we would expect dermal filler to typically last 12-18 months but this can vary significantly. We only use the best and most expensive products such as Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft, Belotero and Teoxane RHA family.

What is the downtime with dermal fillers in the cheeks?

Recovery time varies for each patient and each type of filler injected. You can resume most activities right away, but it is generally recommended that you avoid intense physical activity for the first 24-48 hours to minimise swelling and bruising.

It is best to avoid touching the area or applying makeup for around 12 hours after treatment and avoid flying for 24-48 hours.

Although many clinics advise against drinking alcohol for 24 hours, there is no evidence this is beneficial and can be restrictive – we do however suggest moderate amounts are sensible.

Do cheek dermal fillers hurt?

The treatment is with a fine needle and is not usually painful. Dr Thomas takes great care to minimise discomfort further with cooling, vibration, meticulous technique, and uses fillers that are pre-mixed with local anaesthetic (therefore minimising the discomfort from subsequent injections).

Are there any complications or side effects from fillers?

As with any medical treatment, there can be side effects although these are usually mild given that hyaluronic acid is a natural substance. Transient swelling is common sometimes with occasional redness and bruising which settle after a couple of days. Dr Thomas will discuss all possible side effects at the time of the assessment.

Serious complications are minimised with careful technique, expert knowledge of anatomy and frequently blunt-tipped microcannula. Fortunately, hyaluronic acid fillers also have a substance which can break up the dermal filler and reverse the effects of blood vessel blockages.
