Cheek augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses dermal fillers to enhance and contour the cheeks.

Dermal fillers are injected into the cheek area to add volume, improve symmetry, and create a more youthful, lifted appearance. The fillers consist of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance naturally found in the body and helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin.

Most people experience only mild discomfort during the treatment, and a topical anesthetic can be applied to the area to minimize any pain or discomfort.

The duration of the results can vary depending on the type of filler used, the amount injected, and the individual’s metabolism. Generally, cheek fillers can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months before a touch-up or repeat treatment is needed. Factors such as smoking, excessive sun exposure, and strenuous exercise can also affect the longevity of the results. Our clinicians will be able to provide you with more personalised information on how long you can expect your results to last.

Like any cosmetic treatment, there are some risks and potential side effects associated with cheek augmentation using dermal fillers, including infection, bruising, and allergic reactions. However, these risks are relatively low when the treatment is performed by a qualified and experienced professional.

Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment, although there may be some swelling and bruising in the treated area that can take a few days to subside.

Cheek augmentation using dermal fillers typically takes around 30 minutes to complete.

The recovery period after cheek augmentation with dermal fillers is typically short, with most patients able to return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, some mild swelling, redness, and bruising may occur, and these side effects usually subside within a few days. It is important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after the procedure to minimize the risk of infection or complications. Your practitioner will provide you with specific aftercare instructions tailored to your individual needs to ensure a safe and successful recovery.
