Loss of volume in the cheeks is an early sign of ageing and can have a huge impact on the rest of the face. Everything shifts downwards, jowls appear and you can start to look older, permanently unhappy or tired. The overall effect of having sculpted cheeks makes an individual look healthier and well rested.

Cheekbones and fullness in the centre of the face is a very attractive and youthful feature. As we age, volume loss can give the appearance of a gaunt and drawn down face. Enhancements using cheek filler can restore the scaffolding in the face create a lifting effect to the entire face.
A thorough consultation is carried out by Dr Sandy and the mid face is assessed alongside the rest of your features to define where the filler should be placed. Dermal filler is placed using a needle or cannula (bendy needle) under the skin to help lift the tissues to contour and restore volume.
The treatment is minimally invasive and well tolerated. Once the injection sites have been cleansed, numbing cream can be applied to reduce discomfort. Once this has taken effect, the filler is delivered in a slow safe manor to minimise any discomfort. The dermal filler also contains anaesthetic so this continues to reduce discomfort as treatment progresses.
Results with cheek fillers are instant and they get better after a few weeks once the filler has fully integrated. Sometimes there can be mild swelling, redness or bruising and once this has settled the final result can be seen. Dr Sandy is always happy to arrange follow ups with patients should they feel they need them.
Dermal fillers in the cheeks last around 12-18 months depending on a patient’s lifestyle and metabolism. The filler naturally breaks down overtime and more can be added if needed.
Once treatment has been carried out, Dr Sandy will go through the aftercare and there is occasional risk of redness, bruising and swelling due to the face having many blood vessels. There is very rare risk of blocking vessels and this will be discussed in detail at your appointment.
