Cheek augmentation

This treatment lifts, rejuvenates and adds volume to cheeks that have lost fullness with age, softening nose-to-mouth lines and creating stronger cheekbone definition and enhanced facial contours.

 

Results:

You will see some results as soon as the treatment is finished. The full effects will develop over the next four weeks. The results will normally last for around 12-18 months.

 

Review:

We will usually ask you to a review appointment 14 days after the treatment. At this stage, further touch-up injections can be given if needed. There is no charge for this review.

 

Note:

This procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort.

  1. This treatment takes about 45 minutes, which includes a detailed consultation with your doctor.
  2. First, we apply numbing cream and make a small number of local anaesthetic injections into the facial area.
  3. We then place small amounts of dissolvable hyaluronic acid facial filler into and around the cheeks. This is done with a needle and small cannula.
  1. You may experience a small amount of bruising and/or swelling. This should go away in a day or two.
  2. It is advisable not to apply makeup to the treated area for 24 hours or so.
  3. Over the next four weeks, try not to apply pressure to the treated area.
  4. Drink 1-2 litres of water a day for optimum results.
  5. For ongoing maintenance, we recommend a repeat session as needed (approximately every 12-18 months).
