What Are Dermal Fillers for Lips?

As we age, our faces naturally undergo several changes that affect their shape, fullness, and overall appearance. Cheek dermal fillers are an advanced injectable treatment that addresses this problem, restoring youthful volume to your face using premium hyaluronic acid gel.

Hyaluronic acid works like a molecular sponge, attracting and retaining water to hydrate and plump your skin from within. It also works in perfect harmony with your skin's own collagen and elastin, providing structural support and maintaining skin elasticity.

This creates natural-looking results that enhance cheekbones and restore facial volume. Best of all, you will not only see immediate improvements after your treatment but also continued results as the cheek augmentation filler settles and integrates with your tissue.

What to Expect During Your Cheek Filler Appointment

We begin with a thorough consultation, during which we discuss your goals, assess your facial structure, and create your personalised treatment plan. To minimise bruising, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and certain supplements for the week leading up to your appointment.

During your treatment, which typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas treated, our expert practitioner will carefully inject the dermal filler into different cheek areas to instantly sculpt and enhance your facial features.

After your cheek filler appointment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is a completely normal effect that typically subsides within a few days. While you can return to most daily activities immediately, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat for 24-48 hours.

Your enhanced cheek contours will continue to settle and refine over the next two weeks, revealing your final, natural-looking result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do fillers last on cheeks?

Generally, cheek fillers tend to last longer than other facial areas because there"s less movement in this region compared to areas like the lips. They last between 18 and 24 months, making them one of the longer-lasting filler treatments available. However, the longevity of your results can vary depending on unique factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and the type and amount of filler used.

What is the recovery time after cheek fillers?

With dermal fillers for cheeks, there is minimal downtime, and you can return to most daily activities immediately after or by the next day. To ensure optimal recovery, our team recommends applying cool compresses if needed for comfort, staying upright for at least 4 hours after treatment, keeping your skin clean, and avoiding makeup for 12 hours.

If you"re planning your treatment around a special event, we recommend scheduling your appointment at least two weeks beforehand. This allows plenty of time for any minor swelling or bruising to resolve and for your results to settle fully, ensuring you look your absolute best for your important occasion.

Who is not a good candidate for cheek augmentation fillers?

While dermal fillers for cheekbones are a safe and effective treatment for many, you may not be a suitable candidate if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have active skin infections or inflammation in or around the treatment area
Have a history of severe allergic reactions (particularly to hyaluronic acid products)
Are currently taking certain blood-thinning medications that cannot be temporarily paused
Have an autoimmune condition that affects your skin
Have a bleeding disorder
Are planning facial surgery in the near future
Have permanent facial implants in the treatment area
Currently have active cold sores or other skin conditions in the treatment area

During our initial consultation, if we find that dermal fillers aren’t suitable, we’d be happy to suggest alternative treatments that better suit your needs and circumstances.
