Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be used to rejuvenate the mid face (especially cheeks). We use these HA fillers to restore volume loss that happens naturally with the aging process.
Over time a combination of bone resorption, thinning and drooping of fat pads, and changes in skin quality lead to flattened cheeks. When our cheeks are flat like this they don’t reflect light so well, and this makes us look more aged. Anatomical differences between faces also means that some people are just born with flatter cheek bones, or have thinner fat pads. HA fillers can help!
How long will cheek filler last?
12-18+ months. Depending on the type that you choose, cheek fillers can last anywhere from 12 months to 2 years. The injected hyaluronic acid eventually dissolves and metabolises into your skin tissue.
What does filler in your cheeks do?
Filler restores volume in your face to rejuvenate your look and reflect light for better ‘beautification’. By adding volume to the cheek area and contouring the shape of your cheek with HA fillers, you can visibly lift your cheekbones and the lower face while filling out fine lines in the process.
Does cheek filler hurt?
You will only feel mild discomfort, if anything at all, when having dermal fillers. The product contains its own anaesthetic, so as we inject it you will start to feel some dull numbness in the area. You may feel a small prick of the needle going in, or a gentle tug if we are using a blunt-tip cannula. Overall cheek filler is not particularly uncomfortable.
How much filler do I need?
This varies from person to person. Some people may start very subtly with only 1ml in total, but this may not make enough of a visible difference for you. Others will have 2 – 3mls for cheeks if we are also treating their pre-auricular area (hollowing in front of the ears).
Which areas are treated with mid face and cheek filler?
We treat the medial (middle) and lateral (outer) cheeks, the nasolabial folds, and the pre-auricular (in front of the ears) area. We can also used soft fillers to treat the overlying skin to improve hydration and fine lines.
How much does cheek filler cost?
This varies depending on the number of syringes used. Prices start at $750, with multiple syringe packages available.
