What Are Cheek Fillers?
Cheek fillers are injectable substances, such as hyaluronic acid, that are used to restore volume, stimulate collagen production, and enhance the appearance of the cheeks. resulting in plumper cheeks and a more youthful appearance.
How Can Cheek Fillers Help for a Youthful Look?
The cheeks contribute greatly to our facial structure and characteristic appearance. The projection of cheeks from the bone frames your face and is important if you want to maintain a fresh, youthful appearance. Additionally, the cheeks operate as an anchor point for tissue in other areas of the face which is why maintaining your cheeks natural volume is an effective way of countering many of the visible signs of ageing.
Using high quality cheek fillers we aim to soften, lift and rejuvenate the effects of loss of volume in the cheeks and around the face.
By subtly restoring volume to this area, we directly improve your mid face structure and restore a more youthful balance to your appearance. For most people, a cheek treatment also indirectly improves the appearance of wrinkles in lower parts of the face like nasolabial folds, the lines between the nose and mouth.

Keep a Youthful Face With our Cheek Fillers
One of the most obvious signs of aging occurs when you lose volume in the face, which is why we associate a sunken face with old age. One of the reasons is that this thinning makes wrinkles more obvious. Many patients have found that restoring this volume with dermal fillers in the cheeks smooths out fine lines in the lower face too so it’s two anti-aging bonuses in one. Cheeks are a large area of the face so the eye is naturally drawn there so choosing to restore volume here will have a big impact.
Fillers don’t have to just be used for reversing signs of aging. They can be used to add definition to cheekbones too if you’re looking for a change in your face shape, or they can restore symmetry. Additionally, considering jawline filler can further enhance facial contours and provide a more defined appearance. Fuller cheeks can also make for a memorable smile, which is a mark of beauty at any age. For those considering refining their profile, nose fillers offer a non-surgical option to smooth out bumps or adjust the nose shape subtly.

Minimal Discomfort and Swelling with This Treatment

The needle used is very thin so you shouldn’t feel more than a slight pinch. The treatment is also fast, so fast in fact that many patients schedule it in their lunch break, so any discomfort doesn’t last long. There’s virtually no recovery period either, you may find you have some mild redness, bruising, or swelling in the cheeks but this will settle in a few days. You can even apply makeup the following day, but make sure your brushes are clean to avoid infection risk. You’ll see some results straight away with the final outcome evident at around two weeks. They’re a long-lasting treatment too as you’ll be able to go for around 18 months before you need a top-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does cheek fillers do?
Cheek fillers are specifically designed to add volume to the cheeks and the surrounding areas, including the cheekbones. By imparting an instant plumping effect, these dermal fillers restore and enhance cheek volume, providing definition to the natural cheekbone structure. This helps recreate youthful facial contours, contributing to a more rejuvenated appearance.
What are the common side effects of cheek fillers?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These typically subside within a few days.
What's the most effective treatment?
Although rare, risks include infection, allergic reactions, asymmetry, lumps, and migration of the filler material. The most significant risk is the unintentional injection into a blood vessel. When filler material enters a blood vessel, it can lead to complications such as skin tissue necrosis (tissue death), stroke, or vision loss.
How long do cheek fillers last?
The longevity of cheek fillers varies depending on the type of filler used. Typically, results can last between 6 months to 2 years before a touch-up is required.
How many ml of filler for cheeks?
The required amount of filler depends on the extent of volume loss and the desired outcomes. However, as a general guideline, practitioners typically utilize 1-3ml of cheek filler for each cheek.
How much do cheek fillers cost?
The cost of cheek fillers varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the practitioner’s expertise, and the geographic location. In Amara, the prices ranges from rom €500-€2000.
How long does swelling last after cheek fillers?
Swelling commonly arises between 24 to 72 hours following dermal filler injections and naturally diminishes thereafter. In rare instances, swelling may persist for a duration of 1 to 4 weeks.
How soon will I see results from cheek fillers?
Typically, it usually takes around 10-14 days for the final outcomes to become visible once any potential swelling has subsided. In cases where multiple injections are administered on the same day, one area may exhibit its final results sooner than another area.
How long is the recovery period after getting cheek fillers?
The recovery period for cheek fillers is minimal. It can last for approximately one to two days. Many patients can resume their regular activities immediately following the treatment. In fact, patients could even opt to schedule their treatment during their lunch break and return to work shortly after.
Can cheek fillers cause blindness?
While rare, complications arising from dermal filler treatments can have severe consequences. The most critical complications involve vascular issues, such as vascular occlusions, which can result in necrosis (tissue death), scarring, and in extremely grave cases, blindness.
Can cheek fillers be reversed?
When unwanted or detrimental outcomes arise from the use of dermal fillers, a solution known as Hyaluronidase is administered through injections to counteract the effects and dissolve the filler. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme naturally found in the body, which facilitates the breakdown of Hyaluronic acid, aiding in its swift and continuous replacement.
Can cheek fillers be used to treat sagging skin?
Cheek fillers can help improve mild sagging by adding volume, but they may not be a suitable solution for severe skin laxity. Other options like surgical facelifts may be more appropriate for such cases.
Can cheek fillers be used to correct facial asymmetry?
Enhancing the volume of your cheeks can be beneficial in minimizing the visibility of any imbalances by reshaping one side of your face to closely match the other. This approach can be particularly advantageous in addressing facial asymmetry resulting from either natural aging processes or dental treatments.
Can I wear makeup after putting on cheek fillers?
Following the dermal filler procedure, it is generally safe to resume applying makeup after just one day. However, it is crucial to ensure that your makeup brushes have been recently and thoroughly cleaned. Regular cleaning of makeup brushes is essential as they can harbor bacteria that may be transferred to your face.
Do cheek fillers look natural?
When administered by an experienced practitioner, cheek fillers can provide natural-looking results that enhance facial contours and restores youthful volume.
Do cheek fillers hurt?
During the cheek filler procedure, a fine needle is used to inject small quantities of filler beneath the skin. You might experience a slight pinch or sting, but generally, the procedure is not painful. Discomfort is typically minimal, and any potential sensations are well-tolerated by most individuals.
Are cheek fillers dangerous?
When administered by a qualified professional, cheek fillers are generally safe. However, like any procedure, there can be potential risks and side effects that should be discussed with your doctor.
Are there any risks associated with cheek fillers?
Although rare, risks include infection, allergic reactions, asymmetry, lumps, and migration of the filler material. The most significant risk is the unintentional injection into a blood vessel. When filler material enters a blood vessel, it can lead to complications such as skin tissue necrosis (tissue death), stroke, or vision loss.
