CHEEK FILLERS

There are two different types of cheek treatments.

The first is the emphasis of the cheekbones. For this we use Juvederm Voluma which is a high molecular weight filler which can last up to 18 months. Usually we make three injections along the cheekbones to give you your beautiful new cheekbones. Sometimes we may use a cannula instead, particularly if your face is very slim. This treatment is suitable for any age group and in older people it also helps to lift sagging of the cheeks and jowls.

The second type of cheek filler that we use is Juvederm Volift to plump out the centre of the cheeks  where fat is lost as we get older. This has the added advantage of smoothing out nose to mouth wrinkles and other lines. Again it also helps to lift the jowls. This would be done with a cannula so that we can spread out the filler and avoid any problems with arteries and nerves. The advantage of this is that it also produces little bruising.

You can also have both treatments, which is super in older ladies who have lost volume.

As always, we numb the area first with anaesthetic cream and neither procedure is very painful. There is usually virtually no bruising with either treatment and you can easily go out after the procedure without anyone knowing.
