Cheek Enhancement

What is a cheek enhancement procedure?

Cheek enhancement is a minimally invasive treatment designed to add volume to the cheeks and improve facial balance.

Some individuals naturally have lower or flatter cheekbones, while for others, age-related changes such as loss of facial fat and skin elasticity can lead to a less defined cheek area. This may contribute to the appearance of a thinner or more aged face.

Nonsurgical cheek enhancement aims to:

• Add volume and fullness to the cheeks
• Improve the contour and proportion of the face
• Provide a subtle rejuvenation without surgery

The treatment involves placing facial volume treatments or similar materials into targeted areas of the cheeks to enhance facial structure.

Results are temporary and will gradually diminish over time.

• Repeat treatments may be recommended to maintain the effect.
• The outcome varies between individuals and depends on factors such as facial structure, skin condition, and the product used.

Who Might Consider This Procedure?

Nonsurgical cheek enhancement may be considered by adults who:

• Have naturally lower or flatter cheekbones
• Notice volume loss in the cheek area due to ageing
• Wish to enhance facial balance without undergoing surgery

A thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to determine if this treatment is suitable for you, based on your facial anatomy, goals, and medical history.

Benefits and Considerations

Potential Benefits:

• Minimally invasive, with no surgical incisions
• Little to no downtime — many people can resume normal activities soon after treatment
• Subtle and reversible results, with adjustments possible during follow-up treatments

Potential Risks and Side Effects:

All medical procedures carry some level of risk.

For cheek enhancement, side effects may include:

• Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treatment site
• Temporary bruising
• Uneven results or asymmetry in rare cases
• Allergic reaction to the product (uncommon)

These effects are generally temporary and tend to resolve within a few days. Your practitioner will discuss these risks with you during your consultation and provide pre- and post-care instructions to minimise potential complications.
