As we age we can lose volume in the cheek area which can lead to our faces looking hollow or gaunt.
Cheek fillers are one of our most popular treatments since they add volume and structure back into the area. They also have the added benefit of reducing the look of tired under-eyes.
At Youtopia, we take a holistic approach to aesthetics, and encourage our patients to consider facial harmonisation. This means that we consider the overall balance and harmony of the face when performing treatments, to ensure that the final result is natural and beautiful.

NATURAL RESULTS
The Treatment
The ageing of the mid-face is a natural and complex process influenced by a combination of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle, and the gradual loss of collagen and elastin in the skin.
Cheek filler allows us to restore mid facial volume loss due to ageing, offers support to the under eye, balance your facial proportions and overall rejuvenate your features.
Cheek fillers treat the following concerns
Volume Loss
As we age, there is a reduction in the volume of fat and soft tissue in the mid-face, leading to a loss of youthful fullness. This can result in the appearance of hollowed cheeks and a flatter contour.
Changes in Bone Structure:
The bones in the face may undergo changes over time, contributing to alterations in facial shape. Bone resorption, especially in the cheekbone area, can affect the overall structure of the mid-face.
Skin Sagging and Wrinkles:
The skin’s elasticity decreases with age, leading to sagging in the mid-face region. Fine lines and wrinkles may develop around the eyes, nose, and mouth, further contributing to an aged appearance.
Mid-Face Ptosis:
Ptosis refers to the descent or drooping of tissues. In the mid-face, this can manifest as a descent of the cheeks and a deepening of the nasolabial folds (the lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth).
Common Questions
Cheek enhancement is a non surgical treatment that involves the injection of a dermal filler into the cheeks to enhance their volume, shape and contour. The filler used in the treatment is made of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that is naturally found in the body and helps to add volume and hydration to the skin.
Cheek enhancement works by restoring lost volume and enhancing the natural contours of the cheeks. As we age, we naturally lose volume in the face, which can result in a sunken and hollow appearance. Cheek filler can help to restore this volume, resulting in a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
The cheek enhancement treatment is a non-surgical procedure. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes, and involves multi layering of dermal filler with advanced techniques into the targeted areas of the mid face. The treatment is relatively painless, and most patients experience only minor discomfort.
No, cheek enhancement treatment when performed by an expert medical practitioner should not make you look unnatural. I take a holistic approach to medical aesthetics and consider the overall balance and harmony of your face when performing treatments, to ensure that the final result is natural and beautiful.
During your consultation, I will assess your individual needs and concerns and recommend the most suitable treatment options for you. Cheek filler treatment may be suitable for you if you have lost volume in your cheeks due to ageing or other factors, and wish to restore a more youthful and balanced facial appearance.
You will typically see the results of the cheek enhancement treatment immediately after the procedure.
The effects of the cheek enhancement treatment typically last between 12 -18 months. However, with regular maintenance treatments, the effects can be prolonged, ensuring that you continue to enjoy a youthful and balanced facial appearance.
