CHEEK ENHANCEMENT AT REFRESH MEDISPA
Cheek fillers, also known as cheek augmentation or cheek enhancement, involve the use of injectable dermal fillers to add volume and definition to the cheeks. As we age, the cheeks tend to lose volume and become hollow, leading to a sunken or aged appearance. Cheek fillers can effectively address this issue by restoring volume, enhancing facial contours, and rejuvenating the overall appearance.
About Cheek Fillers
During the treatment process, a qualified medical professional will assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine the most suitable filler type and injection technique. Commonly used fillers for cheek augmentation include hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Teoxane, which are known for their natural-looking results and safety profile.
The treatment typically begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to minimise discomfort. The filler is then injected into specific areas of the cheeks using a fine needle or cannula. The density and amount of filler used depend on the desired level of augmentation and the patient’s facial structure. The injector may strategically place the filler along the cheekbones, mid-cheek area, or apple of the cheeks to achieve a balanced and harmonious result.
After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Makeup can be applied to conceal any temporary discoloration.

FAQs
- Am I suitable for cheek fillers?
Suitable candidates for cheek fillers are individuals experiencing volume loss or flattening in the cheeks due to ageing or genetics. They should be in good health with realistic expectations and no contraindications to filler ingredients. Candidates seeking enhanced cheek definition or facial symmetry may also benefit from cheek augmentation.
- Can cheek fillers combine with other treatments?
Cheek fillers can be combined with other treatments, however, these will depend on the specific treatment goal. If enhancing the overall facial profile is the desired outcome, other filler treatments such as: lip fillers for fuller lips, chin fillers for improved chin projection, and jawline fillers for a more defined jawline can be used to achieve balanced facial proportions and a harmonious aesthetic appearance. Consult with the experts at Refresh Medispa to find out more.
- Are cheek fillers safe?
Cheek fillers are generally safe when administered by Refresh Medispa’s qualified practitioners. Most dermal fillers contain biocompatible materials, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. However, temporary side effects like swelling or bruising may occur. Risks are minimised with proper injection technique, patient assessment, and adherence to safety protocols.
- What downtime should I expect following cheek fillers?
Following cheek fillers, minimal downtime is expected. Temporary side effects like swelling or bruising may occur but typically subside within a few days. Patients can resume usual activities immediately, although avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours is advisable. Makeup can often conceal any post-treatment effects.
- How long do cheek fillers last?
The duration of cheek filler results varies based on factors like filler type and individual metabolism. Typically, results last from 6-12 months. Maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain optimal outcomes, as the filler gradually breaks down and is absorbed by the body.
