Cheek filler is a highly effective treatment that can restore youthful volume, lift, and definition to the face. It can dramatically soften the signs of ageing or be used to enhance natural contours, creating structure and balance.
In our younger years, the cheeks appear full and lifted due to plump, well-supported fat pads. As we age, these fat pads gradually lose volume and descend, while the surrounding support structures weaken. This can cause the mid-face to look hollow or sunken, and shadowing beneath the cheekbones can create a tired appearance.
At our Marylebone Clinic, dermal filler is carefully placed to restore lost volume, revitalising the mid-face and bringing back natural lift and radiance. By replenishing volume, shadowing is reduced and light reflects beautifully off the cheekbones — instantly creating a more youthful, refreshed look.
Cheek filler can also be artistically layered to enhance contour and shape. Much like makeup contouring, precise placement of filler can highlight the cheekbones, add definition, and create a soft, lifted effect. Even subtle adjustments can transform facial harmony, achieving a naturally sculpted, model-like appearance.
Treatment is typically performed using a combination of fine needles and a cannula for precision and comfort. A denser filler is used in this area to replicate the natural firmness of the cheekbone, with results that can last up to 18 months.
