Non Surgical Cheek Enhancement

How can I enhance my cheeks non-surgically?

Cheeks are a very important feature of the mid-face and tend to droop and flatten with age. This leads to the formation of jowls (the sag around the chin area), and nasolabial lines/folds (the line from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth). Replacing volume in the cheeks is therefore one of the most important areas to fill when rejuvenating the face. With inadequate cheek volume, the face can appear flattened and lack the natural youthful curves provided by fuller cheeks.

Cheek enhancement can be performed surgically by inserting cheek implants. For those who do not want a permanent change and the option of easy adjustability, there are injectable/non-surgical options.

Various dermal fillers can be injected into the cheeks. This is done in the doctors office/surgery. The amount of dermal filler required will vary from person to person, depending on the amount of volume loss to begin with, and the degree of enhancement desired. There are also options to have longer lasting fillers (such as filler type V or type SQ) which are slightly more expensive initially, but provide better value in the long term.

One of the advantages of treating the cheeks is that it lifts the entire face and reduces nasolabial lines and jowls. The shape of the face can be reverted to a youthful 'upside down triangle' with cheek fillers from a more square shaped face. Generally, the tear troughs should be treated simultaneously with the cheeks, to ensure a smooth transition from this area into the cheeks.

Dr. Gavin Chan demonstrates cheek enhancement using filler type JU+. The treatment area has been previously anaesthetised with a local anaesthetic nerve block. Filler type JU+ is injected with only a minimal number of injections to further enhance the cheeks.
