cheek augmentation
What is cheek augmentation?
Cheek augmentation, cheek fillers, mid-face rejuvenation. They're all talking about adding fillers to the cheek bone areas.
The Rejuvenation Doctors are extremely proud to only use the highest quality brands of hyaluronic acid fillers and most up to date techniques to ensure you get results that looks and feels natural.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that is made naturally by the body and found in the skin and joints, and its function is to provide volume and hydration.
Cheek augmentation is a popular treatment for women and men who want to create that chiselled cheek bone that give the face that contoured appearance.
​
It's important you choose a practitioner who understands and respects the differences of the natural male and female proportions, so that you leave the clinic still looking like you, just a more fabulous version of you.
Our Doctors are will discuss whether you want to feminise or masculinise
your face shape and how it can be achieved.

Rejuvenate
As we age, there are several areas of our face that loose volume and structural support, and the cheeks are one of them.
​
You may have noticed that your cheeks have become flat, or maybe they have dropped down and created a line that runs from your nose to corner of your mouth (the nasolabial fold).
​
Our Doctors often advise clients who w ant to get rid of their nasolabial fold or jowls to have their cheeks revolumised. This is because they understand that as we age, we lose our bone projection and our mid-face fat pads descend.
By adding different strength hyaluronic acid fillers that mimic bone and fat pads our Doctors are able to give you a rejuvenated appearance, that often indirectly helps soften the nasolabial folds and reduce the appearance of jowls.

FAQs
How long do cheek fillers take to carry out?
The procedure itself takes less around 30-45 minutes, but this is after a thorough consultation.
​
How long do cheek fillers last?
9-18 months depending on your body's ability to break down the filler.
We have found that people who smoke and use sun beds tend to metabolise filler quicker than others.
​
Do cheek fillers hurt?
We do everything we can to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. We use a combination of needles and cannulas (which are a blunt metal device that pushes its way through your lips instead of cutting, like needles do).
We also apply numbing cream to the areas we are going to inject.
​
Can men get cheek fillers?
Absolutely! Men can have whatever aesthetic treatments they want.
Cheek fillers and Jawline fillers are becoming increasingly more common amongst men who want to achieve a chiselled masculine look.
It's important you choose the right practitioner though, otherwise you could end up with feminine cheek bones.
​
Are cheek fillers safe?
We only use the highest quality hyaluronic acid fillers from the most reputable brands. Hyaluronic acid is made and broken down in the body naturally, and has been used in aesthetics for around 35 years.
Any needle entering the skin, means there is a risk of bruising and infection, but as doctors we know the importance of carrying out procedures in a sterile environment.
It is rare, but there have been cases of filler being injected into arteries and blocking the blood supply to the skin.
The great thing about hyaluronic acid fillers is, if a complication was to happen, or you were unhappy with your results - then as doctors we can inject a dissolving agent to completely dissolve the filler.
​
Can I have fillers whilst pregnant?
Unfortunately, you can't have any filler or Botox whilst pregnant or breast feeding. There aren't any studies showing it's harmful, but who would willingly sign up to one of them anyway? Enjoy your time off with your new family addition and we'll be happy to see you back in clinic later on.
​
Who can perform filler injections?
Although it is not against the law in England for anyone to buy and inject filler, we strongly believe that aesthetic procedures should only be carried out by a registered medical professional. This is because 1 day courses simply are not enough to learn the anatomy, safe and sterile techniques, and medical knowledge required to recognise complications early and treat them.
All out treatments are carried out by fully qualified, registered and insured Doctors.
