cheek & mid face filler

What does it do?

Cheek and mid-face filler treatments offer a fantastic way to provide structure and support to the face, addressing the natural loss of volume that starts occurring in the late 20s. This loss of volume can contribute to heaviness in the lower face, under-eye area, and nose-to-mouth lines. Cheek and mid-face filler treatment provides crucial support and definition to the middle third of the face, indirectly benefiting other areas like the tear trough and lower face. 

  • This versatile treatment can be used alone or in combination with other procedures. We always perform a thorough assessment of your entire face to determine the best treatment approach for the areas you wish to enhance.

Book Appointment 
who is it for?

To determine the best treatment option for you, we advise booking a consultation where we can assess your full face and provide personalised recommendations. The terms "cheeks" and "mid-face" are often used interchangeably. Depending on your specific needs, we may focus on the sides of the cheeks where the 'zygoma' bone is or target the area under the eye where the 'maxilla' bone is.

TREATMENT + recovery

The duration of this treatment is about 30 minutes, and you can enjoy the results for 12-18 months with minimal downtime. Regarding recovery, the results are visible instantly, and there is minimal swelling or downtime required. Many individuals can resume work and social activities on the same day, following the necessary aftercare rules. For the first 4 hours after treatment, we advise avoiding makeup, and intense exercise should be avoided for the first 5 days. It is normal to experience subtle bumps and irregularities initially, mainly due to swelling, which will resolve over time. It is also normal for your face to feel tight and restricted initially, so please allow 2-3 weeks for your face to settle.
