Cheek Volume

As we age, we tend to lose volume in the fat pads of the face. Collagen levels and elasticity also decreases, which is when sagging starts to occur.

Both the lower face and submentum (area under the chin) relies upon support from the mid and upper face. Using aesthetic cheek treatments replaces lost volume, hydrates the skin and roll back ageing clock.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?

Your experienced Nurse will then mark up the treatment area with a white pencil and administer a local anaesthetic before treatment commences. The entire cheek volume treatment will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. When you return for your two-week review, we will take another image of your face so we can compare the two images and accurately measure your treatment outcome.

Since there will be some bruising and swelling after your session, you may want to go home for the rest of the day. However, you can also choose to return to work.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with how your face looks after your session, the filler can be dissolved using a specialised enzyme. Moderation is key during all cosmetic injection treatments, which means you may want to add more filler at a second session once you see your final results.

WHO IS A CANDIDATE FOR A CHEEK VOLUME PROCEDURE?

Adults who have fine lines, wrinkles, facial sagging or a hollowed appearance are candidates for the procedure, as well as adults seeking a more contoured and defined facial shape.

Ultimately patient suitability is determined during a consultation with a Nurse.

ARE THERE ANY COMPLICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROCEDURE?

There are potential complications associated with every aesthetic procedure, even the simplest procedures. Although the potential complications associated with cheek volume treatments are rare, it is important you are informed of all the risks, allowing you to make an informed decision about treatment.

Although relatively uncommon, bruising may occur after a cheek volume session, as well as mild tenderness and mild swelling in the treatment area. These side effects should not interrupt your normal daily routine.

You and the treating nurse will have an in-depth discussion about all of the above during your initial cheek volume consultation.

WHO WILL PERFORM THE CHEEK VOLUME TREATMENT?

An experienced Aesthetic Nurse will conduct the initial consultation and if the patient is suitable for treatment, they will also perform the treatment.

WHAT IS THE COST FOR A CHEEK VOLUME CONSULTATION?

New patient consultations are complimentary with our Aesthetic Nurse. We must ensure you make an informed decision.
