About the treatment

Understanding cheek augmentation

Cheek Enhancement Treatment is designed to address volume loss and provide more structure and definition to the cheek region.

What is cheek enhacement?

Women and men often seek to have more prominent, voluminous and well-defined cheekbones.

Many people experience a loss of cheek volume. Either they were not born with cheek volume, or the ageing process has reduced it. The common causes of loss of cheek volume are decreasing bone density, thinning of the skin and drifting of the cheek’s underlying soft tissue downward with gravity.

A lack of cheek volume can make people feel as though their face appears tired and worn, which can also give the appearance of heaviness in the lower face around the chin, jaw and neck, and an aged look under the eyes.

Bella Plastic Surgery offers non-surgical cheek enhancement treatment for those who wish to address concerns in and around the cheek region.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What type of products are used?

+

There are a range of products, that contain different consistencies which are often broken down into three main categories: –

  • Thin products – designed to last 3-6 months
  • Mid-range products – designed to last 9-12 months
  • Semi-permanent products – designed to last 18-24 months

These products are made from complex sugar molecules that naturally occur in your body and bind with water to support your skin and increase volume.

At Bella Plastic Surgery, we use only the highest quality products to achieve long-lasting results.

What does the treatment involve?

Before treatment, we will apply a topical gel to desensitise your cheek area to help alleviate any discomfort.

A product(s) is then injected to plump your cheek area, creating a more natural height and definition for a non-surgical cheek lift.

How long do the results last?

+

A Cheek Enhancement treatment when using high-quality products, will typically last for 18-24 months.

What is the recovery time

+

This treatment may cause some bruising and swelling in the under-eye area which can persist for up to a week (or longer) following treatment so please ensure that you factor the downtime into your day-to-day commitments.
