Cheek Augmentation 

Cheek augmentation is an umbrella term for any procedure that fills out cheeks to improve facial contours and restore lost volume. It can also restore facial symmetry. 

A decrease in the bony support and descent of the fat pads, can create sagging of the midface and produce prominent nasolabial creases and a tired and older appearance. As such, volume loss in this region is a significant hallmark of the ageing face, and so it follows that restoration of volume using safe dermal fillers will help to improve the appearance of the area.

Facial volume loss depends on genetics, disease, ideal body weight, dietary factors and a host of other considerations. Regardless of the cause, these deficits can now be treated with a series of injections by our experienced aestheticians, using injections into the zygomatic arch which can be used to lift the face. When these injections are properly placed and injected they can lift the face up and out. When improperly placed, they increase the forward projection of the face and make the person look like they have hamster cheeks . Thus, placement, lifting capability, the quantity of product, and the experience of the practitioner themselves are critical components of this procedure.
