Cheek Bone Enhancement with Dermal Fillers

Introduction

Strong, well-defined cheekbones can make a dramatic difference to your facial harmony, giving structure, lift, and youthful contours. At Bayswater Dental Clinic, we offer cheek bone augmentation using dermal fillers to subtly boost volume, restore dimension, and rebalance your midface — without surgery. This page explains how the process works, whether you are a good candidate, and what to expect before, during, and after treatment.

Benefits

Adds natural-looking volume to hollow or flat cheek areas.
Lifts sagging skin and improves midface contour.
Softens the appearance of nasolabial folds and cheek-to-jowl transitions.
Immediate results with minimal interruption to your routine.
Customisable — the amount and placement of filler is tailored to your face.
Many filler types can be adjusted or reversed if needed.
Relaxed recovery, often allowing you to resume most activities quickly.

Treatment Process

Consultation & tailored planning

We start with a detailed facial analysis — examining bone structure, skin thickness, symmetry, and your aesthetic goals. Together we determine appropriate filler options and define a treatment plan.

Preparation

Your skin is cleansed, and local anaesthesia or numbing gel is applied for comfort.

Precise injection of filler

Using fine needles or cannulas, the clinician places the filler in predetermined zones above the cheekbones or in the malar region. The injections are delivered in gradual stages to build natural volume.

Shaping and smoothing

After placement, the area is gently massaged to smooth the filler, balance contours, and fine tune the look. We evaluate from multiple angles and make any necessary adjustments.

Review & next steps

You will see a noticeable enhancement immediately. Before you leave, we review symmetry, provide aftercare guidance, and arrange follow-up as needed.

A full session, including preparation, injection, and evaluation, typically lasts 30–60 minutes.

Cost

To get an accurate quote for cheek bone augmentation, we ask that you call the clinic. Pricing depends on the filler type, how many syringes are needed, and the complexity of sculpting. We provide full transparency once your facial analysis is complete.

Aftercare

Follow these guidelines after treatment to support healing and maintain results:

Avoid touching or massaging the treated cheeks for at least 12 hours.
Refrain from strenuous exercise, sauna, or heat exposure for 24–48 hours.
Use cold compresses to mitigate swelling or bruising.
Try sleeping with your head elevated the first night.
Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for one day.
Limit sun exposure and tanning beds for a few days.
Use gentle facial cleansers and postpone exfoliants or peels for a week.
Attend your follow-up visit so we can assess and refine results.

Minor swelling, bruising or redness is common and should subside within a few days. Contact us if you notice lumps, unevenness, or unusual discomfort.

Suitability

You may be a good candidate if you:

Want fuller, more defined cheekbones.
Have lost midface volume through ageing or weight loss.
Are in good general health and understand the nature of non-surgical enhancement.
Accept that maintenance may be necessary.

You may not be suitable if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have active skin infection or inflammation in the area.
Have known allergies to filler substances.
Take strong blood-thinning medications.
Have certain autoimmune disorders.

During your consultation we review your medical history, skin health, and facial structure to confirm safety and suitability.

Alternatives & Complimentary Treatments

Cheek implants or surgical augmentation — for those seeking permanent structural change.
Fat grafting / fat transfer — your own fat is harvested and injected to restore volume.
Thread lifts — to lift sagging tissues in conjunction with, or instead of, fillers.
Skin tightening or resurfacing (laser, radiofrequency) — to improve skin tone and firmness.
Combination therapy — filler plus Botox or skin treatments can enhance harmony.

We’ll discuss which approach (or combination) aligns best with your goals and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do cheek bone fillers work?

The filler fills the area over and above the cheekbone, restoring volume and contour where tissue loss or sagging has occurred.
When will I see the results?

You’ll notice a visible improvement immediately, though final results settle as swelling reduces over a few days.
How long do results last?

Depending on filler type, area treated, and individual metabolism, results often last 9 to 18 months — sometimes more.
Is it painful?

We use numbing cream and gentle techniques to minimise discomfort. Most patients feel only mild pressure.
Can cheek fillers be reversed?

If hyaluronic acid-based fillers are used, they can be safely dissolved if needed. We’ll discuss this in your consultation.
What side effects exist?

Temporary bruising, swelling, tenderness, and redness are common and resolve quickly. Rare complications may occur with poor technique or unsuitable candidacy.
How many sessions are needed?

Typically one session is enough for initial shaping. A small touch-up may be scheduled after 1–2 weeks for fine-tuning.
Will others know I had treatment?

Our aim is subtle enhancement. Most notice you look refreshed or more structured, rather than “filled.”
