Injectables & Contouring

Cheek
Fillers

Q: Will cheek filler make me look "done"?

No — when placed correctly in the deep tissue planes, cheek filler should look like a natural restoration of volume, not an obvious filler result. The goal is always a refreshed, natural appearance.

Q: Can cheek filler improve under-eye hollows?

Yes — restoring cheek volume can improve the transition between the lower lid and cheek, reducing the appearance of under-eye hollowing without directly treating the tear trough.

Q: How much filler is typically needed?

This varies by patient, but 1–2ml per side is common for a natural restoration. Your clinician will advise based on your assessment.

Q: How long does it last?

12–18 months in the mid-face. Some patients find it lasts longer with regular treatment as the tissue responds well over time.

Hyaluronic acid fillers to restore lost mid-face volume, enhance cheekbone contour and provide the structural foundation that supports the rest of the face.

About This Treatment

Cheek
Fillers

Volume loss in the mid-face — the cheeks and malar region — is one of the most significant and impactful changes in facial ageing. As cheek volume diminishes, the entire face appears to deflate downwards: nasolabial folds deepen, jowling appears, and the lower face becomes heavier relative to the upper face.

Restoring cheek volume with precision-placed hyaluronic acid filler addresses this at its root — lifting and supporting the mid-face provides a structural improvement that benefits the entire face. Well-placed cheek filler can reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds, soften under-eye hollows and provide an overall lifting effect.

At DermaMedica, cheek filler is always placed in the context of the overall facial structure — our clinicians assess how cheek volume relates to the rest of your face before determining the optimal placement and amount.

How It Works

The treatment
process.

Mid-Face Assessment

Your clinician assesses cheek volume loss and its impact on the rest of the face — identifying the optimal placement to restore support and facial balance.

Filler Placement

High-cohesivity HA filler is placed deep to the cheekbone and in the malar fat pad, restoring the structural volume that has been lost through ageing.

Immediate Structural Lift

Results are visible immediately — a lifted, more supported mid-face that improves the appearance of the entire face, including nasolabial folds and under-eye hollows.

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know.

Will cheek filler make me look "done"?

No — when performed correctly, cheek filler should enhance your natural features rather than look obvious. Our approach focuses on subtle volume restoration and facial balance for soft, natural-looking results.

Can cheek filler improve under-eye hollows?

In some patients, restoring volume to the cheeks can help support the under-eye area and reduce the appearance of hollows or tired-looking eyes. Your practitioner will assess whether cheek filler alone or a combination approach would be most suitable.

How much filler is typically needed?

The amount of filler required varies depending on your facial structure, desired result, and existing volume loss. Many patients achieve natural-looking enhancement with 1–2ml, although this will be discussed during your consultation.

How long does it last?

Cheek filler typically lasts between 12–18 months, depending on the product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors.
