Cheek Enhancements With Dermal Fillers: Your FAQs Answered
Are you considering dermal fillers for cheek enhancements but unsure if they’re right for you? Cheek filler treatments have become increasingly popular for their ability to restore volume, define cheekbones, and create a naturally youthful appearance – without the need for surgery.
While dermal fillers are often linked to cosmetic clinics and med spas, did you know that dentists also specialise in using them to enhance balance and facial aesthetics?
At 41 South Bar, we do more than enhance your smile – we create natural-looking cheek enhancements that restore volume, define contours, and bring out the best in your natural beauty.
What Is Cheek Enhancement & Why Should You Get Them?
Cheek enhancements are a cosmetic treatment designed to restore lost volume, define cheekbones, and create a more youthful, balanced appearance. As we age, our facial structure changes – muscle, fat, and bone shift over time, leading to loss of volume, sagging skin, and even jowl and gummy smile reduction. A lack of cheek fullness can also reduce support for the lower eyelids, making eye bags and hollows more prominent.
The types of cheek enhancement treatments include:
- Dermal Fillers – A nonsurgical, quick, minimally invasive treatment designed to smooth out wrinkles and restore lost volume, helping to rejuvenate and refresh your appearance
- Cheek Implants – A permanent solution involving surgically placed implants to enhance cheek structure, requiring downtime
- Fat Transfer – Uses fat from another part of the body to restore volume, offering long-lasting results but requiring multiple procedures
At 41 South Bar, we use premium hyaluronic acid-based fillers – a naturally occurring substance in the body – to enhance your facial structure.
How Do Dermal Fillers Enhance The Cheeks?
As we age, our skin loses elasticity and volume, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance in the cheek area. Our skilled Cosmetic dentists carefully inject the filler just above the cheekbones, adding a lift, restoring lost volume, and creating beautifully balanced facial contours.
Whether you’re looking to soften signs of ageing or define your cheekbones for a more sculpted look, our team personalises each treatment to suit your unique facial features and aesthetic goals. Using high-quality cheekbone enhancers to create natural, long-lasting results that complement your facial structure.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last In The Cheeks?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Hyaluronic acid fillers, the most commonly used option, typically last between 6 to 18 months. To keep your results looking fresh and natural, we recommend regular top-up appointments with our expert dental team, at 41 South Bar.
