Cheek filler can do two things: define the cheekbones and plump the mid cheek. The technique and product is different for each result.

To lift and define the cheekbones naturally, I use a needle and my product of choice will always be a robust filler to mimic the deep structures. This is injected painlessly down to bone level to lift and give structure.

To plump the mid cheeks I use a cannula to deposit filler into the deep fat pads. This will plump the tissues up.  Cheeks are fully settled and healed within 2 weeks.

Often treating the midface in this way helps to reduce the look of a slightly sagging jawline and nose to mouth lines.

Contrary to popular belief, cheek filler can last several years in the deep tissues but is undetectable once integrated. This leads to the mistaken conclusion that it has gone.
