Cheek Filler in Harley Street, London

Dermal fillers for the cheeks will instantly plump and lift the areas of the skin that need more support. They are injected into the underlying skin tissues and create a ‘scaffold’ for the uppermost layers. When expertly injected into specific areas, they can even perform a face-lifting effect to create a more pleasing and youthful face shape.

We utilise fillers in the area of the cheek in accordance with our research on the Phi golden ratio, to enhance the natural beauty of the cheek, in medical jargon termed the Ogee curve.

Results can be seen straight away as the dermal filler will physically plump, lift and support the tissues of the skin. There may be some slight swelling immediately after your treatment which can mask the true results, but this will ease in a day or so.

The product can take up to 2 weeks to fully settle and soften, and this is typically when optimum results can be experienced. After such time, you may wish to return to the clinic for a top-up or balancing which might be required.

The longevity of your results somewhat depends on your individual response to dermal fillers and how quickly your body will metabolise the product injected. Some dermal fillers are longer lasting as they are more viscous and contain a cross-linking agent, which stabilises the product and makes it ‘thicker’.

At The Harley Street Face Clinic, we use products that are proven to provide the highest safety records as well as exceptional performance. Some patients only need to have their cheeks enhanced once a year. However, expect to visit your practitioner every 6 to 12 months for repeat treatments. You will soon get to know your individual responses and the longevity of results.

You may have some slight swelling, tenderness and in rare cases, bruising following your treatment. However, this will ease in a day or so and will not prevent you from undertaking your normal everyday activities.

Aftercare will include avoiding saunas, hot baths, steam or excessive exercise for 24 hours post-procedure, as well as avoiding rubbing or touching the area for at least 48 hours. It’s important to be careful with your face after any cosmetic treatment and to use facial products that are approved for post-procedure care.

On extremely rare occasions there may be an allergic reaction to the product. This tends to happen however when the treatment has been administered by non-medics using counterfeit or ‘cheap’ dermal fillers.

At The Harley Street Face Clinic, we only use FDA approved, tested and proven dermal fillers, renowned for their safety records, their purity and their stability. Additionally, all our practitioners are medically qualified.

More often, some slight swelling, bruising and tenderness may be experienced for 24 to 48 hours after your dermal filler treatment, but this is very normal and can be treated with ice and arnica gel to speed up the healing process.
