Cheek dermal filler | Cityskin Melbourne & Sydney

As we age we lose volume in the cheeks. This can cause the cheeks to flatten or sag, which can in turn emphasise bags under the eyes and nasolabial folds.

Dermal filler can be placed in the cheek area to replace the lost volume and give a more youthful appearance. Sometimes treating cheek volume can improve the appearance of the ‘tear trough‘.

As a general rule, we recommend using at least 1.0 ml dermal filler to each cheek to replace volume. A thicker, longer lasting filler can be used in the cheek area.

In the picture below, our patients have had dermal filler to the cheeks to replace lost volume. You can see that in the after photo the bags under the eyes (‘tear trough‘) are reduced and the cheeks have been lifted.

How much cheek filler do I need?

The amount of dermal filler that you need to treat cheeks depends on:

Your age – as a general rule we need less dermal filler to lift the cheeks when we are younger
How much lift you would like to achieve
How much volume depletion there is in the cheeks – sunken cheeks need much more filler than someone with full cheeks
The type of dermal filler used – some lift more than others
The shape of the face – if you have high cheekbones then you will need less filler to lift

We tend to use between 1ml and 3ml of cheek filler per treatment in order to achieve the results that you are after.
