Cheek Filler Brisbane | Cheek Dermal Fillers and Biostimulator Injections

Cheek filler can contour, volumise or enhance the appearance of your cheeks, aiming to replace volume lost with aging or weight loss, restore symmetry for facial balance, or act as a beautifying strategy. Cheek enhancement generally requires 1 – 4 ml cheek filler, depending on your goal and starting point. In addition to traditional cheek fillers, our doctors specialise in biostimulator filler injections. These provide immediate results and sustained long-lasting improvement in contour and skin textures. In addition thread living may be a better approach.

Beauty Concepts for Cheek Enhancement

What creates a beautiful face, and how do cheek fillers create or restore beauty and youthfulness? Cheeks are an essential feature of the face and undergo flattening and drooping with age. Facial ageing signs are cumulative changes to the face caused by gravity, changes to the skin, soft tissue and facial fat pads. The malar face pads lie just under the eye and are responsible for youthful cheek plumpness. With the pull of gravity over time, the malar pads redistribute down the face. Thus, causing under-eye hollows, cheek flattening, and, as the fat settles lower down the face, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and jowl formation.

The Cheek Line and Jaw Line  – Critical Features for Youth and Beauty

Cheeks and jawlines are the keys to a beautiful face, and the frames and curves formed by these are critical to youthful features. Our doctors replicate four elements in cheek enhancement: restoring volume to the midface, returning the Ogee curve, the cheek peak point, and a defined jawline parallel to the cheek line.

The Triangle of Youth vs The Pyramid of Age

The face is divided into thirds, the upper face, midface and lower face. In youth, the widest part of the face is at the cheek level;  and this gives the face a triangular appearance – called the youth triangle. However, as we age and the fat pads descend and settle further down the face, the widest part of the face is now at the jawline, causing the face to become more like a pyramid, ‘the pyramid of age’.

Cheek fillers restore volume to the midface to rebalance the face.

The Ogee Curve

The most outstanding feature of youth is the lateral projection of the cheek – the ogee curve. The ogee curve describes a double ‘S-shaped curve around cheek convexities when observed at a 45-degree angle. Younger women have a broader ogee curve with youthful fullness in the mid-face. However, as you age, the ‘s-shaped curve flattens, and the lack of contour makes you appear older.

Cheek dermal fillers are used to restore the ogee curve. (This will look unnatural if overcorrected.)

The Cheek Peak Point

A third critical beautifying feature is the peak point of the cheek. If you observe the light reflection from a youthful cheek, you will notice a certain point where this light reflection is most intense. This point coincides with maximal cheek projection, and the optimal position for this is high in the cheek, inferior to the outer lower eyelid.

Cheek fillers recreate the cheek peak point.

Creating Parallel Cheek Line and Jawline

The final critical beauty factor is having a defined jawline parallel to a defined high cheek line. To create beauty, it is vital to consider the whole face. Sometimes, it is necessary to treat the jawline in addition to cheek filler,  and even adding chin filler to increase forward projection further sculpts the jawline.

The parallel lines of a defined jawline and cheeks lines are restored with cheek and jawline filler.

For beautifying, cheek dermal fillers restore cheek curves and peaks and create parallel lines to the other primary face frame, the jawline. So what cheek appearance provides beauty or youthfulness? How do cheek fillers restore this, and what are your treatment options?

Cheek Enhancement 

Cheek enhancement should restore lost cheek volume, plump out the ogee curve, create a cheek peak point and define parallel lines between the jaw and cheek lines. However, cheek dermal fillers achieve more than just cheek enhancement.

  • Cheek fillers improve the appearance of tear troughs, hollows under the eyes and eye bags by supporting the lower eyelid ligaments.
  • Cheek filler helps lift the nasolabial fold through a backup effect.
  • Cheek fillers help improve the appearance of lower face jowls through a flow-on effect.
  • Cheek filler smooths cheek wrinkles through a plumping effect.

Procedure For Cheek Dermal Fillers

  • The first step is to consult our Doctors to see if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
  • The procedure takes approximately 45 – 60 minutes, paying attention to the aesthetic changes.
  • There should be minimal discomfort during the process.
  • To reduce discomfort, topical and local anaesthetic can be used. The hyaluronic gel in the cheek filler also contains a local anaesthetic.
  • Our doctors prefer to use a cannular injecting technique for cheek filler to reduce the risk of bruising and injection into blood vessels.

Results and Recovery from Cheek Fillers

Recovery time is typically short, and the cheek-filling and plumping results will be visible immediately. However, the final result can take up to a month to fully develop.

  • If possible, avoid sleeping on your side for the first few days after treatment.
  • To help the cheek filler plump –  stay hydrated.
  • It would be best to avoid strenuous exercises and activities 48 hours after treatment (walking is fine, but no gym heroics!).
  • The effects of cheek dermal fillers last from 12 to 18 months.
  • Common side effects include bruising, redness, swelling, and tenderness. So it is essential to factor this into the timing of your treatment. Consider scheduling your treatment so there are no significant events for the next two weeks.

Alternatives for Cheek Dermal Fillers

  • There are also treatments available, such as fat transfer (using fat to enhance your cheeks). However, this is a more invasive procedure and necessitates liposuction to harvest the fat. Cheek fillers, instead of fat, provide more cheek projection and shape.
  • PDO thread lifts to restore volume to the cheek area.
  • A facelift is excellent for getting rid of redundant skin and tightening it. However, it does not restore volume; a fat transfer or cheek filler will still be required to correct the ogee curve and restore the cheek peak.

What are the Advantages of Cheek Fillers?

  • The cheek enhancement procedure with cheek fillers is a lunchtime procedure that our doctors complete in less than an hour, and most people can resume their normal activities right away.
  • Furthermore, unlike facelifts or fat transfer, no general anaesthesia is required.
  • Cheek fillers are less invasive and expensive than cheek thread lifts or surgery.
  • There is a high level of satisfaction with cheek dermal fillers.
  • While cheek fillers are less risky than surgery, our doctors will discuss potential complications during your initial free consultation.

Procedures Performed in Conjunction with Cheek Filler

The therapeutic approach for facial contouring should be customised, depending on volume loss, sagging and skin condition. Combinations are often essential for harmony and balance.

  • Cheek dermal fillers are frequently combined with lip, undereye, or jawline fillers in younger women.
  • Cheek filler can be combined with masseter muscle injections to achieve a more oval face shape.
  • You can combine cheek enhancement with a jowl lift or a thread lift. But the best lifting is achieved by a combination of filler and threads.
