Advanced Dermal Filler

Cheek filler is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses dermal fillers to add volume and definition to the cheeks. The fillers are injected into the cheeks using a small needle or cannula, and the results are typically seen immediately.

Cheek filler is a popular treatment for people who want to improve the appearance of their cheekbones and midface region. It can be used to:

  • Restore lost volume
  • Create a more defined cheekbone shape
  • Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and folds in the lower face
  • Provide structural support to help lift the face
  • Improve the overall appearance of the face

 

Augmentation of the cheek and midface, can have some unexpected benefits. Many patients note an improvement in the appearance of the under eye area, such as a reduction in darkness under the eye. Additionally, the structural support can reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds and laxityin the lower face.

As with all injectable procedures, there are a few risks associated, including:

  • Bruising
  • Swelling
  • Infection
  • Allergic reaction
  • Unnatural appearance

In rare cases, more serious complications can occur, such as:

* Asymmetry

* Lumpiness

* Skin necrosis (tissue death)

During consultation, Orlagh will inform all patients about the risks and benefits of cheek fillers before you decide if the procedure is right for you.

Tips to help reduce the risk of complications from cheek/midface fillers:

* Choose a qualified and experienced practitioner.

* Get a consultation before the procedure.

* Ask about the risks and benefits of the procedure.

* Follow the practitioner’s aftercare instructions.

 

If you experience any problems after your fillers, contact Orlagh or the practitioner who performed the procedure right away.  

*The cost varies depending on the type of filler used, the amount of filler needed, for an individualised result. Cheek filler typically lasts for 6-12 months.  Filler is not a permanent solution. The effects of the treatment will eventually wear off and the procedure may need to be repeated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.

How does Botox treatment work?

A.

When injected into a muscle, Botulinum Toxin (Botox®) blocks nerve signals to temporarily relax the muscle. Dynamic wrinkles are prevented from forming because the nerve impulses are stopped and the muscle is temporarily unable to contract. This makes the skin appear more youthful, softer, and smoother.

Q.

Are the injections painful?

A.

Given that a very fine needle is used, Botox injections are generally painless. As a result, patients do not need any anaesthetic. The entire procedure lasts for roughly 15-20 minutes, and you can drive and go to work the same day.

Q.

Are there any adverse effects?

A.

Botox treatments have very few adverse effects. Occasionally, people report a little localised discomfort and tenderness following injections. There may be some slight swelling at the injection site, but this normally goes away within 48 hours. Additionally, some minor bruising is possible. Sometimes, the procedure can cause surrounding muscle groups to relax, temporarily causing the eyebrow or eyelids to droop. This might last for a few weeks, but it will subside gradually. Although it can happen, allergic reactions are extremely uncommon with medicines. As the muscles in the forehead relax, some people may experience tension-type headaches.

Q.

Is Botox safe for use?

A.

The use of botulinum toxin as a muscle relaxant has a long history in medicine and is incredibly safe. Over the past 20 years, it has been used successfully in both adults and children for a range of medical issues. Since it has been used to treat facial wrinkles aesthetically for about 15years, it has grown to be one of the most well-liked and often administered cosmetic procedures.

Q.

How long does it last?

A.

After the initial treatment, it can take 2 to 14 days before the full results are visible. The cosmetic results normally last between three and four months but can sometimes continue for up to six months.  A 2 week review will be carried out to evaluate effectiveness of initial treatment.  If required, a small top up dose may be offered. The effects will begin to gradually begin to wear off around 8 weeks post initial treatment. Most people decide to get further treatment when movement returns.  It is not advisable to have another treatment within 12 weeks, as this can result in resistance.  However, regular treatments will help the longevity of the effects.

Q.

What After Care Advice Should I Follow?

A.

Avoid rubbing or touching the injected areas and avoid having facials and massage for 48 hours to reduce the potential for infection at the site of injection. Vigorous exercise and alcohol-based products, should be avoided for 48hours post treatment, as these can increase possibility of bruising. If bruising develops, Arnica cream can be used. Paracetamol can be taken for mild pain post procedure if required, avoid any anti-inflammatory medications as these can increase the risk of bruising.
