Cheek augmentation is one of the most popular procedures performed at the clinic. It is most commonly performed in patients complaining of loss of cheek volume, resulting/feeling “saggy”. This volume loss can have further effects of premature formation of jowls and loss of jawline definition. Restoring the cheek area with Juvederm Voluma often results in an improvement in ones nasolabial folds (nose-mouth lines), and eye area (under-eyes). The results will be subtle, but noticeable. The other cohort of patients may not be suffering from cheek volume loss, but instead seeking a more contoured define lateral cheekbone. We can also softley reshape faces to be less square/heavy if required.
We only inject Juvederm Voluma into the cheek, through both cannula (plastic tube) and sharp needle. Juvederm Voluma has long been considered the gold standard when augmenting cheeks, in both longevity (18-24 months) and texture. Over the 18 months, the hyaluronic acid gel slowly degrades. From our experience, other cheek filler brands do not exhibit the same longevity or texture as Voluma. The procedure itself is not painful, however topical anasthesia can be applied beforehand. Dr Sarwar performs all cheek augmentations at Skin Science Clinic.
This is dependant upon your own natural anatomy, but we have acheived excellent results injecting as little as half a syringe of Juverderm Voluma each side, with some patients require up to four syringes. On average our patients undergo a cheek augmentation through two-three syringes. Irregardless of how the number of syringes injected there should be no palpable lumps or bumps.
There are some risks associated with dermal fillers, and these will be discussed with you in detail during your consultation. On the whole cheek fillers are very safe, and none of our patients have had any serious complications during or post-procedure.
