Cheek & Nasolabial Fold Fillers

Your face is unique and thus your treatment plan needs to be as well. However, we tend to use volumizing and longer-lasting fillers like Stylage XL/XXL Belotero Volume and of course our long-time favourite Radiesse Plus. These have ideal rheology (properties of how the fillers behave in your facial tissues) for use in this area. Visit our dermal fillers and OGEE Lift pages to learn more.

Many years ago, the accepted method of treating these folds was to simply place filler directly into the area. Significant advancement in our knowledge of the anatomy of ageing and the psychology of beauty has led to a positive shift in our approach. Although we may add a little product here, it is far more common to LIFT the fold rather than FILL it. This is done by careful placement of product in the cheek area. This will all be discussed in your consultation after a full facial assessment with photographs.

We take pride in the multitude of measures we implement to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Local anaesthetic in the product means you should very quickly be pain-free at each injection site. Patients often report to us how their experience has been significantly better and indeed enjoyable, when compared to treatments elsewhere, in the past. The fact that we always have an assistant with the injector, makes a big difference to your comfort and overall experience.

We value the process of educating our patients during the consultation process, to allow us to create a mutually agreed upon treatment plan. There is no need for you to identify what you need treated. Your full facial assessment by one of our reputable expert doctors or aesthetic practitioners will aid you in understanding your specific needs to achieve the outcome you desire.

Most patients get away with just a little swelling that may last a few days. However, you should always be ready to have bruising and more significant swelling. There may be some small, palpable lumps under the skin but these will rarely be a cosmetic issue and disappear in time. Full information on side effects will be discussed during your consultation.
